Signed Setlist Helloween and Iron Maiden – Virtual XI World Tour Florence 1998 – 10 Original Autographs – COA Included

The autographed setlist of Helloween and Iron Maiden: a unique document from the Virtual XI World Tour 1998 in Florence

A relic of absolute rarity and exceptional historical value in music collecting: the original official setlist, taken directly from the backstage of the 1998 Florence concert, prepared by Helloween for their opening act for Iron Maiden during the Virtual XI World Tour. The document lists the eight songs from Helloween's set — Eagle Fly Free, Dr. Stein, Revelation, Push, I Can, The Time of the Oath, Power, How Many Tears — and bears the felt-tip pen signatures of all five members of Helloween and all five members of Iron Maiden present on that tour, totaling ten original autographs on a single sheet. The 30×22 cm format conveys the intensity of a document that traveled directly from backstage into history. Excellent condition, impeccably preserved despite almost thirty years having passed since that night.

The protagonists: Helloween and Iron Maiden

Helloween is the German band from Hamburg that founded European power metal, authors of absolute masterpieces of the genre such as Keeper of the Seven Keys and Time of the Oath. Their set in Florence in 1998 featured Andy Deris on vocals, Michael Weikath and Roland Grapow on guitars, Markus Grosskopf on bass, and Uli Kusch on drums. Iron Maiden is the biggest heavy metal band in world music history, with over 100 million records sold. On that tour, the vocalist was Blaze Bayley, joined by historical mainstays Steve Harris on bass, Dave Murray and Janick Gers on guitars, and Nicko McBrain on drums. Two legends of world heavy metal on the same stage, on one of the few occasions their histories intersected — and this setlist is the unique and unrepeatable document of that event.

What is an original autographed concert setlist?

An original autographed concert setlist is one of the rarest and most sought-after relics in music collecting: it is the actual working document used on stage or backstage during a show, subsequently signed by the musicians. Unlike photographs or record supports, a setlist is an item that exists in a single copy for each concert, irreplaceable and non-reproducible. The presence of ten autographs from two of the most iconic heavy metal bands in the world on a single document — collected on the same evening in Florence in 1998 — makes this piece an absolute unique item in the international collecting market. The MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and the COA included guarantee maximum protection for the collector.
