Here’s the time machine. Between the two of us - we have it covered. I can attest, Maiden was, and has remained one of, if not arguably the best bands that ever has been. I think I’d skip the Ozzy show to see Maiden on their home turf if given the choice between the two. If Megadeth was on the bill - that wouldn’t hurt my feelings either.
Can I ask...was Happy Birthday "Maiden-ized"?I saw them at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland, in 2023 on their Future Past tour and they played Caught Somewhere in Time, Stranger in a Strange Land, Heaven Can Wait, Alexander the Great and Wasted Years from SIT on that tour. The SIASL solo was worth the ticket price alone.
I really wish they had made a concert video from SIT album tour...

the hessian next to me stood up on his chair armrest guzzling shots from his bota bag and booed so hard during twisted sister he threw up on the row in front of us and then passed out in the aisle.
I remember they played like four or five nights there on that tour and thought that must have been a great venue to see that show. Their stop in Houston on the Powerslave tour (with WASP opening) was my first time seeing them, saw them on Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son at the old Summit, also...great memories from those shows.
There were a handful of bands around that time that were awesome to see live.
My Dad was no metal fan but just really knew I wanted to go bad. He'd always complain about the smell of marijuana cigarettes in the air and didn’t trust me to my own devices..he even didn’t trust me to Mom who took me to Aerosmith concerts since it seemed like I was five. Pops also took me to see Ozzy’s Bark at the Moon tour when Motley Crue dropped Shout at the Devil. I have a real cool Dad.the hessian next to me stood up on his chair armrest guzzling shots from his bota bag and booed so hard during twisted sister he threw up on the row in front of us and then passed out in the aisle.
that’s hatred.
dee walked off after 3 songs.
I plan on going when it hits the states. Tomorrow is the anniversary when I saw them in 1983

Yeah man!! Summer Strut at Anaheim stadium was around that time. I was there and Then in the fall at LBA or the Forum. Maiden on NOTB tour and Scorps were touring Blackout. Classic times. Summer Strut. Maiden opening, then Scorps, followed by the headliners LoverBoy and Foregner. LOL
That bill played Day On The Green in Oakland a day before the SoCal date
