I haven’t had time to blog, but I saw Iron Maiden on the Legacy of the Beast tour a couple weeks ago in Cincinnati and it was absolutely incredible. We got down to the hotel and from the time we left to the concert managed to cram about four albums in. We called an Uber were ready to roll. The driver proceeded to kill our mood by playing tribal folk music the whole way there and taking the wrong route. We did see this guy though.
For those that don’t know Iron Maiden, what is wrong with you? Also, four of the five members have been playing together since 1982, three since 1980. Their live show was like listening to a remastered album but with WW2 planes, swordfights and huge Eddie characters, plus fire. They played ALL classic songs, from Aces High and the Trooper to Flight of Icarus and the Clansman (as Bruce yelled from the stage, for those of you who didn’t finish high school, that’s Clansman with a C, not a K – it’s about William Wallace).
The best part of the show is they announced they are planning another tour, so there’s that little insider nugget for all of you. If you haven’t heard the best live band in rock history, you still have time to correct your mistake. Steve Harris playing bass alone is worth the ticket. Plus I picked up this bad Oscar.
