Amazing show, the first time I’ve seen Maiden live. Alice Cooper opened and he put on a really good performance. Maiden played for almost 2 hours nonstop. Song after song, it was incredible seeing them keep up that level of intensity. They played almost every track off of Seventh son of a seventh son, along with a mix of some classics. (Number of the Beast, Aces High) It was ridiculously hot in the venue and everyone was drenched in sweat…it was totally worth it.
The tickets were a birthday present from my awesome wife. We were in the 17th row. (I think I tweeted 23rd row but I miscounted…the rows were labelled with the alphabet not numbers) Great seats, had a very good view of the stage. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
The AVGN was at the concert as well but I didn’t see him while I was there. Kind of hard to find one guy in well over 13,000 people.
I’m not the biggest Maiden fan, but holy shit, that sounds awesome. Your wife rules.
It was a great show. Just one of those magic nights where even though it was incredibly hot, everyone still had an incredible time. I didn’t see any fights and for the first time in, well, ever…I didn’t even smell someone smoking weed. I was astonished. A perfect night.
Yep, I picked a winner. 🙂
I’ve seen Iron Maiden 4 times, every time a good show,
