I wish this was a West Coast tour, so we could get you ladies back up in the S.F. Bay Area. Good luck rockin' Texas Maidens-style!

 

[Eddieline]

Sweet tour for Texas! I was at the Backstage Live after the San Antonio Maiden show in June and was surprised to see that TIMs were coming there in August. There were postcard sized flyers there advertising the show. Hope you get a big crowd.

 

[NiliWafers]

I can't wait to be "Deena Murray" again! Stage right!

Here's a review of the Austin show:

San Antonio Examiner - Anything Maiden Can Do, The Iron Maidens Can Do Justice

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

I just realized nobody even posted a peep about the Texas Be Quick or Be Dead Tour!!!! The Texas tour was amazing!!!!!!! I know there are links all over facebook from interviews and live performances we did so please post them if you have the linky before I can find them!!

We had the luxury of travelling in a HUGE 40 ft RV/tour bus. Awesome!!! It had a huge bed in the back, 2 bathrooms and a fridge and cooking facilities! I meant to get a pic of it but unfortunately I never did!!

We saw a lot of old friends along the way and made a lot of new ones too.

There were classic thunder and lightening storms on the ride home that were just too amazing to watch, and this is from someone who is not particularly fond of lightning!

I'm kinda scattered at the moment but wanted to get this up before I had to leave again and neglect it another week!

Girls............guys..........post your stories and pics! :Smokin:

I like how you and Wanda are looking at the camera but Kirsten and Linda seem a bit distracted.

Here is my friends review pasted from another board:

All I can say is WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! Really difficult to describe how much I enjoyed this gig, but what a night of rock n roll. Two great tribute bands, on first row all night, got set lists from the stage, and pictures with members of the bands. A great night!

I have been wanting to see the Iron Maidens for several years now, even had looked at planning a trip to Vegas to see them, (still may do that next summer) but they finally did a Texas tour. 5 cities in 5 nights.

The ladies in both of these bands are incredible players. Both bands were energetic working the stage like professionals, and the vocalist in each band was amazing. The ACDshe singer probably sounded more like Bon Scott than the Maidens vocalist did Bruce but it’s an easier voice to mimic. That doesn’t mean the Maiden’s vocalist had any shortcomings. She had the pips and charisma to match.

The set list by both bands was the best part of the night. Hearing Alexander the Great live for the first time made the night, but also having songs like Sea of madness in addition to Maiden classics played made it even better. Honestly, these girls put together better sets than the boys do. The Maidens brought out 6 or 7 different versions of Eddie during the show.

The ACDshe set was just as good. I prefer the Bon Scott era tunes so this was great to me. Would have liked to have heard Jailbreak or couple of others, but cant really complain. It was a solid and entertaining set.

It was one of the best show I have seen this year. Sadly though the turn out wasn’t so good. Maybe 200-250 total. Crowd was interesting. There were some hardcore Maiden fans, some ACDC fans, and during the ACDshe set about 20 lesbians hit the front of the stage. It was an interesting but fun mix of people. There were 2 girls flashing their breast at the band. Very funny!

I hope I see both of these bands again.

[NiliWafers]

Does anyone have more live pics from this tour? I don't really have any.

 

[Kirsten "Bruce Chickinson"]

HELL YEAH, FUKKIN GREAT TIME IN GOOD OL' TEXAS!!!!! But now I'm seriously spoiled by that tour bus! And despite going on very late during weeknights (including finishing our San Antonio set after 3 am on Sunday night), the crowds were great. And what a treat to play not one but TWO House of Blues venues! I know I missed getting to try some great vegan food in Austin and Dallas, but I DID get to meet my love's parents and brother so that was a very special highlight for me. Ah, so many wonderful memories and never enough photos...

Texas--I'm ready for seconds!
