Iron Maiden

Nakano Sunplaza

Tokyo, Japan

May 24th 1981

Remastered FM.

One for all the Maidenheads (a.k.a. Hy-Men)

The first time I encountered Iron Maiden they were opening for Judas Priest around 1979.

The only song we'd heard was Sanctuary.

I wasn't a huge fan but I saw them a couple more times 80/81.

I've never seen them with Bruce Dickinson.

I did see Bruce once with Samson though.

Paul Di'Anno was much better IMO. Here he is fronting the band

four months before his back-stabbing, so-called, bandmates sacked him. :)

Regardless of who's singing Iron Maiden make lifeless music with no soul.

It's just about gritting your teeth and getting through it

under the pitiful delusion that playing it faster will make it better.

I knew what the "guitar solo" would sound like before I heard it.

We already have Ace Frehley thanks.

Having said that, I quite enjoyed it as nostalgia.
