Throwback Thursday Photo Gallery: Iron Maiden @ Le Club, Montreal 1981

ufj2bjyIn the inaugural edition of Metal Assault’s ‘Throwback Thursday’ feature, we look back at some classic live photos from Iron Maiden’s Paul Di’Anno era, or the ‘Jurassic Period’ as Bruce Dickinson fondly referred to it on stage once.
