Eddie's bandages touched my head! What a memory. Can't wait for the Garden I will be there with my concert jersey! WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER! 725132@blogcritics.org Mon, 9 Jun 2008 17:26:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-724901 Wife and I got to see the June 2, 2008 show in Seattle at the White River Ampitheatre. I was a huge Maiden fan in high school in the early 80's, still love the music from that era, and was very excited to find out that the setlist centered around the songs from that time. I got to see them on the Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind and Powerslave tours way back when. They have not changed a bit, at least until the jumbotron shows close-ups, haha. Maiden STILL puts on the best live show I've ever seen, hands down. Amazing band. 724901@blogcritics.org Mon, 9 Jun 2008 01:37:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-724586 I saw Iron Maiden on 6/02/08 They were justas good , if not better then when I saw them 18 years ago...EDDIE RULES!!!! 724586@blogcritics.org Sun, 8 Jun 2008 03:01:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-712931 I saw Maiden at the Sheppards Bush Empire in London (2001?) doing a low key, no theatrics warm up gig for the Brave New World tour...the stack of amps at the back of the stage put out so much sound it shock your innards - no joke, I felt sick for days - was awesome... 712931@blogcritics.org Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:36:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-709459 I had the fortunate experience of seeing them in 1981 when no one, I mean no one knew about them. They were great. There were awesome on the World Piece Tour in 83 as well. I will be seeing them again for the first time in a LONG time next month. I am looking forward to IT!!! 709459@blogcritics.org Wed, 9 Apr 2008 23:38:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-704977 Good news! (well, for me anyway) I'll be seeing Maiden again in June when they play MSG! 704977@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:14:02 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-704976 Great review. My kid brother is a big Maiden fan (I guess I rubbed off on him) and has never been to ANY rock concert in his life, so I'm taking him to the show for his birthday when they hit San Antonio in May. Glad to hear they're still kicking ass. Oughtta be a hell of an experience for his first concert. Jerry, I also saw Maiden on the '03 tour. Now THAT was a lineup. I just wish Motorhead had a longer set. 704976@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:10:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-704139 iron maiden is the best and i am going to the seattle concert 704139@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:00:46 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-703907 I saw Maiden w/Dio and Motorhead back in 2003. One of the best shows ever. Metal or otherwise. Glad to hear you finally got to see them. If they hit Dallas again anytime soon, I'll be in attendance for sure. 703907@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:25:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-703338 Knew I forgot something!! Yes, 'Somewhere in Time' cyborg Eddie made an appearance during "Iron Maiden." 703338@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:43:45 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-703335 "What else can be said" Did Eddie show up? 703335@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:37:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/17/125537.php#comment-703286 I've seen Maiden 7 times since 1982, and have tickets for the May 31 show in L.A. .... no metal act on stage comes close to an Iron Maiden show, this band is the benchmark for all others!! 703286@blogcritics.org Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:42:31 EDT
