Metal legends Iron Maiden formed in 1976 though it was four years before they released their first self-titled album, featuring the successful single “Running Free.” The band's second album, Killers, released in 1981, had a harder edge than their first and was also a hit. Original vocalist, Paul Di'Anno, left the band in 1982 and was replaced with Bruce Dickinson who completed what is now considered to be Iron Maiden's classic line-up. The same year saw the release of the seminal rock album Number of the Beast which was the band's first worldwide hit and featured such classic tracks as “Hallowed Be Thy Name” and the album's title track. Iron Maiden took full advantage of their new found global fame and quickly put out their next album Piece of Mind before going on two major tours.
Iron Maiden were on a roll and they released Powerslave, another huge album, in 1983. The band toured Powerslave for 11 months which resulted in 1985's double live album, Live After Death. Their next two releases were both concept albums, Somewhere in Time from 1986 and 1988's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Seventh Son was widely considered to be the band's best album since Number of the Beast and spawned the successful singles “The Evil That Men Do” and “The Clairvoyant.”
Another huge tour followed after which the band went back to basics with their 1990 album No Prayer for the Dying. After touring No Prayer throughout 1991, Bruce Dickinson decided to leave the band but not before they recorded their next album, Fear of the Dark, which was released in 1992. Dickinson then toured with the band which produced two more live albums, A Real Live One and A Real Dead One, which were both released in 1993.
After a spell with Blaze Bayley as their singer, Iron Maiden welcomed Dickinson back in 1999 and a new album, Brave New World, hit the charts in 2000. In 2005 they undertook a huge tour as co-headliners with Black Sabbath and they have continued to tour and release new albums ever since. In 2010, The Final Frontier, the band's 15th studio album was released.

This is the 3rd time seeing these guys and every time was fantastic. Love their music and their concerts
Been a few years and Maiden didn't let me down. What a concert - they once again showed why they are the Metal Kings!!!
As always, Maiden was awesome, the set list was different and interesting after hearing similar LOTB set lists three times, and Bruce sounded great. There’s probably a valid argument to be had that if I didn’t want to deal with pushy and inconsiderate pricks - sadly and embarrassingly, most my age (late 40s) and older - then I shouldn’t do General Admission. But it’s an Iron Maiden show , not Slayer. Interestingly though, it wasn’t necessarily the moshers that really bothered me, but rather the angry a-holes who would shoulder check anyone and everyone as they walk by; apparently an “excuse me” was too much to ask. Equally annoying are the people behind you, who watch you almost get bowled over and rather than help you get settled again simply take your place instead. And don’t even get me started on the groups of people (legitimately) in front of you, who allow all their late arriving drunk cabal to push their way to join them (and pushing everyone else back). Rant complete.
This was a once in a life time.They played 5 songs off somewhere in time and 5 songs from Senjisu.5 classic songs like The Trooper.I was lucky to see them in Toronto last year they had played 3 songs off Senjisu.Great band and always fun to see.They have never disappointed me.Been a fan since my first Maiden show back in 1982.🤘
They sounded so good! Tons of energy on stage! Loved to see Eddie! The pyrotechnics were pretty rad!
Best story teller followed by the song that goes with it! F... Awesome!
Although it was a good show, the stage set-up was lacking (no mechanical Eddie) for example and few old hits that would’ve further engaged the audience. Perhaps it’s just me but the reliance on projections at concerts seems to be increasing and less engaging than some old school stage set-ups. Overall a good concert and the band was active and engaging. Appreciated how Bruce diplomatically acknowledged Indigenous Peoples and the land. He’s also a great story-teller and lead.
Iron Maiden is still one of the best heavy metal bands in the world. Yes, in the world! The show because that’s what it was a show and not just a rock concert was fantastic
Absolutely loved the Maiden show, one of my favourite bands all time. In the first few songs tho, I felt like the audio wasn't mixed properly? Lyrics sometimes came off as unintelligible and overshadowed by the high pitch of the guitar. Definitely didn't see this happen at the last concert I went to for Maiden, but the problem seemed to fix itself as the performance went on so I'm happy!
The 12th time I've seen Maiden since 1982. This one was different.. so many of the classics missing. It was an innovative set that showcased everything Maiden.. the musical skills of the guitars, the awesome rhythm of the drums and, most amazingly, Bruce's vocals were, to my mind, the best they've been in recent memory. I would call out Death of the Celts as my highlight of the set and hope it makes it back again.
Was very disappointed that Iron Maiden didn't play more of their classics songs like "Aces High", "Number of the Beast", "Run To The Hills"etc There should have e been a 70 to 30 split where 30% is from the new album and the 70% is all the hits they had in the past. Saw them in 1984 and found the show more entertaining then. The staff at Roger's Arena was very professional and friendly. Great venue
Fantastic showmanship! Extremely entertaining with awesome sound. You've still got it Iron Maiden!! 🤘
Amazing concert, these guys still rocking and playing a lot, what energy!!!. The only down side is they did not played Powerslave.
Great show overall And IRON MAIDEN KILLED IT! Completely happy and blessed to see them live in concert
Having seen Iron Maiden over the years now for like 30+ times, they just never disappoint. The show, the music & the fun they have playing together just exudes from the band to the audience. This time they played a song they recorded in 1986, Alexander the Great, but never played live because of the complexities of the song. It was truly amazing to witness them play it. They crushed it, every note, every solo - just flawless. It’s fun to see they truly enjoy playing with each other after all the years they have been doing it - no mailing it in, no hired guns, no backing tracks - it was so fun to witness it.
The best first time going to a concert, I’m glad I picked iron maiden
The band sounded good, however I could not see any of the visuals and the backdrops throughout the show. Side stage is the absolute worst spot to sit at an Iron Maiden show, disappointing.
Best show ever, the first song was so good I’m gonna need therapy
Good concert, good organization, beer little expensive but in general no complaints
