Saw them Saturday night in front of a PACKED house in Atlanta. Great setlist, great stage show, and if you didn't pay attention to the double chins on the video screens, you'd swear this was a band still in their prime.

And holy shite, I NEVER saw a merch line as long as what I saw last night. Fortunately for me, we entered through the east gate before people started filling up the place (Lakewood regulars probably know when I say the east gate is the best kept secret they won't tell you about, since parking is free there), so I got a shirt before the line formed. Hell, if I had the dough, I would've bought one of everything, their merch is that cool.

Be sure to catch them if they come your way...I do know Charlotte is tomorrow, and Nashville is next month FYI...

I will be at the Dallas show in September & I can't wait. This will be my 5th Maiden show & I have never seen a band have as much merch for sale or have a line as long at all merch stands as they do. I have never seen anything like it & I go to tons of shows. I would love to know how much they clear per night on merch sales alone. They still bring it live too. It really is amazing.

Saw them a couple years ago, and they put on a damn good show. They're playing at the Woodlands in September, thinking of riding over for it.

Yeah, it was mind-boggling how long those merch lines were, lol...I've been going to concerts since '82, and I've NEVER seen lines so long at the merch tables, and no one else comes close. And people weren't just getting one shirt, they were loading up! shite, they could probably play for free, and still make enough merch money to pay everyone and still have enough for themselves

To the band's credit tho, they've got stuff worth buying!

Check them out if you can. They put some thought into their current stage presentation, and it shows.

Going to Indianapolis in August. Worked for me because it’s a Saturday night. Can’t wait! I catch them every time they make a run through the US. If you haven’t seen them, do yourself a favor and go while they are still bringing it like they are now. Unfortunately it won’t last forever but they are still as good as they were 30 years ago. Great setlist for this run too.

Here's the one I bought

Except it says "Legacy Of The Beast Tour '19" at the bottom. Unfortunately, no "event" posters, not for Atlanta anyway...

Good to hear they still bring it!
Thinking about seeing them at the Woodlands in September too.
Strange that I kind of liked them in the 80's-90's but didn't really appreciate how great some of their tunes are til I kept hearing them on Ozzy's Boneyard every time I got in the car.
