99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1991!
That year PLR welcomed Iron Maiden at New Haven Coliseum. Iron Maiden hit the road for its “No Prayer On The Road” Tour and brought special guest Anthrax with them. They were supporting their eighth studio album, “No Prayer for the Dying,” which featured songs like Bring Your Daughter… to the Slaughter and Holy Smoke.
This was the first tour with guitarist Janick Gers, who replaced Adrian Smith in the band.
Today we revisit Iron Maiden’s 1991 concert in New Haven…
