This was one of the biggest concerts of my life. Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned to the and new album was coming the following year. I was so damn excited. It was an incredible night. Went with my brother, the first (or second I guess) in a long line of Maiden shows – you’ll see…

It was so damn hot in the Orpheum – my first time there. My bro actually left one song early to try to breath. I wouldn’t dare. After the show a guy was selling water bottles. We both them all.

Clutch opened for them but I didn’t appreciate it at the time. They were just in the way of Maiden!
