Been a Maiden fan since they began. Was rough spell during the Blaze years. Kid got me a signed copy of Bruce's book for Xmas.
She is a super fan (wonder why?)
Hopefully not too hot. Outdoors, much of the lighting effects get lost. Have been avoiding the YT vids of this tour............don't want to be completely spoiled.
Like on the first BoS tour, did not know they'd play Children of the Damned. That was VERY cool.
That show was scalper.........paid 350 a ticket, was my Xmas or BD present that year (I would not have paid that much- kid did...........but I paid her back). Gesture was sweet enough.
Anyway...............that show, opener was Harris's kids band. Yawn. The Maiden show however, was fantastic.
Worth the 4 hr drive one way and ticket cost.
The following year we saw em at an outdoor venue, Ghost opened (kid liked em) and the Maiden show's sound was off, the venue sucked angle wise for viewing and it was a credit card deal............we only paid about 150 a ticket. Farther back but not bad (compared to prev show).
I thought it sucked.
Eh, I think I paid 35 bucks and was front row in 99 at small venue. That was friggin awesome.
Got tix for next month's show. Kid and I went to both Book of Souls tours.
Trooper Ale is pretty good chit too.
I took my oldest daughter. She seemed a bit apprehensive but then they opened with Aces High and had a life size Spitfire with spinning prop over the stage.
She was like "Holy crap!"
It only got better from there.

I saw them years ago in San Jose on the Somewhere In Time tour. Openers were Tesla and Y&T I think 🤔. Things were a bit fuzzy back then ... I have seen them a lot. The good old days.
I was a fan way back in HS, but never had any money to travel to see em. Think if I had seen the '85 World Slavery Tour and Type O Negatives "October Rust" show I could die a happy man.
'99 show was hot as hell, indoors (100 outside, maybe hotter).........and on the way home my truck had carb issues.........so I pulled over and ripped it open..............Gary Indiana. Had my 629 laying on top of the air breather cover.
Think that big Blazer was a neon rebel flag..............nobody was around LOL
