Just got back from seeing Maiden. I give the show This was one of their nostalgia tours (they keep alternating nostalgia and new-material tours), so all but two songs were from '88 or before (the two exceptions were both from '92). Probably about 13,000+ people in the audience, all going bonkers. Not bad! An outdoor show, and the temperature close to 100F both at 7 and 11 pm. Anyway, they've still got it. 100% And no tube socks or spandex anywhere in sight! Ivan |

I had planned to catch the first date in Charlotte, but tickets went fast, and the only seats left were way too pricey. Glad they still got it though! Bummed I missed this, but stoked that I'm at least seeing Slayer and Motorhead in a couple weeks!! |

Well, I didn't expect to see Iron Maiden being discussed on here. Maiden and Randy Rhoads were the main forces behind my taking up the guitar in my denim clad teenage years. For a long time, Live After Death was my benchmark, and my template for what a rock concert should be like. Now that I've admitted that, I'll have to get my finger out and get it finished and recorded. For all those that appreciate Adrian's guitar work, have any of you heard his first solo album? It's more pop orientated, with more obvious keyboard work, but there's some excellent work on there. |

Hey Ivan, I can appreciate talent & musicianship & all that...the main thing for me are songs. I've never liked any of the Iron Maiden tunes I've heard. From my subjective view, you write better songs than Maiden. So there. Radio Free Bakersfield--60 Minutes of TWANG, CRUNCH, OOMPH. |

Just got back from the Bay Area Maiden show (at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View), with 12,500 people there! The contrast with the Philly show from five weeks ago was mainly in the temperatures: 100F in Philly, 60F in Mountain View - a 40F difference!!!! Unbelievable. We were about to collapse from heat stroke five weeks ago, and tonight at no point came even close to breaking a sweat - in fact, we needed jackets. We were further away this time, so didn't feel quite as connected to the show. But the boys sounded tighter this time around. They've been touring for a month and a half, whereas they were just at the beginning of the tour when they played Philly. Bruce's voice was astonishing. He's hitting notes today at 55 years of age that he couldn't do live 30 years ago. This is not normal. I've never ever seen that happen. WTF? Who does that? HOW does he do it? He was hitting the highs in Run To the Hills that he always struggled with before. Anyway, a few highlights of the show: an incredible version of Seventh Son of the Seventh Son, total goose bumps, followed by The Clairvoyant, and then a near-perfect encore of Aces High, The Evil That Men Do, and Running Free, the last one just so freakin' fantastic..... I bow down to my rock gods!! They were nearly perfect tonight. One other difference with the Philly show (or Detroit shows I saw in the past) - the smell of pot was constant tonight. No break from it. Welcome to California! (God, I hate the smell of pot...) Bruce also bitched up the storm about the venue, which was so old that they couldn't get some parts of their set into it, so we didn't get the full show that we did in Philly - one Eddie was AWOL! And the place had no screens showing the action on stage. Unbelievable. They're across the street from Google, but in the previous century technologically.... Coheed and Cambria opened and were underwhelming - except for a very faithful cover of Black Sabbath's Heaven and hell, which was rapturously received by the audience! Next up: Frankie & the Pool Boys, Los Venturas and El Ray on Sunday at Forbidden Island! More rock gods in flesh! Whoo-whooo!!! —Ivan Last edited: Aug 04, 2012 10:35:13 |

I thought you didn't like "Running Free." That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |
It was truly an epic instance of collective sweating! Bruce's shirt was utterly soaked by the end, but the rest of us were not much better off.
Go see 'em, if you can!!!
Friday, August 3rd, then followed on Sunday, August 5th by Frankie & the Pool Boys and El Ray at the Forbidden Island in Alameda! Now, THAT's what I call a good weekend of music!
