2 Minutes to Midnight. Iron Maiden, NIA Birmingham, 31st July 2011

2 Minutes to Midnight by Iron Maiden from the NIA Birmingham 31st July 2011. Fantastic gig with a good mixture of new, old and very old. Support from Austrailian band Airbourne who went down very well. I ended up using most of my memory and battery recording the Airborne set so please have a look once it's uploaded.

[sboraston]

@rockchicadee yep it was great...wish i'd recoreded more maiden though..

[trainora]

saw them perform this back in 1984 when I was 10. maiden rules!

[sboraston]

@trainora first time i saw them was in 1986...sadly i was older than 10

personally with maiden,i think they should publish the set list before hand. that way no one can moan about how they wished they could play this song or that song and they waasted their money...give your tick to someone who wants to see the band (and there are a few thousand who would gladly go) instead of complaining

[sboraston]

@benjambreeg i always look up setlists on setlist.fm or something...i just don't like suprises..

[bizleyash]

Wow...negative, negative, negative....I was there and took my daughter to her first Maiden concert.....sorry guys, but the look on the face of a young 15 year old girl when the band hit the stage will outweigh anything you experts will ever have to say....cheers....it was a great gig....better than the one I saw in Dortmund in 1986...and that was a good one.....peace

It was epic... I didn't know what to expect on my first maiden gig but it was awesome \m/ (-_-) \m/ Up the Irons from the Midlands!

[rareisalive]

was there, FUCKING EPIC111111SHIFT1111 :)

[tyfe1994]

i was basically exactly where you were but on the left side of the stage

[benjambreeg]

sorry mate... wasting love,talisman,dream of mirrors,dance of death,pilgrim,legacy,alchemist­,2 am, como estais amigos ... are just some of the gems janick have contributed to..apart from the fact that he revitalized the stage show.

they were great bud, first time ive seen them in 19 years!......still think (as a guitarist myself) that 3 guitars is one too many.....doesnt leave room for space in the music and it ends up as a mush of sound cause the 3 guitars end up playing all the time. They are a class act but they will never top the Murray/ Smith/ Harris/ Dickinson/ McBrain........lineup, that was the best and will always be the best version of Maiden, ALL the best albums were written by those guys together.
