Five years had passed since Iron Maiden slayed a Dallas stage, but the six-piece British metal band proved why it's considered a legend of heavy metal when it took the stage at American Airlines Center in late June. Jamming in front of a Mayan ruins backdrop, the band played a 15-song set filled with classics such as "Wrathchild," Children of the Damned" and "Fear of the Dark," along with new songs from its 16th studio album, The Book of Souls. Frontman Bruce Dickinson performed to a sold-out crowd with "his characteristic intensity, vigor and showmanship," as our reviewer said in the June review, proving that even a cancer couldn't keep this legendary frontman down.
