[_Wes]

Very cool - I saw Maiden in Chicago a couple years ago with Dio - great show.

This should rock!

I'm going to start sacrificing kittens each morning before breakfast until those Georgia/Florida rumors come true

we can email bruce with pictures of the cats, "YOU COULD SAVE THESE CATS LIVES BRUCE"

im not sure if i could actually go through with killing the cats but if they still didnt come we could always just lie and say we killed over 4000 cats cause maiden didnt play a SE show!

the venue dont have listing of the shows either.

Yeah...where was that original post from?

[Bullet For My Valentine]

Yeah...where was that original post from?

I read a post in the IMFC forum saying that these dates were originally posted in Wikipedia but deleted after a while.

Aw crap. I should be in full-swing as an intern by then. That's the middle of the week and unlikely I'll be able to go.

Is zat you, Jon? Bullshit! Get your ass out there tomorrow night, brother!

 

[rockyracoon]

Will be there tonight for sure.

 

[KingsGene]

Me too... in the back, up in the balcony. Up the Irons!

 

[Jasonic]

I will be there...
I am in the 100s (Forgot exactly which section, fan club seats)

 

[kittybeast]

ohh I want to be there to relive it all again!! I know you all will enjoy it, ROTAM 'nuff said

 

[rockyracoon]

Maiden put on a phenomenal show! Performances like that really, IMO, put an extremely large magnifying glass on so many of the other "alleged" big-time metal bands these days. Can someone please explain to me how Bruce, at his age, somehow only seems to get better with age while most everyone else just fades away?

 

[DoomsdayZach]

ROTAM 'nuff said

That was one of the single best songs i've ever seen performed live. Hands down. They did a phenomenal job with that one.

 

[Diabolik]

incredible show.......not a dull spot in it. stage show was also fantastic...love that devil in "The Number of the Beast"...it looked so real.

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

I had a fucking blast except for the assholes behind us who were pushing us up against the barrier to the point where Bruce asked the crowd to step back some, they didn't.

What a great fucking night. Maiden delivers again. The crowd was great and the set was killer. The best metal band ever.

I was thinking about this last night as well.
Ozzy and Halford these days simply do not compare.

Bruce hit EVERY note spot on, and sang EVERY melody during the instrumental lines of each song (Something that many vocalists ignore live to save their voice)

And the crowd!!! HOLY SH*T!
The loudest I ever heard in an area.
You could tell Bruce was humbled a few times as he stopped talking (Which is RARE) to soak it all in.

UP THE IRONS!
