    Saw them in East Ham at the height of NWOBHM late 70s with Paul Dianno singing. Great Band. Also as the Sherman Tankers in the Red Lion in Gravesend. I was a proper old headbanger.

    Me too !!

  • Seeing that setlist I’m really looking forward to seeing them at the Olympic Stadium next month. Think it’ll be my 14th time seeing them.

    Random fact, in my music industry days I once had to fill in on guitar tech duties for Dave Murray when they were doing a session at Abbey Road Studios. Watching Maiden play Hallowed Be Thy Name from a couple of feet away in a studio environment like that was one of my absolute career highlights and shall never be forgotten

    Wow. What an experience. 

    I had the Soundhouse Tapes. Their first EP. Sold it for a fiver years later when I was getting rid of my vinyl. God knows why or what it would be worth now.

    I saw them 5 times in 6 nights at Hammersmith Odeon in 1986. One of the many reasons why my hearing is knackered. 

    Also, Steve Harris sister was the receptionist where I worked. Never got any freebies.

    I'll be at the London Stadium gig next month. My first time seeing them.

    I'm not a die hard fan, but feel like its one of those bands I need to see. 

    Also got tickets today to see Metallica at the same stadium next year. Best live band in the world IMO.

    I saw Liam Gallagher there in 2022. Booked a coach service from North Greenwich with return. 

    Absolute nightmare getting out though. Took 3 hours just to get out of the car park.

    Anyone going to Knebworth tomorrow?

    Must admit, I'm not relishing the thought of standing in a field all day in 30+ degrees heat and no shade ..... AND then there's missing the England game too .......

    No, wanted to see them this year but this is their only UK date. Don't envy you having to spend all day outside in this weather and getting home probably won't be easy. Went to the premiere of their new documentary a couple of months ago, great night.

    Saw them at Sonisphere a few years back - was probably the tenth time I'd seen them and the best. Not bothered since then - the older they get, the better they ain't.
