Iron Maiden 'The Clansman' Live Performance at Manchester Arena
In 2018, when Iron Maiden delivered a powerful performance of 'The Clansman' at the Manchester Arena, they were riding high on the wave of their album 'Book of Souls,' released in 2015. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was their first double studio album since 1998. 'The Book of Souls' showcased the band's knack for blending heavy riffs with rich storytelling, while 'The Clansman' itself is a fan favorite that harks back to their 1998 album 'Virtual XI.' Interestingly, this live rendition not only spotlighted Bruce Dickinson's soaring vocals but also highlighted the band's ability to connect with their audience—a hallmark of their legendary live shows. The concert was part of the 'Legacy of the Beast' tour, which celebrated their extensive discography and reaffirmed their status as heavy metal icons.
