Cant remember, but think Ed Hunter in 99 was special deal (before FC priority days)...........and I scored mine at 1 or 2 am, off computer. Was a bit of hassle. 35 bucks a pop.
Sold out of shirt I wanted, so didn't buy any. Left more money for beer.
I really like the UFO song before the show...........sets the mood perfectly. Plus the Monty Python at the end. Traffic sucks, might as well hang back and sing along.
Paul DiAnno is done. Do not look up recent videos..............beyond pathetic. This the last thing he did that gave a hint of who he used to be. Crappy video too, so posted just the one of song. Dude fugged up big time.
Love maiden to death..he he.. first show was 1988, last was Book of souls.
BUT! I really wish they would ditch all the old standards...i never need to hear NoB, Iron Maiden, running free, hallowed, trooper, hills, etc etc live again.
The catalog is cast and good, but underplayed to a nostalgic crowd.
How about:
Prowler Drifter Stranger in a strange land Alexander the Great (only in a dream) Sanctuary Purgatory Killers Brighter than 1000suns Montseguer Starblind(!) Out of the silent planet Phantom of the opera Dream of Mirrors The great unknown. Paschendale
And maybe some Bruce solo stuff for encores:
Tyranny of souls Chemical wedding The road to hell
So pissed I missed it last night. Wound up filling in on a charter and didn’t get back til late last night. Gave the tix to my older boy (stepson), who told me he “didn’t get why they are so great, they didn’t even have backup dancers.” Fugging stupid kids. I thought I had done a better job teaching him right from wrong, but I guess he’s still a tard. I could have actually even run into Flave if I had gone. Damn.
When my son was growing up he did what alot of kids do now, (or at least what I let him do),figure out what type(s) of music they like for themselves. He grew up around hearing alot of what I like and liked alot of it but I never played a whole lot of heavy metal or hard rock around him just some here and there. He went to start working and living on his own and a couple of years later came home for a visit and wanted to really go through my record collection so he did and was really excited when he found my Maiden records. Guess he never thought I was "cool" like that. Long story short, he's seen them a couple of times now and when we get together we talk rock and heavy metal among other things. He's a metal head Iron Maiden fan and also a combat medic in the US Army. Great young man and I'm glad he has good taste in rock.
BTW, I absolutely fuggin detest the Maiden song "Run to the Hills". Thats my official get super honked off, go piss and get beer time at a concert. Fuggin HATE HATE HATE that song.
My azzhole buddies will leave me VMs with that damn thing. Bastards.
Agree!!!!!
I HATE that fughin song with a passsion!

There sure are a lot of America haters that want to live here...
they still have that guy on stilts in that skull suit? i saw them in the early 80's with megadeth and had never heard of them. can't say as i remember much but i'm pretty sure it didn't suck.
I'm a country red neck that lived through the 80's and 90's honkey tonks with Alan Jackson, Clint Black, George Strait, Reba and Patty Loveless but I do listen to some metal. Metallica has some good stuff, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Godsmack, and on the lighter hair metal platform, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Ratt, etc.
I liked Bruces " silver wings".....the intro is classic metal scream of guitar. Fuggin chit makes me go silly. Liked most of " Accident of Birth" album too.
