GREAT STORIES!!!
Most of you got me beat, in fact, I don't even come close...DAMN!!! But, that's sooo cool.
Doodoobubbachuck's recollection of 'sneaking' down to the front at Long Beach Arena was a memory for me...I did that all the time too. Amazingly, I never got caught. But you did and you got backstage passes...arggg!!!! Tough punishment for the crime. You think they'd give me back stage passes? Not in a million years. Plain and simply...being a female has it's advantages!
Ms Anthrope...hats off to you. I read about Dave Murray getting married to somebody from California, and living in Hawaii.
Bassbitch... I wanted to see them at the Greek Theatre but couldn't (especially since it was a smaller venue than from the past), and I was planning to see them in Vegas, but then it was cancelled!!! That sucked sooo much because...well...they hadn't played for quite some time and I really, really, really wanted to see them. But, hearing your story of how there was this "intoxicating buzz radiating thoughtout the audience" just reinforces what I figured I would miss, DAMNED!!!! (At least you caught it tho.)
I must admit, I do have another great moment...more like memorabilia. I didn't know about it until several years after it occurred (I think that's why I didn't think of it earlier). It's a picture that I'm in with Iron Maiden! It's in their first biography. Came out in early 90's. The picture I'm in was at their very last maiden show from the Powerslave tour, and that was at Irvine Meadows. At the end of the show when the entire band crowded together at the front of the stage, a picture was taken from the back of the stage and looking out. I recalled that I was at that show (I snuck down to the front there too), so I looked at the front row and there I was! I'm right smack dab in the front! I was stoked!
Anymore stories out there, let's hear'm.
