Iron Maiden

In 1985, Iron Maiden was firmly established as a leading force in heavy metal, following the release of their critically acclaimed album "Powerslave" in September 1984. The "Live After Death" recording from January 1, 1985, captures the band at a pinnacle moment during their World Slavery Tour, which supported the album. This period marked a significant evolution in their sound and stage production, showcasing their theatrical approach to live performances. Notably, "Aces High" and "2 Minutes to Midnight," which are featured in the setlist, became emblematic of their iconic sound and lyrical themes that explore war and history. The tour was also monumental for the band, as it marked their first extensive North American tour, solidifying their international fanbase and reputation as one of the premier live acts in rock music.
