OH FUCK ME!!!!!!!! This fat, old beotch is hit in the grill today. What a FANTASTIC show! The band took like 2 songs to get their shit together. Dickenson was running in back to hit the oxygen tank whenever he could through the whole show because of the energy he was putting out in the heat. OH FUCK ME!!! Those old bastards still have it.
I already have a screwed up neck and ummmmmmmmmmmm...the little bit of headbanging that one does at a Maiden show really has me jacked todays. I have no voice. The energy was outrageous.
I did not expect 20,000 people to come to an Iron Maiden show in this day and age. That place was to capacity under the pavillion and the lawn was nearly completely wall to wall people. Only the very fringes were left with only smattering of people. It was the first time in decades that I saw nearly ALL, YES ALL, of the crowd with shirts on with the band they were seeing on them. Maiden shirts EVERYWHERE you looked. Some vintage, some newer, some bought before the show but everyone wearing them. Amazing.
These bastards played Revelations and the like 17 minutes long Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. Now I might have been high when I saw that tour in the 80s and don't remember but I've NEVER seen that song live to my memory. Not in the 7 or so times I've seen them. It was fantastic.
Oh, and another first for me was having the larger then life Eddie, aka Ed Hunter looking like this:
The entire show was old Maiden. Unbenounced to me this was the tour poster and name.
and this:
I really should pay more attention when buying tickets but I really just said, "Hey! Fucking Maiden IS coming close by when they said they weren't. I'll get tickets right now."
Actually I'm going to go to ticket master right fucking now, you know, before work and those kinds of things, and see if they will be in Pittsburg or something. Fantastic.
