Iron Maiden

[Dave Knight]

Went to see the mighty Iron Maiden on Saturday at the Coop stadium in Manchester, booked today off to recover. 

They blew the frickin roof off. One of their best performances for sure. I’ve seen them 53 times, so I guess I’m a bit of a fan. 🤣.

The long hair has long gone, but the passion for the band hasn’t. 🤘🏽I’m still in the fan club. 🤣😉

Any metal fans?

No spoilers please! Got tickets for the gig in London on Saturday.

First saw them in the mid 80's and have done many times since. Nowhere near 53 times though!

Deffo no spoilers Vista. Strap yourself and report back!

I heard Iron Maiden had gone Woke and renamed themselves Iron People. 🤣🤣

Up the Irons!

Some gig wasn’t it mate! The visuals were stunning too. 

Last time I saw them play like this was, Beast on The Road tour 82. 
 

They are all on top form. Thought Simon Dawson was superb.

It was one of the best Maiden gigs I have ever seen, and certainly the largest with circa 75'000 fans present.

If I had a criticism, it would be that the screens needed to be larger in such a large stadium. Even on the screens, the detail was distant.

The music and delivery though? First Class. And all from the best era of Maiden (in my opinion)

Agree with all that. The screens in Manchester were fine. There’s a running track at West Ham if I remember so the stage would be tad far for fans. 
 

It was bloody biblical. 😉

No. Not a fan of festivals as camping is a nono for me.
