Iron Maiden performs ‘Aces High’ at Darien Lake - VIDEO

by Ben Kirst • July 17, 2012 @ 10:37am

Say this about Iron Maiden -- these guys know how to put on a stage show. Pyrotechnics, massive collages, shifting light displays -- Iron Maiden's performance on Monday at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center was a throwback to the massive, excessive heavy metal stages shows from days of yore. In this video, the band opens its first encore with a performance of "Aces High," a homage to the RAF fighter pilots of World War II. Good stuff.
