I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this but here goes anyways. I went and saw Iron Maiden in Chicago at the Allstate Arena in Chicago on Wednesday night ( my 12th time seeing them) and i must admit this is one of the best maiden shows i have seen so far. The energy level in that place was astounding if you ask me and the band was just fantastic. They only played music from the 80's and had the set from the Powerslave tour and man was it a good show. Pyrotechnics, backdrops changing depending on the album the current song came from, Bruce changing costumes for a bunch of different songs and they played almost every single one of my favorite songs. Included are a few pictures i took while i was there. Enjoy.

i saw them a couple of years back in toronto, motorhead and dio opened for them. i have to say that they are the greatest metal band of all time. there is no stage show that will ever top maiden, sorry.
i also saw em at maple leaf gardens in the early 80`s i believe it was the somewhere in time tour. i think a band called Waysted open for them, bruce came out in a jacket made of flashings lights or leds......it was awesome:tresbon:

I saw Iron Maiden at the 1988 Donington Monsters of Rock. It was their Seventh Son of a Seventh Son tour year. The stage was huge and they played great!!
It was something I will never forget...the sound of 100k plus jumping up and down to "Running Free". The earth practically shook. :) The British punters love that song. :D :D
