Review of my concert with Iron Maiden - June 28 in Stockholm Stadion:
I arrived to Stockholm Stadion with some friends in the great heat of this warm Stockholm summer day.
After 3 hours of anxious waiting the gates opened and we went in to the concert arena.
We managed to find a pretty good place to stand and we were waiting for it to begin, Maiden drummer Nicko had already been on the stage for a short moment leaving with an enormous amount of appreciation from the crowd.
Some hours later the opening act Murder Dolls entered the stage.
Everybody, including me had a great hate for them and as their set just begun they had a big part of the crowd pointing "fuck-you" signs to them.
They tried and achived some hypocrit ways to get the crowd to react including "scream for us and Iron Maiden" and "What do you think of Heavy Metal?" trying to convince the crowd that they were infact Heavy Metal.
At the end the singer tried ways like "I know you hate us but fuck you" getting all the fuck-you signs to be a part of the show and he eventually wound up looking almost broken down by the audience response.
And yes, i was one of the vulgar fuck-you pointers
Well, after some great laughs on Murder Dolls behalf and some sitting on the stadium floor to make our backs hurt less, finally the words "Reckon the number of the beast" came out of the speakers.
The crowds reaction and noise was enormous when Iron Maiden started playing and everybody ran and jumped around constantly.
Song highlights were Revelations, The Trooper, The Clairvoyant and of course, Fear of The Dark.
The crowds singing was great at all the choruses, leaving Dickinson almost unhearable at times.
The 2 funniest things that happened during the concert:
- At one point, Bruce was trying to talk and inbetween his sentences people were chanting "Maiden" and clapping constantly.
He just sat down and laughed and it looked like he had no words that could come out of his mouth, i bet he was pretty touched by how much the audience love the band.
- At one point, the crowd was very crazy, i think it was under 22 Acacia Avenue, it resulted in a pretty clumsy fall where 6 or 7 people fell over me and wound up sitting there laughing
The set-list was a pretty ok one though i hope they change some tracks when they come back in November.
Setlist: (i know they opened with Number of The Beast and The Trooper but i dunno the rest of the order except the encore of course)

If there's a thread like this I though that I may put review of Maiden gig in Katowice, Poland... so here it is
It all started on 3rd June... The first thing that caught my attention was that my town was sieged by metalheads! They were everywhere, since early morning. People from every part of Poland and neighbour coutries.
At about 6 pm the gates were opened and the slaughter begun, thousands of furius long-haired muthafuckas started to run to get a good spot on the arena. That was real hell.
Support was some old english rockband "Stray". I must say that they were ok (at least not NU ). At 9 pm we heard the intro of The Number Of The Beast so we went mad. Atfer that Bruce said: "Goodevening Poland! - The Trooper!!!", then "If you gonna die?" and thausands of thorats answered "DIE WITH YOUR BOOTS ON!!!", it was really great. After Revelations and Hallowed Be Thy Name, Bruce stated his speach: "We came here in 1984, and on the left there was a guy from Moscow... and he left. On the right there was a guy from Germany... and he left. And you Poland stayed and we FUCKING RESPECT YOU FOR THAT!!!" after these words I felt thrills on my neck, I thought that the concert hall will explode coz we started to scream so loud, Bruce could say anything else... The rest of the show was excellent, Fear Of The Dark and Heaven Can Wait were great, everybody sang along with Bruce.
These are Nicko's words taken from IM official website:
" It was a most stunning gig. We played a blinder. The audience were fantastic and we all agreed that it was the best gig from a performance point of view so far."
Setlist:
1. The Number Of The Beast 2. The Trooper
3. Revelations
4. Die With Your Boots On
5. Hallowed Be Thy name
6. 22 Acacia Avenue
7. NEW SONG: The world´s wildest dream
9. Brave New World
10. The Clansman
11. The Clairvoyant
12. Heaven can wait
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden
15. Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter
16. Two Minutes To Midnight
17. Run To The Hills
