Iron Maiden’s can.
Have you ever felt the future is the past - but you don’t know how?
I was only 5 years old when this album came out. I was more interested in the Dukes of Hazzard and E.T. at the time. It wasn’t until 7 years later that I became aware of this amazing record. My friend Bill (still keep in touch - he’s going to Maiden this summer) let me borrow his tape - he let me borrow a bunch so I could learn everything I could about Maiden.
Iron Maiden’s can.
The founder and bassist of Iron Maiden is 56 years young today. Happy Birthday ‘Arry!
In case you’ve never seen this - it’s a guy from Swedish Idol in 2009 doing “Run to the Hills.” Maybe if American Idol had more people doing this kind of music it would be watchable.
How great is this!? Saw this commercial on ESPN over the weekend. Man it’s going to be a long 3+ months!
Well, I got my tickets! I will be seeing Iron Maiden for the 8th time this summer! As you can see from the seating chart - the tickets aren’t great, but I can’t complain. For the amount of money they cost, I’m just glad I wasn’t stuck out on the lawn.
My orignal plan was to get the best cheap seats possible - but that on the grass in the back. Great when I took the wife to James Taylor - not so much when you want to see Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper.
Years ago we (wife and I) saw the Mighty Mighty Bosstones there (Comcast Arena in Mansfield, MA) and the grass was all torn up and thrown around. I know that Maiden is much more respectable crowd, but still I’m glad I got a seat.
Last time (Somewhere Back in Time) we were closer, I think section 4, but the view of the stage was obstructed. This time we’ll be looking dead on so I am psyched.
I think this the section (or very close to) where we saw Maiden in Ozzfest ‘05. Could see everything fine so I have no complaints.
Long way from $48 4th row in Worceter though.
This will be the 4th time I’ve seen Iron Maiden at the Comcast Center (though I still call it Great Woods from time to time), and the venue is a great place for a summer show.
Now lets just hope the weather cooperates….
Now that I’m only two days away from getting my tickets, and snowed in up in New Hampshire with only my cell phone’s 3G signal giving me enough Internet to write this post - I’ve been doing a lot of reading (comic books and Dave Mustaine’s autobiography) and have been thinking about the concert.
THE concert.
