This was the gig of the year in 2008 no fuckin doubt about that, as a veteran of over 40 maiden gigs this was the best i had seen them in years, blew my fucking socks off and i've never seen a shite maiden gig
This was the best £35 i ever spent....not to mention avenged sevenfoold before it...iron maiden were amazing...its a shame the amps messed up a bit but otherwise amazing
yeah i know....apparently standing was limited so the pitch wasnt full.....im just saying from where i was it looked PACKED so its just a bit wierd seeing up luck so empty...Incredible night though....although i must say ACDC Wembley was better :D ....buts that just my opinion
It must be a little depressing from Maidens point of view seeing that the back is empty and believe me i was there under the vid screen on the left and it looked PACKED OUT!!!
Fuck you all! i was there! let me tell you, this band is something else, i was at the top tier a few rows right by the balcony, and bruce's (lead singer) voice carries all the way to the back of the arena WITHOUT those fuck off great big amps.
to anyone thinking of going to see this band, the money is INCREDIBLY worth it, seriously it wouldnt be a waste :)
people were only really getting crushed during avenged sevenfold, i was at the front during maiden the only trouble was when bruce changed a line in wasted years to tell everyone to go back a bit, otherwise no trouble........great gig, tho i can see in a way what you mean but personally i prefer being in the standing it has a completely different atmosphere to sitting down, but that is just my opinion...anyway, respect for going to the greatest gig in the world
That concert was the best moment of my musical life, no doubt.
Although it was a real shame that the floor wasn't full :c
But it was Epic,and the opening gave me frickin' goosebumps when they started with Aces High, I had never been to a concert of such a legdendary band, and doubt i will again.
very soppy comment here but this song bought a few tears to my eyes, along with hallowed be thy name. alot of great memories with those songs, and when you're singing with 50,000 people, you can't help but get a bit emotional.
I was there, with three freinds on the stands. Should have been closer, the people around me were pathetic they were just standing there doing nothing, while me and my mates were going BERZERK.
Yeah man, I fucking agree! The same thing in Stockholm 16/7. Me and my friends were going so crazy that we almost died, even after waiting 12 hours for Iron Maiden. We were like 15-20 meters from the stage, while people standing closer didn't do shit! It pisses med off, really. ITS IRON FUCKING MAIDEN, GO NUTS DAMNIT!
Btw, best gig I have and ever will attend. It was like a 2 hour long orgasm, which even carried on days after the gig.
"It was like a 2 hour long orgasm, which even carried on days after the gig."
I couldn't hyave put it better myself! I feel sorry for these people, are they shy? Do they have arthritus? The victim of a very cruel hypnotist? I just can't understand why they would even pay to see Iron Maiden when they will only watch gormlessly!?
Honestly, I don't know. I mean, when I attended the 2006 gig I only had a seat and I was alone. As they played the whole AMOLAD album, people were so lame. But when the classics started, I didn't give a fuck anymore. I stood up and went totally insane, really I shouldn't have been shy during the time they played new songs. I loved that album and should have enjoyed the performance more. What I payed for '08, I got in return x10.
Man, you weren't where I was. Front centre of standing. In Aces High everyone was afraid for their lives there was such a violent human tidal wave. If you slipped you would of got badly injured-and some people did and were lifted over the crowd with broken collarbones and stuff lol.
Ok since I've had quite a response to make these vids available, I've uploaded them onto my site. You can find them at methezine[DOT]com.
From there, navigate to the Downloads section and they are all under the Miscellaneous folder.
I've included some other vids from the concert too that I didn't put on youtube. some of the files are large so you might want to use a download manager.
ive been going to gigs for 20+ years and have seen maiden 4 times but this was something special,best gig ive ever been to,still smiling about it now!!! AWESOME!!!!
watching this now, makes all the hairs on my neck stand up. i am proud to have been a small part of this! that night will live with me till the day i die! UP THE IRONS!
maiden were absolutely flawless. probably the best gig i've ever been to, i was about 15 feet from the front. i get goosebumps just from watching these sing-a-longs.
i was u29 right at the top and the wind was blowing my way so the sound was gr8 but my uncle on the opposite side had the wind sweeping the sound away from him lol
i was there it was gr8 i loved it i lost my voice and had a splitting headache i was rocking so hard and potterhead i saw you i was in the east stand at the top rocking it out up the irons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its good to see a british metal band on home turf showing others how to do it. and it looks like they might be coming back to their peak in terms of popularity, ability etc. so yea UP THE IRONS! lol.
I was there! About 6feet from the stage, on the right hand side (IN a red Maiden tshirt under a black corset- did you see me lol? ). Came out covered in beer, sweat, bruises and piss on my boots.
I was there and this was without doubt THE high point of the show for me! Roughly 70,000 people singing to a perfect rendition of Fear of the Dark!!! Nothing will ever top that.:D
it was an amazing gig & this song is one of my favourites, i was there singing along to this! Where bouts were u filming? was it anywhere near L15 section in the north stand?
The 5 blokes on the left came a week too early for the rave.
