Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden brought their “The Future Past” world tour to Brooklyn on Saturday at Barclays Center. The name of their tour is literal, as it has them focusing on both 2021’s Senjutsu and their classic 1986 album Somewhere In Time; they played five songs from each, along with a few other classics from throughout their discography. Of course this being a Maiden show, there was no shortage of pyro or theatricality as Bruce Dickinson, still in top vocal form and running around the stage like someone half his age, fought the terminator-style version of mascot Eddie from Somewhere in Time‘s cover art during “Heaven Can Wait” in an explosive sci-fi gun battle.
Iron Maiden’s encore included Senjutsu‘s “Hell on Earth” and Piece of Mind‘s “The Trooper” before they wrapped things up with Somewhere in Time‘s “Wasted Years.”
Mongolian band The Hu opened (we didn’t catch them unfortunately) but you can check out photos of Iron Maiden’s set by Mathieu Bredeau, along with fan-shot video and the Barclays setlist, below.
