I have no idea how many times I've seen them, but I do remember this: My first time seeing them was the Number of the Beast tour, I've seen them almost every tour (sometimes more than once) with Bruce singing (wished I could have seen the DiAnno era tho).

1991, New Haven Coliseum, New Haven CT
1996, Some club that doesn;t exist anymore, Orlando, FL

The Blaze Era wasn;t that bad, but I distinctly remember people looking around with question marks over their heads while Steve played the intro to "Blood on the World's Hands".

[British_Banger]

Quite unforgiveably, just 2. First in 92 at wembley, then last year at Gods of Metal in Bologna, Italy. It was a very significant show for Bruce cos it was in Bologna that he first sang live with maiden. I can quote the odd line from memory of what he said last year:

"I remember being scared to death of singing this next song on my first appearance with iron maiden 20-something years ago in a basketball stadium a couple of miles down the road" or something to that effect. He was referring to "remember tomorrow".

I vowed last year to see maiden every year they tour from now on.

Of course I saw Bruce and Nicko at the London guitar show and was honoured to meet them both, but I can't count that. As you know, I am seeing them again in Italy this december. I may even try to still get the London Earls Court tickets....
