Iron Maiden in Philly (well, in Camden, NJ, which is pretty much a suburb of Philly). This was the same show as earlier this year in the Meadowlands, and they were just as sharp. These guys must have found a youth potion somewhere. Dickinson is still one of the best vocalists out there, and the rest of the band is smooth and polished. It was a great show.
Also great to see are the number of young folk there. Many many teenagers, and at least 5 or 10 very little kids (younger than 8). This arena has a lawn area, and I saw one family of 3, mom, dad, and son, approx age 6, camped out for the show. Awesome.
Guitar Hero / Rock Band has something to do with it, I bet. 'Run to the Hills' got a huge applause at the start. I know that one's on Rock Band. Hey, anything that keeps metal going is a good thing to me.
