Ok....I was feeling that I was getting old...But these guys for being in their mid 50's sure could move around when they put on a concert.Now I don't feel to bad.They where in Calgary last night and in Edmonton the night before.Did anyone else go??...10,000 attended in Calgary...I think it sold out.

Yes.....I know... But this is the stuff that I grew up on....Got me through College some how in 1982......

Cool stuff Dave, I remember listening to Iron when I grew up. Old hair metal bands, when they had hair and I had hair. The lead singer for Iron, has a air plane show on PBS, thats pretty cool.

Would be nice to have money to buy that kinda of level of toys.

It was kind of cool..seeing some young fellows rocking out to songs that where composed before they where born...There where some old farts that where getting into it also...Looked funny as hell..

I didn't know that the lead singer also flys chartered jets in the UK,Thats why he had to cut his hair short..also didn't know that majority of their songs are about history.Bruce Dickinson has a degree in history.

I kind of like the Boeing 757 jet ed force one..I guess they use this jet for their equipment instead of trucking it around the countries they tour.

Dave, try again bro, I'm not that young but still young at heart. I have few of their albums hidden away at my parents, along with a few other oldies but goldies.

Bruce, he's a pretty funny guy. I like that TV show. He's different sort

Lil Dog

Big fan.. Went way back on the Madness tour and some upstart opening band came out and just made a mess of the place, fights, throwing stuff. The opening band had such a drunk bass player, they had to source out another one and eventually had to loose the drummer too. Any thoughts on who the opening band was? Some trivia!


BTW did they have Eddie there?

Diesel Dave2

The friend that went to the concert with me...I asked him....The backup band was Guns and Roses...Back in about 1988 or 89...What I was told that Guns and Roses bailed half ways on the tour,because of the one song they had...Welcome to the Jungle,made them overnight successes...I'm I right??

Also didn't know they have four guiters in the band..One bass and 3 leads..No wonder it sounds so good live and on tape..

Eddie was there.....huge....about 10 feet tall

You nailed it!! I was there. Saw Axel jump down into the crowd to fight after a drink was thrown at him.. What a nobody band eh? LOL..

My 19 year old son and his buddies saw them last week in Seattle. Said it was a good concert.

Diesel Dave2

A fellow I know who followed this band concerts since 1975,said...as these guys get older,there shows are getting better.

I guess that says something Andy...That at 50...we are not ready for the bone yard yet.The guys where amazing on stage..they moved around like they where 20 years old..

Lil Dog

Sorry I missed it.

Diesel Dave2

It was a really good concert...The Scorpions are also on tour.In Alberta in Aug.Got my ticket..Don't expect a really high energy concert,but you never know with the lead singer and lead guitarist both in their early 60's, age doesn't matter..I guess....Wow...How time flew by since the Blackout album"

Diesel Dave2

They are back (Iron Maiden tour 2012).......Calgary July 26 and Edmonton July 27....Tickets have gone on sale Mar 01.... I'm going again for sure..

These 50 plus year olds put on one hell of a show and its amazing the age group of the audience is anywhere from 10 years old to 60..

So for you guys that grow up with this stuff....Don't miss this concert...
