KILLED it that night) The Iron Maiden tour doc "Flight 666"is freaking killer. Not only is it one of the best tour documentaries I have ever seen, but it has awesome live stuff and is a real testament to the world wide power of heavy metal. To see the fans in India go as crazy as the Aussies and Yanks is pretty amazing. The band allowed unprecedented access and it's a great glimpse of a veteran rock band on tour. (they play tennis for cryin out loud) As a pilot was really diggin the flying sequences and much of the film takes place inside the converted 757 "Ed Force One." This is a MUST see, it's showing on Palladium all weekend and on sale Tuesday. "She Came to me with a serpent's kiss as the eye of the sun rose in her lips" .

I've seen Maiden 3 times live and they are just jaw-droppingly intense. If Maiden were any greater than they already are, it'd have to be illegal. :-) The 2-disc set includes the documentary plus all the live performances from around the world as a concert set. And yes, to see fans in far-flung parts of the world come out on droves for the shows - and to greet the band at the airports and hotels! - is just too cool. They're like the Beatles of heavy metal!! There are many great scenes in the doc..... one really stands out in my mind. I believe the show was in Botoga, Columbia.... after the finale "Run to the Hills" there's a shot of a young couple as the house lights come up. The dude has one of Nicko's drumsticks in his hand and he looks up to heaven with tears of joy and gratitude in his eyes for having finally seen the mighty Iron Maiden! Really touching, amazing piece of footage. UP THE IRONS!!!!! \M/

I saw them with Maquee on the SOMEWHERE IN TIME tour 87 at Long Beach. Then SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME. 20 years later, have to say they were better now. They are the yardstick to measure yourself by. If you dont show up and do it with as much passion as they do, don't bother. Iron Fucking Maiden!!

Iron Maiden opened up the show (Number of the Beast tour). I was hooked ever since. Scorpions (Blackout tour)were next, then Loverboy and Foreigner headlined. I went to see the Scorps, and had never heard Maiden before. Needless to say I was blown away! Saw them on the next tour in '84 (Piece of Mind) with Saxon and Fastway at the Cow Palace in SF, the tour after in '85 (Powerslave) with Twisted Sister as the opener, again at the Cow Palace, then the tour after that in '86 (Somewhere in Time) at the Oakland Arena with Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Damn Vinnie Vincent was just awful!!! Then I didn't see them for almost three decades. One show in '03 and two on the Last tour They were and are still are one of the greatest live bands.

I also cut my teeth on 80's New Wave of British Heavy Metal but back then I was more of a Priest fan. I was able to catch Ozzy with Rhodes on the Diary of Madman tour but my big moment was the US Festival in 83, Priest destroyed the place. I was getting a bit down on the Scorps by then, I'm a huge Uli Jon Roth fan and when you stack up Taken By Force against Blackout, it makes it look like bubble gum. That day changed my life - big time. I also agree with Reeder, Maiden was far better this last time around, they seem to have a better appriciation for the situation they find themselves in. Plus that retro setlist and stage set up was KILLER! (nice pun eh) To be honest the last couple of year have been the best for heavy metal in decades. Dio back with Sabbath, Priest regaining form, Motorhead, Clutch, Mastodon all put on great tours. Then Fu makes a mind meltingly heavy album and throws a kick ass tour. It's a good time to be an Earth Dog or a Rivet Head!

LOL Did you catch Motorhead at the Warfield a few weeks back? What about Judas Priest performing British Steel in Concord a month or two ago? Those were both epic shows! Good to see those ancient Mo-Fo's can still bring it! And while we are talking old school... Anyone going to see the DEVO shows in SF next weekend? I got tix for both nights. It's gonna be great!

For the Future instead of Freedom of Choice. But I'll take what they give me. You can drink all the 7UP you want but being's that I'll be riding my bicycle to the gig... I'll be drinking a beer or two! Thats my arm in my avater. Find it, you'll find me...
