Anybody else at Twickenham last night to see Iron Maiden. It was the first time i had ever seen them and they were fantastic.

gillywibble · 06-07-2008, 10:47

I saw them for the first time in 1983

postmanpat · 06-07-2008, 10:48

Saw them 20 years ago at whitley bay

But yes they have allways put on one of the best live shows

Lasse25 · 06-07-2008, 10:55

My first time will be at 19th July in Tampere, Finland. I think i´s going to be very amazing night. I´m going there with few of my friends.

jonathan · 06-07-2008, 11:24

I think i am just slow to realise there greatness.
Going to see Meatloaf next weekend.
I have not been to many concerts so i am going to loads. i spent my child hood playing in concerts.

Dr Zoidberg · 06-07-2008, 11:52

Yep , I was there , right down the front.

I first saw them about 16 years ago and this has to have been about the 10th time and one of the best.

Apart from the last tour before Bruce left 10 years ago , they always put on a good show , *but* their choice of set-list is often questionable.

When they have a new album out they always do the first three songs from the album in order , then something like 2 minutes to midnight , then the next three songs from the album , then the same half a dozen older tracks and it can all get very samey.

On the previous tour they played the new album in full and it wasn't what a lot of people (me included) wanted to see.

This tour though , we knew it was going to be all classic songs up to "seventh son" with the World Piece Tour stage set and they really didn't disappoint.

The sound was first class , the band were on excellent form , and to hear songs that they haven't played live in ages was a real treat.

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" in particular is the one that stood out for me - the build up after the mid-song interlude was cracking.

Still not quite as good as Linkin Park and Jay-Z was last week though

Meh!

Never heard any of their music before , and thought they were pretty unremarkable.

Not *bad* , but nothing that would tempt me to go out and buy their stuff

monkeychild · 06-07-2008, 17:20

I like AX7

(I really hate that) Seriously I am shocked as I have seen their live stuff on you tube and thought they sounded good.

Taxi 219 · 06-07-2008, 19:50

Saw them over 20 years ago in the Bournemouth winter gardens (now gone).The number of the beast tour and they were excellent

Nothing very exciting, i knew one of there songs but it was a little bit samey.
Iron Maiden mentioned that they are working on a new Album, so there will be another tour.

MisterGT · 06-07-2008, 23:56

I still have my Killers tour shirt from 1982 !

Used to be a huge fan but lost interest after Somewhere in Time. Best album is still the first one IMHO.

RobClubley · 07-07-2008, 00:10

My mate was there - he has a tattoo of one of the album covers right across his back!!!

Zero · 07-07-2008, 09:28

Saw Maiden at Dowload in 2007, they put on a good show BUT.....and i know i'm going to get slated for this.....it was no where near as good as the show Rammstein put on in 2006 at Nottingham.

cheezemonkhai · 07-07-2008, 11:51

That explains why half of the underground appeared to be wearing maiden T-Shirts then...

I'd just assumed they were the in teen angst band of the week
