Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Iron Maiden

Lord knows I hate foreigners but these old bastards still put on an incredible concert.

If you have a chance to see them, I would do so.

Incredible show for all ages.

They're still rockin!

Got tix for next month's show.
Kid and I went to both Book of Souls tours.

Trooper Ale is pretty good chit too.

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.

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.

Best heavy metal band there is. Saw them on Book Of Souls but there not coming anywhere near Utah this tour. Been listening to them since I was 12.

Trooper Ale is very good.

I agree that they're #1.

They were selling it there. I had a few.

T-shirts were $50 of course. You only live once...

I wore my 2003 Maiden shirt to the Official Book of Souls 2 Pre Show party.
Got a few stares.

The 2003 show was also in Chicago.

That one, Visions of the Beast......

openers were Motorhead, and Ronnie James Dio.

DAMN!

The Brave New World tour was pretty impressive, the old sound, the big stage.
That was 2000.

Way different than the small deal the yr before when Bruce came back.

But both Maiden.

Good times.

Yeah, row 16. Not bad. Think 65 bucks. Not so close as to cripple your neck trying to watch everything.

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

I saw them on that tour but can’t remember who opened. Again fuzzy...

Brave New World was in Milwaukee....

openers were Queensryche (no DeGarmo) and Halford.

Monster Magnet opened for Ed Hunter tour in Chicago.
They were fun.

Are you from the Chicago area?

SAw them and 38 special early 80's Jackson ,MS.- Maiden had a guy in the band who was 26 feet tall -- true !!!

YT is fast

2016 BoS tour Bruce sounded OK but was more higher range.
His voice had come back for 2017, had regained the depth.

2016 was damn good, but you knew he had lost some.
Happy to have it all back for 2017, just sucked the venue/setup was not at top level.

World Slavery Tour

Saw them twice in 85'

Cow Palace, Twisted Sister Opened.

Cal Expo, WASP opened.

Whew did a LOT of partying that year.
