Free Show In Denver!

So are you ever going to play a gig here that I can actually go to? I couldn't get tickets... I heard you were coming, and just about had a heart attack,and then I found out that it was invitation only...
 
GREAT SHOW IN DENVER!! I hope you will be back often.

With us spreading the word, hopefully you will play a more appropriate venue next time (although since moving to Denver from LA, it's been a while since I partied with drag queens!) The house crew did a nice job with the sound, though, and you all did great with the cramped quarters. Also, the DJ, Magic Cyclops, was a total trip! What an entertaining night!

The musicianship was as amazing as I had expected from following you online for a couple years, and you all really made us feel appreciated and part of the show. Great job.

Nice set list choices! Aces High and Revelations are always awesome, but hearing tunes like Another Life and Transylvania played so well is such a treat since the boys don't pull out gems like that on the normal tours anymore. I'm sure you get suggestions from everyone and that it probably gets old, so I beg your forgiveness, but if you frequent the IMBB you'll know there are many of us dying to hear songs like Alexander The Great, Invaders, and the never-played Prodigal Son. I would crawl to one of your future gigs on my hands and knees dressed as Sharon Osbourne if you advertised you were going to play one of those!

Thanks again for coming to Denver, and I hope you put us on your normal circuit! UP THE MAIDENS! :headbang:

Welcome Jeff. Up top there is a sticky thread with songs the ladies have done. Invaders is one of them. :headbang: No AtG or Prodigal though.

There is the "Please play this begging thread" down below where we make requests. If enough folks want to hear something maybe the band will put it on the list. The ladies do want feedback as to what folks want to hear. No promises, but it never hurts to ask.

It was great fun to FINALLY play in Denver after so many requests from IM fans there and you made us feel more than welcome - The crowd was so enthusuastic - we had a wonderful time and can't wait to return!
Sorry about the confusion on how to get in MaidenColorado - wish we had had more info to pass on so you could've attended the show.

Thanks to those who were able to get passes- it looks like we will be back sometime in the future, so we will see you next time!!!!

Yea that was quite a trip and not the usual kind of opening act we have-
But it shows the true devotion Iron Maiden fans have to the music.....that's for SURE! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
So what was the unusual opening act? :err:

Jim

it was a boylesque show with an 80z theme - guys stripping to 80z songs. the green room was very busy with the performers in various states of dress. at one point i found a bare ass inches from my face and was unable move up out of the way!

My friend has a similar story, his black metal bands first show was at a gay rodeo...literally a gay rodeo. :lol:

The things you do for metal. :lol:

I think it was "YUM!" :lol: Just kidding! She was trying to get the guy's attention but he was having none of it while he was bending over with his bum nibbling at her earlobe either changing his "attire" or socks or SOMETHING! She couldn't move so she kept leaning away from it and it just kept getting closer and closer! LOLOL! OMG what a night! :err: Denver rocks!

Hell yes. you will. I took my kids to Palm Springs for spring break last year, and was hoping to catch you then, but no luck there. Next time your at this altitude, you can be sure I'll be there to bug you. The Illiff Park Saloon is a kick ass metal bar0 just FYI. o_O

:kickass: That's too funny... :lol: It's not so much that we rock- it's the lack of O2. Your brain starts to atrophy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's an awesome story!!!!! :lol:
 
Someone told me a funny story at the table afterward - he said they were keeping track of the time listed for us to start and a bunch of people got themselves front and center when we were sposed to go on....when out prances another dancer! He said he never saw a group of people move so fast together - right to the back! :lol:
It was quite a circus!! :oops: But a total riot!!!!

That was so hilarious, Sara - Nice reflexes, girl! I was cracking up watching you weave away from the offending body part. I guess that's what they call dancing cheek to cheek!!!!!

By that token I can't help but wonder if anyone was expecting more dancers when y'all came on, only to run to the back when after a few minutes his bozone layer and/or drunken stupor was finally cracked by the fact of "Oh, these are real women".
:OMG:

It was a very interesting and totally fun crowd for sure! Before the dancing started, I thought it unusual such an eclectic crowd was gathering for a metal show. There were a couple middle-aged drag queens, “school girls” with skirts and lunchboxes, an otherwise cute girl dressed as an old lady, several big-haired gals right out of a John Waters flick, and lots of “boys”. I used to call that “Tuesday night at my neighbor’s” when I lived in West Hollywood, but not the usual turnout for a Denver rock crowd. Then it all made sense when the MC started pouring gallons of milk over a chiseled dancer going by “Lambchop” or something. Yes, there were a few guys backpedaling through the crowd and retreating to the tables wearing stunned expressions! Classic! DJ Magic Cyclops summed it up best when, immediately after the review, he said, “There was sooooo much meat up there, that… I am now a vegetarian!”

I’m glad to say our metalhead brothers and sisters all mingled nicely with our new friends and, from both camps, there was a great energy from the crowd. Honestly, even though the Maidens were headlining, we were all guests in their house as that is the club scene on Broadway in Denver, and I thought our host crowd was very welcoming to a swarm of black t-shirts and bad hair!

And then the band broke into Aces High and the crowd totally switched, leaving an (albeit small) mob of screaming and fist-raising rivetheads!

To echo MaidenColorado, there are some great hard rock clubs here including Iliff Park. I’m certain you’ll see several times the turnout at your very next show, and then upwards from there. Can’t wait for the next time!!
