Been listening to Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson solo stuff a lot this past week. I had planned on taking last Wednesday and Thursday off to see Iron Maiden live in Chicago Wednesday night. I got to go, but unfortunately my wife's grandmother passed away on Monday. So we didn't get to hang around and do any shopping or sightseeing Thurday. My nephew and I had to get up early Thursday morning and head back to Missouri. I got home, took another shower, shaved and headed back out to St. Louis for the visitation followed by the funeral service on Friday.
As for Maiden? F'n A! They rocked the house. I don't go to many concerts whatsoever and Iron Maiden has been my favorite band since 1985, shortly after Live After Death was released on cassette and VHS. So this was my first Maiden concert and my first concert period in over six years. They didn't disappoint.
