Iron Maiden yesterday

[frualeydis]

Yesterday Iron Maiden played the big (for Sweden at least) outdoor sports arena here in Gotheburg and Inger and I went, as we do when they play in Gothenburg. We and 54 919 others. They had some issues with the sound, which is common on outdoors concerts, so Bruce' voice disappeared sometimes, which was too bad, since his voice is an important part of the experience.Still it was a vey good concert. Neither I nor Inger had heard their latest album, but the songs were good and I enjoyed very much when Bruce ran around in beige chinos and a hunter green raincoat during "The book of souls" - he's always been so very unfashionable for a rockstar; like when he wore spandex trousers like all heavy metal bands in the '80s, but with knee socks with a stripe at the top over them :)
Best was "Powerslave" I think. I miss the Horus mask from the first tour with that album though. Or maybe "Hallowed be thy name" or "Number of the beast". The latter was the best delivery of that song that I've seen I think.

And I remember well when cameras were forbidden at concerts and you were searched for them at the entrance

Glad you had a great time. Maiden is definitely on my bucket list of bands to see before I die. Heck, this post makes me want to grab my guitar and play some tonight, so again thank you for that. :-)

Yes, you should definitely try and see them, it's well worth the money.
