Groovy. I'll be going.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
And still no Cleveland date. Oy! I guess I'm gonna have to take an Amtrak to either Chicago or Philadelphia.
On top of Maiden the opening act is Ghost! Talk about a great double bill! I think I am going to try to hit the Chicago show.
I wouldn't mind seeing Iron Maiden. Along with BS they are probably my all time favorite metal band. Sorry Metallica.
I see they are playing the beloved, famous Jiffy Lube Live venue in Virginia.. If they were playing MSG I might try to get cheap seats - I've never seen them. Alas, they seem to be skipping New York.
I think its about time to see them as I just started to appreciate their skills ....better late then never....
The live DVD that I just picked up Live In Rio 2001 was just insane!!!
Oh yeah, Metallica is way down the list for me, too. Definitely Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, and a whole truckload of bands come before Metallica in my book.Originally Posted by Digital_Man
I need to get that DVD one of these days. I have a bootleg VHS of the actual TV broadcast, which I picked up several months before the DVD was even announced, never mind being released. Apparently, the DVD is a completely different video edit, I guess similar to what Pink Floyd did with the Pulse concert. I remember when it came out, a lot of people were saying the edit on the DVD was better than the live broadcast, but I think at the time, we didn't have a DVD player, so I just never picked it up. Then again, I don't have any of th esubsequent DVD's either (apart from the three History Of Iron Maiden releases, which were basically no-brainers, given that they cover the classic 80's era stuff).
Still no Cleveland date...but, they are playing in Brooklyn, maybe that's a show I could go to.
Oops, missed they are playing Brooklyn. Well, no Manhattan... F Brooklyn!Too long a train ride!
A good friend bought tickets for the Friday June 16 show in St Paul. Up the Irons, I'm going!

I'm going! First Maiden show in 26 years. They don't come around here much and the last time they did I was working at a certain NEARfest (which was a better bet at the time).
Sean, what show are you going to?...I don't see them coming to ATL but I could be blind.

I am going to try and get tickets tomorrow for the phila show but I am not feeling very confident I will be able to get them without buying from a ticket agency. Are they still popular enough to sell out within a couple minutes? would they add a second show if they do sell out?
Scored tickets to the Chicago area (Tinley Park) show today. I have not seen Maiden since the “Somewhere In Time” tour a long time ago, so really looking forward to this. I am also a huge Ghost fan, so I can’t think of a better summer double bill.
Just looked at setlists off this tour - five songs from the new album! Not exactly an oldies show.

And it's good stuff too! I saw them back in Feb '16 on the first leg of this tour & was pleasantly amazed by the new material. Going to score tix for this round as well. Interested in this band Ghost.
im in!!!!!! I cant believe im going but I just recently started listening to the latest cd and it is really good!!
I managed to get thru on the phone right at 10 am for the phila show and scored floor seats 105 row 10...
Never saw them !!! cant wait I feel like a kid buying Maiden tickets ..... not sure why I bypassed them back in the 80/s but better late than never in this case!!
Agree, I think "Book Of Souls" is a fantastic album. Looking forward to hearing a lot of it live.
Just got my tickets in the mail and I am so looking forward to this show....anyone else going to the phila show on June 4?
81 dollars is the cheapest seat? I think I'll see Deep Purple and AC instead.
Actually I thought the prices for Chicago were quite reasonable. Maiden tours all over the globe, so it is not like they play the U.S. that often. They bring a huge production with them with a huge lighting rig, whatever version of Eddie they are u and a huge crew that supports it all. On top of that you get Ghost (a headliner in their own right) as the opening act. I was surprised they were under $100 to be honest. Purple tours on a much, much smaller scale, so I would expect to pay less.
