Of course the concert was awesome...dont need to get into details of how good they were. Am not good enough a writer to translate into words, the chemical rush inside my head when i hear the opening strains of any of the numbers. And it happened for each and every song...so....
But few things i noticed in the concert...
a. Bunch of 15-16 year olds next to me knew all the songs. Right from Iron Maiden from Iron Maiden to of course "Fear of the dark". These kids have been brought up well with the right values in life.
b. The crowd was very happy to see even Lauren Harris (Founder Steve Harris's progeny) after a couple of hours of lounging around. Enthusiastic reception even, definitely the beer talking. She got the bird every time she asked the crowd to put their hands up last time i saw her.
c. Maiden 80's and 90's output is incredibly tight, with not a note out of place. Unlike the 2000's output which tends to meander in the middle of most songs. The operatic theme driven numbers from this era tend to fall into this. But a similar themed song like "Rime of the Ancient mariner" doesnt even hint at being anything except extraordinary.
d. I love the Maiden cover of UFO's Doctor Doctor.
e. This is what i do in a maiden concert, "tan tana tan tana tan tana tantanana....tan tana tan tana tan tana tantanana...tananananana.....". Most people sing along with the lyrics, i do wierd sounds along with the guitars and drums. I dare any of you to guess the song.
f. They dint end up singing Moonchild.
g. My third maiden concert and up for many more.
IRON MAIDEN COMING TO GET YA. hey hey hey hey UP THE IRONS.
