    Yeah, I’m heading up. Don’t know the stage times of each band but I did get an email awhile back advising that the doors opening time was changed to 6pm. So maybe that means it’s kicking off a bit earlier but I’d say Maiden won’t be on until around the usual 8.45pm

    I reckon the early opening is because it's a ticketless gig so it takes longer to get everyone in.

    Not sure if this is allowed here but does anyone have a spare ticket to sell? The paperless system is making it very difficult to find one.

    That's the whole idea behind the paperless ticketing thing. As you usually need the payment card used for the purchase to gain entry, so it cuts down on touting.

    What if your wife bought the tickets but she's not going. Her cards in her maiden name (see what I did there)

    You bring her card... or you don't get in!

    Any recommendations for rock / metal bars after the gig - other than Katy's / Limelight ?

    It was class. Where eagles dare, The Clansman, The sign of the cross & The flight of Icarus the highlights for me as we don’t see them played too often these days. Of course all the usuals sounded great too!!

    Best set I've seen maiden play live. Absolutely class. Aces high was my highlight.

    Wonder will they release a live CD of this your? Perhaps DVD too as it would tie in with the history of iron msiden?

    Great gig, the food stalls and beer service was atrocious. Really poor.

    Merch stand was a nightmare as well, although I suppose Maiden fans do like to buy a t-shirt or three.... :D

    The show itself though, absolutely stonking!!

    I arrived while KE were just starting and the merch stand just inside the door was mobbed but the ones upstairs were grand and I got served pretty quickly. No problems getting a beer as well in one of the bars away from the centre entrance.

    €41 seems a bit steep for a talking event.

    Don't think so (I've already got one!). Says a lot for gig prices these days when I thought €41 seemed ok!

    It's an interesting read. Plenty of stuff left out that I'd like to have read about but if you're into maiden and biographies then it's worth the read...

    I was disappointed by it if I'm being honest. The one thing I was eager to read about was him rejoining Maiden and how that came about and the meetings leading up to and after etc. But it was covered in one paragraph and that was that.

    Also, there was a lot of stuff that repeated what any Maiden fan would already know. For example, did he really need to go into the car crash while making TNOTB and the bill came to £666. Who hasn't heard that a million times before?

    Same here, very disappointed with it. Maybe it's something to do with hand writing it and only the 1 draft.

    I liked the book, but the sections concerning his leaving Maiden seemed a little 'censored' if I'm honest. It was a pretty acrimonious split at the time (iirc Nicko went ballistic in the press).

    The aviation stuff is very enjoyable if you're into that kind of thing (I am). But there's not much about Maiden that was a revelation as such.

    It's available for 6 quid on book depositry. Worth picking up. I recently finished Mick walls "run to the hills", which also skimmed through Adrian and Bruce rejoining.
