The last concert I attended was over 12 years ago (Type O Negative), and in my old age (38, lol) I'm not as inclined to deal with hordes of idiots running around yelling, screaming, and bumping into me.
However, when I found out that, none other than, Iron Maiden was going to be in Dallas this summer, I was really intrigued. Then only to find out that they were playing their Seventh Son set, I was hooked.
I was a huge Maiden fan back in the late eighties and early nineties, but when I finally saw them in Albuquerque, New Mexico, neither Bruce nor Adrian were in the band and they were playing at a CLUB! The vocalist (Blaze?) was completely inaudible and Janick got mad at me because I was wearing a Type-O T-shirt, lol.
Well, this time, Bruce Dickinson is back (and has been for a while, I know) and they're playing my favorite album. I made sure and paid for VIP everything and will be front and center (out of the pit, tho, lol).
The concert is finally here, and I simply can't wait. I was a sophomore in high school when Seventh Son was released, and now I can enjoy it again!
Any other Maiden fans out there?? Up the Irons!!
