Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! /chants

One of my all time favourite bands, run to the hills was the encore?

I was there myself with my wife and 2 kids. Very disappointed with the play list. I canâ€™t get in to the new album at all, for me itâ€™s my least favourite Maiden album. To play a new album from start to finish is a big risk. Iron Maiden obviously like it but I donâ€™t know anyone else who really does.
It was my kids first rock concert so I felt sorry for them, and how can Maiden finish without playing Run To The Hills or Number Of The Beast?

Trying to remember what they played:

A Matter Of Life & Death â€“ Full Album
Fear Of The Dark
Iron Maiden
The Evil That Men Do
Hallowed Be Thy Name

Canâ€™t remember if they played anymore.

If I new what they were going to play before I purchased the tickets I wouldnâ€™t have gone.

Fear of the Dark is good live

I saw them last year, they played all their greats, and had a 12 foot eddie walking about on stage with a big bloody knife, and in the encore a massive inflatable demon popped out from behind the stage and swooped down on the people in the front!

Fear of the dark is a damn good song, live or not, but run to the hills is by far the best.

Gutted it wasn't a good show, maiden represent some of the last true rock bands, no need to change something that works so well

Was my first Maiden concert and I thought it rocked hard. Trivium were a let down for me though, only liked the last song they did. They sound like they want to be metallica imo.

All in all worth the cash

Good gig imo especially when they started cracking out the old hits

Went to see Kasabian and The Fratellis on Thursday as well both great bands, deffo want to see The Fratellis when they headline there own gig up my way but Kasabian were spot on got everything right and the crowd was bouncing.

I'd recommend them, they were playing to a half empty arena and a fresh crowd but they were great.
