well what can i say that hasnt already been said about iron maiden live.....no matter how many times i have seen them it always feels like the first time.the show started off with ikkle lauren harris,strutting her stuff all over the place singing a blend of pop rock,it was a bonus and as i had my son with me(8 years old) it was a good opener to get him going.cant help but feel she needs to get some proper musicians behind her and get some heavier tracks down if this is her chosen bag.
next up was trivium,now i havent heard a lot of this band,and didnt really know what to expect,but they were very good,the only problem was i had to keep reminding myself i wasnt watching metallica!!close your eyes and you couldnt tell the difference.
then the moment we was all waiting for"maiden"
the tension was rising and you could see the guys coming on stage to the left,nicko looning around running about,as was janik,so the lights were down a little and the melodic tones of doctor doctor drifted over the pa,getting louder and louder,as soon as it stopped they hit the stage,was awesome.
they played the entire new album which is much better live than i could of hoped for,bruce had the crowd in his pocket from the off,and they whipped us into a frenzy of magnanimous proportions.
at the end of the album they did some classics which just sent everyone wild,fear of the dark,the evil that men do,2 mins to midnight beore iron maiden and enter edward.
brief rest then they came back for a few more and to announce a summer festival show in some muddy field were they are gonna do a mixed show ala donning revisited.
all in all it was awesome,i loved it,the 20,000 inside the men arena loved it,my son was overjoyed and we left very happy.
the funny moment,well eddie appears in a tank!!i shit you not,which proceeded to eat adrians guitar lead,very funny watching him panick.
