Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death (Live at the Westfalenhalle Arena, Dortmund, Germany, 2003)

Album: Dance Of Death Year: 20032 Follow us on X: @GxaxRock Iron Maiden performed a memorable concert on November 24, 2003, at the Westfalenhalle Arena as part of their Dance of Death World Tour. This tour supported their 2003 studio album Dance of Death, and the show was notable for its elaborate stage production, including a medieval castle setup with Grim Reaper statues, towers, and a twelve-point star floor design inspired by the album artwork. The performance featured theatrical elements, such as Bruce Dickinson starting "Dance of Death" from a throne in a cape and Venetian masks. "Dance of Death" is the thirteenth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released first in Japan on 2 September and then 8 September 2003 in the rest of the world excluding North America (where it was released a day later). The album was an analogue recording. It is the second studio release since the return of vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999. The band undertook the Dance of Death World Tour in support of the album, which included many theatrical elements inspired by the record's songs. During "Dance of Death", Bruce Dickinson would wear theatrical masks and a cape while moving around the stage; at the end he would dress as the Grim Reaper for the final chorus. The album reached number 2 on the UK charts, and number 18 on the US Billboard 200 list. All rights belong to their respective owners.
