Actual Iron Maiden Downunder news

[Spiff]

Nup, they won't be playing Fear of the Dark. It would defeat the purpose of this being, as Bruce called it, the Early Days Part 2. I expect them to play Iron Maiden, a couple of songs from The Number of the Beast (as Bruce said on the Triple J interview - presumably Hallowed Be Thy Name and NOTB) and the rest of it stuff from Powerslave, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

I saw them twice in December, saw them play Fear of the Dark twice, and I can't even remember singing along to the intro.

 

[Spiff]

And I really hope they don't play Run to the Hills. Bruce obviously hates doing it - listen to his performance on Death on the Road - and I would not miss it one bit.

 

[Spiff]

And no tickets for me yet. They always seem to take ages to get here.

 

[Shannow]

668. .

668 the Neighbour of the Beast !!!

 

[Winmar]

I've never seen Maiden live, so have never seen Run to the Hills live, but have heard it so many times on cd that I feel I don't need to anyway. I'd love it if they did end up doing songs up to SSOASS.

 

[Southy]

I am living on the hope the play Rime... dammit

 

[Spiff]

They will. Bruce made a reference to Monty Python's albatross sketch during the Triple J interview.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

In Beat, Bruce said they'll play a few Number of The Beast songs but the rest Piece of Mind, Powerslave, Somewhere In Time & Seventh Son.

May the people come, and the beers flow....
Here's to maiden and an awesome show!

Call me a teenage dirtbag, but I have my ticket for Iron Maiden Baby!

 

[Sydo]

Second Melbourne gig on sale now!

 

[phlogiston]

DAMMIT! I was hoping there'd at least be couple of days. I need to get paid

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I just bought 5 tickets to the second show, seated on the lower. I expected they would be on sale today. Nice.

 

[MeKaChrOme]

Hmm, so the question becomes now, do I buy tickets to the second Melb. show given that I'm already going down there for the first one =/ But then if they announce a 2nd Sydney show..

 

[Arcane]

2nd Sydney show on sale at 11am!!

 

[Southy]

What about Brisbane?

 

[Bucko]

Gold Floor Front x 2 second Sydney show .... fuk yes

 

[Spruce Goose]

Went with Silver seats section 4 for the second show

 

[Priest of Evil]

What about Brisbane?

No sign of second Brisbane show yet, my guess is they'll only do the extras just announced but hey, I could be wrong.

Still, its great news for all those who missed out on the opportunity to get Gold tickets the 1st time around. I only wished I had some more cash to catch a second show but thems the brakes. At least I've got a chance of getting as close to the stage as I can manage. I cant wait to get on the plane

I hope to never ever stress this much about a concert tickets ever again - only W.A.S.P. could make me do that and my money is on an Aussie tour for Blackie & the boys next year.

Yeah same, front row section 4! Really happy with that.

Yeah hopefully other bands will sit up and take notice, fingers crossed
