Saw Iron Maiden last night

Flew to Indianapolis to catch the show. Completely blown away, and I’ve seen them several times. The theatrics and pyro were amazing. And the band was better than ever. They just get better every time I see them. Revelations, Flight of Icarus, Where Eagles Dare, Sign of the Cross, The Clansman...great to hear these songs live for the first time in years. Plus all the old favorites. Just an outstanding show, and Bruce hinted of new music coming up!

saw them in Nashville, they hit us with Aces High and never stopped. I think I was more wore out than the band.
may be the best tour since 7th son tour back in the 80's
kind of a three part show---War- Heaven and Hell

I actually like their recent stuff the best.

Book of Souls is a great album.
Going to see Maiden next month in Dallas. Can't wait.

Definitely, and one of the best live versions I have seen or heard. I don’t think they play a show without it in the set list.

I just never could get into Iron Maiden. I’ve been a pretty big rock/ metal fan most of my life too but for whatever reason Maiden just was just always blah to me.

Odd that you would consider yourself a metal fan and not get into some of the pioneers. Some of the best musicianship in the genre.

Argh I wanted to see them when they come to the Woodlands. Work travel will keep me from catching this one.

Man I saw them in Lincoln two years ago for the first time since 1985. I was amazed. Bruce sprinted around the entire stage the whole show just like way back when. The whole band had seemingly the same energy level that they had 32 years before. Just incredible.

Revelations
fricking JEALOUS!!!

Revelations might be my all time favorite song in a catalog packed full of great songs. That whole Piece of Mind album is incredible. God I wish they would bring back Still Life and To Tame a Land to their set list.

Saw them in Atlanta, amazing show. First time I'd seen them since World Piece tour (not for a lack of trying, just had horrible luck), and dare I say they haven't lost a step. I LOVE their last few albums, but this setlist was perfect for someone like myself who missed out after all these years...it almost felt like I was seeing them only a few years after World Piece, and certainly not 36 years 
If you have tix to an upcoming show, RUN and don't walk to the merch stands...I've never seen a line so long, it was that crowded. And if I can make a nerdy fashion recommendation, the fabric quality of the olive Aces High shirts are much more superior than the other shirts...so if you only buy one, and hope to have it around for a long time, think of getting that particular shirt.

I do believe we’re kindred spirits on this count. Piece Of Mind is my favorite Maiden album and Revelations is my favorite of all their songs. In addition to that, Still Life just might be my second favorite song on the album.

I just got a last minute invite to see them in the Woodlands and.............Houston is flooded.

Behind Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Revelations is my favorite live cut. Can't wait to see them in Houston.

I caught them in Atlanta back in July. Second row, dead center. My first time seeing Maiden and they didn’t disappoint. I took my step daughter for her birthday since she is a massive Maiden fan. I ended up catching her one of Niko’s drum sticks and his sweat band after the encore. Needless to say, she was on cloud 9 for days.
Edit: the stages are all part of an interlocking theme. The show starts off in a war zone, makes its way into heaven with a cathedral backdrop and finally ends in hell.

If you listen to Number of the Beast and your first thought is "Blah" then I assume this statement:

Isn't true.

Saw Maiden last night in Dallas with a packed house at Starplex. I never thought I would get to hear Where Eagles Dare & The Evil That Men Do but now I have. Incredible show & it is hard to believe these guys are in their 60's. They went all out with this stage show. An actual plane(for one song), Bruce with a flamethrower, the backdrops, fire, & of course Eddie. If you are in the Houston area go to The Woodlands to see them tonight.
Let talk about the merchandise lines. Again, I have never see anything like it. The lines for all stands went on forever. One on the west side made it all the way to the lawn if you are familiar with Starplex. I would love to know how much they make per night on merch sales.
