Just left Kumas after Trooper Ale and an Iron Maiden burger. Arcade bar to play Maiden pinball and then head over to the show
Update:
We were maybe 30 yards from the stage.
Close enough to feel the heat or some pyro at times.
Murray more animated than I've ever seen. Bruce was a swashbuckler. Harris a friggin locomotive.
The band had fun, high energy through the end.
Entertaining show, w a few cool little surprises.
Was not just a rehash of old tunes.
But this was my 7th time w Maiden and I must confess, proly my last.
Neat, but not for the price.
Back issues, thought about skipping it, but woke up in better shape than last two days.
Stood the whole time, decent view.
But by half way pain was enough of a detraction.
Cool temp, so was comfy in that regard.
Kid had a blast so was worth it just for that.
Loud, had earplugs.
Maybe less direct if more center in lower pavillion. We off to the side some.
Must say Deer Creek (I still call it that) was way nicer than Chicago's Hollywood Casino amp.
That place sucks azz and I won't see another show there.
Think Maiden played there this go around.
Much better overall at Ruoff (formerly Deer Creek).
I forgot to take my pocket knife off, was long walk back to car. Ditched it in leaves before going in.
Was there when we left
Didn't whoop it up, pretty low key.
Getting too old for it I guess.
