1:38 AM. Just got home from the Zephyr Club after watching The Iron Maidens: Live After Death show. Showered to get the smoke-smell out of my hair, and sat down at the PC.
I must say this was a blazing set! The band ripped through almost the entire LAD catalogue [I believe Revelations was the only song left out], and with Encore did it in an amazing 90 minutes (to the minute!). Rocking show, loud, heavy, and nary a sound problem that I could detect.
One of the very best shows I've seen in a long time. Full of energy, fun, and lots of head-thrashing. The only gripe at all was that the lightboard man kept the stage VERY dark, and even had to be prompted at times to bring the lighting back up. But this did not detract much, and it was a blast to FINALY see the LAD show, since I missed it by 1 day when Iron Maiden was in Salt Lake way-back when.
Go to this gig when it's in your town, and enjoy it as much as I did.
Thanks again to the band for coming, and letting me tape the show. You were all wonderful to meet, and it will be a pleasure to see you all again soon (3 months? I hope so!). Up the Irons, Up the Maidens, and Metal Forever!
