Wow! It's been a long time since I've seen THAT shirt. Actually, I haven't seen that shirt since the final show of the World Slavery Tour at Irvine Meadows. :)

I was there at the Irvine Meadows show. I even have a picture to prove it! But, who cares about that. I don't know if I still have my ticket from that show, but I'm going to check. For some dumb reason, I'm thinking it was Kick Axe and Billy Squire or something stupid like that. Maybe Alice Cooper. Shesh, that's so long ago I can't remember. I wish it was TS or Accept, that'd would have been very cool, but I know it wasn't that.
 
Sorry about the three posts there. Stupid connection wasn't working right. :rolleyes:

As to the trivia: Twisted Sister did play with Iron Maiden through part of the tour and was the opening act for the shows at Long Beach Arena, but not at Irvine. And while Accept was an opener for Maiden during this tour, they did not open the Irvine show.

The opener of these shows? W.A.S.P.
 
I checked my stack of concert tickets and I found the one from the Maiden Irvine show from 1985! (along with 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, etc. - prior to 85 I tossed them in the trash). Man, that's sooo long ago. The ticket didn't show who else played, but WASP does ring a bell. But, I do remember it being a great show!
