Bruce jumped onto the second drum kit for a short solo during &apos;Tears of the Dragon&apos;, Swedish guitarist Philip Näslund switched between twelve-string and electric, and the Hårdrockskören choir joined for &apos;Rain on the Graves&apos;, three days after doing the same at Sweden Rock.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: 3Arena, Stockholm, Sweden 2025</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2025-06-13-stockholm-3arena-sweden-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2025-06-13-stockholm-3arena-sweden-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The second of two nights at the 3Arena, and by most accounts the stronger one. The first night drew a little under thirty thousand; this one sold out at around forty thousand. &apos;They were on fire compared to the day before,&apos; wrote one fan who caught three guitar picks at this show alone. The one recurring complaint was the hall itself: bass and drums swallowing the vocals, a mix that fought the band for much of the set.</description><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Olimpiyskiy, Moscow, Russia 2016</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2016-06-25-moscow-russia-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2016-06-25-moscow-russia-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The single Russian date of the Book of Souls tour, at Moscow&apos;s Olimpiyskiy arena.

Halestorm opened. The taper who captured this recording was attending his 28th Maiden show across 33 years and seven countries, and chose this night as a deliberate farewell. He noted monitor problems that caused band members to momentarily lose their place at points during the set, and flagged that Simon Dawson dragged the tempo slightly on some songs while finding his own touches on others. The outdoor screens held up well even in the lingering Scandinavian daylight.</description><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: London Stadium, London, England 2025</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2025-06-28-london-london-stadium-england-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2025-06-28-london-london-stadium-england-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The only stadium show on the UK leg of the Run For Your Lives tour, with a capacity of around 60,000, and 668 setlist.fm users marked themselves as there. Support came from Halestorm and The Raven Age. The night was notably hot. Fans in the front standing area reported the biggest and most enthusiastic mosh pit they had seen at a Maiden gig, kicking off at The Trooper and carrying through to Wasted Years. Steve Harris&apos;s bass reportedly dropped out at the start of The Number of the Beast, though the band powered through. Bruce told the crowd the band would be back. Outside the gig, the traditional pilgrimage to the Cart and Horses and Eddie&apos;s Dive Bar drew a crowd well into the night.</description><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Power Trip Festival, Indio, USA 2023</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-power-trip-festival-2023-10-06-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-power-trip-festival-2023-10-06-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>Maiden opened the three-day Power Trip festival as the first night&apos;s headliner, in desert heat that reached 103 degrees and with the gates opening late. The set was a curveball for a festival crowd, leaning into The Future Past material, and the production sent a cyborg Eddie out for a gun duel with Dickinson. Months later Bruce called the night a slightly strange experience: the priciest front rows filmed on phones while, as he saw it, the real fans stood at the back.</description><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Olympiahalle, Munich, Germany 1983</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1983-11-30-munich-olympiahalle-germany-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1983-11-30-munich-olympiahalle-germany-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>A complete stereo soundboard of this night surfaced publicly only in late 2024, after sitting hidden for 41 years; collectors greeted it as the first soundboard bootleg ever available from the Piece of Mind era. The chain of custody is part of the story: a cassette taped at the desk by &apos;D Hall&apos; reached a collector through a former member of the Killer Crew and was transferred to digital. The tape runs just over ninety minutes; &apos;The Number of the Beast&apos; fades in mid-song and &apos;Drifter&apos; is cut at the end, a song the Zodiac insert notes was added specially to that night&apos;s encore. With no documented radio or TV broadcast of this date, the crew-side cassette stands as the sole known source.</description><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Papp László Sportaréna, Budapest, Hungary 2025</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2025-05-28-papp-laszlo-sportarena-budapest-hungary-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2025-05-28-papp-laszlo-sportarena-budapest-hungary-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>Night two of the Run For Your Lives World Tour, the second of two consecutive nights at the Papp Laszlo Sportarena. Halestorm opened both evenings. Attendees noted the Hungarian crowd was less vocal than expected for a Maiden show, and some felt the grand stadium-scale production created a more distant atmosphere than the intimate energy of the Future Past tour. Simon Dawson, making his first appearances as touring drummer, received multiple introductions from Bruce and drew sustained applause. Adrian Smith had equipment issues on the opening night (May 27), with his tech having a difficult time; the second night ran more smoothly.</description><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Vélez Sarsfield, Buenos Aires, Argentina 2009</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2009-03-28-buenos-aires-velez-sarsfield-argentina-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2009-03-28-buenos-aires-velez-sarsfield-argentina-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>The headline night of Quilmes Rock 2009, moved from River Plate to Vélez Sarsfield to clear the Monumental for an Argentina football match, with the original tickets staying valid. Forty-two thousand came; O&apos;Connor, Horcas, Lauren Harris and Sepultura played before Maiden, and fragments of the still-unreleased Flight 666 ran on the screens before &apos;Aces High&apos;. The British flag in &apos;The Trooper&apos; drew the customary whistles, and Bruce promised the crowd a return in 2011.</description><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Fila Forum, Milan, Italy 2003</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-10-27-milan-fila-forum-italy-2-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-10-27-milan-fila-forum-italy-2-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>A packed FilaForum di Assago, with the Italian reviewers in the hall counting somewhere between twelve and fourteen thousand, and Gamma Ray opening; only two entry gates were open, so part of the crowd queued through the openers&apos; set. Before &apos;Paschendale&apos; Bruce recited Wilfred Owen&apos;s &apos;Anthem for Doomed Youth&apos;, and from the stage he thanked the Italian crowd for sending Dance of Death to number one on the national chart. Ross Halfin worked the stage and closed the night with a group photo of the band against the crowd, and the PA played &apos;Always Look on the Bright Side of Life&apos; as the lights came up.</description><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Rock Am Ring, Nurburgring, Germany 2005</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2005-06-04-nurburgring-rock-am-ring-germany-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2005-06-04-nurburgring-rock-am-ring-germany-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>A headline slot at Rock am Ring 2005, in front of a weekend crowd of seventy thousand.

Lauren Harris, Steve&apos;s daughter, opened the evening, covering UFO&apos;s &apos;Natural Thing&apos; in her set; a fan blog from the week after places Bruce in strong voice that night.</description><pubDate>Sat, 11 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Teatro Tenda di Lampugnano, Milan, Italy 1984</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1984-12-11-milan-theatro-tenda-italy-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1984-12-11-milan-theatro-tenda-italy-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The second and final Italian date of the World Slavery Tour&apos;s European run, one night after Bologna, with Mötley Crüe opening; the Crüe set from this night circulates among collectors as well. Iron Maiden&apos;s set followed the standard 1984 running order, Churchill&apos;s Speech into &apos;Aces High&apos; through to &apos;Sanctuary&apos;. A note for collectors: sleeves and old catalogue entries carry the date 1984-12-11, but the show took place on 12 November 1984, the European day-month order transposed somewhere along the chain.

At least one circulating release is a hybrid that patches the missing Ipswich songs with recordings from Chicago, 30 September 1983.

Where the 2001 night fought the sound, this one ran clean, and the encore brought &apos;Journeyman&apos; as a fully acoustic ballad, briefly interrupted by a fan who made the stage and lasted two seconds before security collected him.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Pista Atlética, Estadio Nacional, Santiago, Chile 2001</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2001-01-15-santiago-estadio-chile-chile-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2001-01-15-santiago-estadio-chile-chile-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>Bruce&apos;s Santiago debut after rejoining the band, on the Brave New World tour&apos;s South American run, with Rob Halford opening. The night fought its gremlins: the lighting failed on the first walk-on and the opening had to be redone, and the sound took a long while to settle. During &apos;The Trooper&apos; Bruce wore the Chilean flag as a cape, and the encore brought &apos;Run to the Hills&apos; as a surprise played nowhere else on the South American leg. A note for collectors: bootleg sleeves often say Estadio Chile, but the show took place at the Pista Atlética del Estadio Nacional.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Paleur, Rome, Italy 1990</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1990-11-20-rome-paleur-italy-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1990-11-20-rome-paleur-italy-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>Anthrax opened this Rome night of No Prayer on the Road.

Poland would then wait nine years for the band to return.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Hala Ludowa, Wrocław, Poland 1984</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1984-08-12-wroclaw-folks-hall-poland-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1984-08-12-wroclaw-folks-hall-poland-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>Maiden&apos;s first run behind the Iron Curtain reached Wrocław in August 1984. The Hala Ludowa was bursting at the seams, a few thousand people never made it through the doors, and the mood outside was not helped by the heavy presence of the Citizens&apos; Militia and their methods: batons, searches, personal belongings destroyed. &apos;We expected Martians to land on the Pergola sooner than Iron Maiden coming to us,&apos; recalled Maciej Głowacki, twelve years old that night, who has since seen the band live more than 150 times.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Palatrussardi, Milan, Italy 1986</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1986-12-16-milan-palatrussardi-italy-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1986-12-16-milan-palatrussardi-italy-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The hall was barely three months old: the Palatrussardi opened on 26 September 1986, and Maiden played it this night with W.A.S.P. supporting the December leg of Somewhere on Tour. The set still carried &apos;Sea of Madness&apos; and closed with &apos;Sanctuary&apos;, late survivors of the year&apos;s setlist.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Silesia Stadium, Chorzow, Poland 2005</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2005-05-29-chorzow-silesia-stadium-poland-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2005-05-29-chorzow-silesia-stadium-poland-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>The fifth Mystic Festival packed Silesia Stadium with around thirty thousand people in heat past thirty degrees. Security hosed the crowd with water, the water flooded stage cables and the first songs came out rough. Maiden closed a seven-band day (DragonForce, Frontside, Primal Fear, Behemoth, Kreator and Nightwish before them) with an early-albums set on the second night of the Eddie Rips Up tour, and Bruce kept greeting the crowd with &apos;Scream for me Katowice!&apos;, a few kilometres wide of the mark.</description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam, Netherlands 2023</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2023-07-11-amsterdam-ziggo-dome-netherlands-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2023-07-11-amsterdam-ziggo-dome-netherlands-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>One sold-out night at the Ziggo Dome, around seventeen thousand in. The Dutch press latched onto one moment above all: &apos;Alexander the Great&apos;, played on Dutch soil for the first time since its release thirty-seven years earlier. Reviewers also noted Bruce, nearly sixty-five, covering more of the stage than the year before, when hip surgery had still been visible in his movement.</description><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Spodek, Katowice, Poland 1998</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1998-09-12-katowice-spodek-poland-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1998-09-12-katowice-spodek-poland-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>Maiden&apos;s first night ever at Spodek, on the Virtual XI tour. The doors opened twenty-five minutes late to an impatient crowd, the Polish support act played fifteen minutes without giving their name, and the band then ran for over two hours nearly without pause. An inflatable Eddie rose during &apos;Iron Maiden&apos;, and a contemporary reviewer noted Blaze Bayley finally moving around the stage, a different presence than on the 1995 visit.</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Molson Centre, Montreal, Canada 1999</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1999-07-13-montreal-canada-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-1999-07-13-montreal-canada-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The third night of the Ed Hunter reunion tour, with Bruce and Adrian freshly back and the three-guitar line-up making its Montreal debut at the Molson Centre. Quebec&apos;s own Voivod opened at home, and the set, drawn from the Ed Hunter compilation, included &apos;Stranger in a Strange Land&apos;, played at only a handful of shows on the whole tour.</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Torwar Sports Hall, Warsaw, Poland 2000</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2000-06-21-warsaw-torwar-sports-hall-poland-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2000-06-21-warsaw-torwar-sports-hall-poland-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>The second of two Polish dates on the Brave New World tour, the band&apos;s first Polish run with Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith back in the fold. Around five thousand people filled an air-conditioned Torwar, a relief after a summer running hot since April, while plenty of fans were still baking outside the doors at start time. The Polish support Dirty Deeds stretched to ninety minutes before Maiden came on around half past nine, and Bruce ended up climbing the stage scaffolding to wave from the top.</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Spodek, Katowice, Poland 2003</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-06-03-katowice-spodek-poland-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-06-03-katowice-spodek-poland-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>Spodek sold out three weeks ahead, nearly nine thousand tickets gone, on the greatest-hits Give Me Ed... &apos;Til I&apos;m Dead tour. Security hosed the overheating floor with water, English seventies rockers Stray opened to chants of &apos;Maiden! Maiden!&apos;, and the night&apos;s most remembered moment came when Bruce prefaced &apos;Wildest Dreams&apos; with a nod to Polish history that one reviewer called the most beautiful moment of the evening.</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Olympic Stadium, Stockholm, Sweden 2003</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-06-28-stockholm-olympic-stadium-sweden-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-06-28-stockholm-olympic-stadium-sweden-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>A summer Saturday at the Olympic Stadium on the Give Me Ed... &apos;Til I&apos;m Dead tour, with Murderdolls opening. Swedish national radio P3 taped the night for broadcast, and the airing planned for 11 September 2003 was pulled when foreign minister Anna Lindh was murdered; the tape finally went out a week later. That P3 recording is the backbone of the FM bootlegs of this show in circulation.</description><pubDate>Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Hala Ludowa, Wrocław, Poland 2003</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-11-28-wroclaw-hala-ludowa-poland-audio-bootlegs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2003-11-28-wroclaw-hala-ludowa-poland-audio-bootlegs/</guid><description>The rescheduled fourth Mystic Festival: the original 7 November date fell to Bruce&apos;s illness, and the make-up show came three weeks later in the same Hala Ludowa the band had first played in 1984. The gates opened two and a half hours late into a packed, stifling hall. Frontside, KAT and Funeral For A Friend opened, the last of them a stand-in for Edguy, who could not make the new date.</description><pubDate>Wed, 19 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Arena Stozice, Ljubljana, Slovenia 2023</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2023-05-28-ljubljana-arena-stozice-slovenia-dvd-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2023-05-28-ljubljana-arena-stozice-slovenia-dvd-bootleg/</guid><description>The opening night of The Future Past World Tour, and a night for the history books: &apos;Alexander the Great&apos; got its first live performance ever, alongside the live debuts of four Senjutsu epics, with &apos;Caught Somewhere in Time&apos; opening a set for the first time since the eighties.

This was an open-air festival set, with no dedicated support act on the slot. The 298 setlist.fm users who logged attendance make this the most-attended of the five 2023 European shows in this collection. The set ran the standard Future Past Tour programme, clocking 114 minutes including the brief Monty Python outro cut off at the end.</description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Added to the archive: Koengen, Bergen, Norway 2023</title><link>https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2023-06-07-bergen-koengen-norway-audio-bootleg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ironmaidenbootlegs.com/iron-maiden-2023-06-07-bergen-koengen-norway-audio-bootleg/</guid><description>An outdoor show at the Koengen amphitheatre in central Bergen, capacity around 23,500.
