What an incredible show we had there at the Galaxy! Thank you, each and everyone one of you who came out to see us. We know you have plenty of places to spend your hard earned ducats and are honored you choose to come to our show and share this great music with us. It was great to meet so many of you after the show, too.
Not only was it 'Arry's B'day, but also our stage manager, Chris Knudsen's, as well. We are soooo lucky to have him on our team. A consummate professional and a hella great guy to boot.
The staff and crew were wonderful. Clyde (front of house), Milo (monitors) and Jeff (lights) did a bang up job. Jeff had toured with Maiden before and really knew what he was doing.
Last but never ever least : A great big thank you to Mr. Michael Kenney for sitting in and playing with us. He's such a kind and lovely person. Wasn't it just amazing to hear his keyboards fill the theater on Seventh Son? During soundcheck, when I was finished singing my part, I ran down front so I could hear it the way the audience would, cuz I knew I wouldn't get a chance during the show. It was grand! So majestic!
When he made his entrance as The Count that was the crowning glory!
Here's a funny behind the scenes story: We had hoped that he would reenact his role as The Count for the song but he told us that he had to have the right cape to do it. What he didn't tell us was that he HAD the right cape! Naughty trickster!
And wasn't it great seeing Sara work the stage with her amazing energy? On the May '04 show, she snapped her Achilles Tendon just as we started. Played the whole show in what must have been excruciating pain. Now THAT'S an Iron Maiden!!!
