At Last I saw the gods with my very own eyes, that also playing all the favourite numbers. Thought of sharing this small experience of mine. Yesterday I saw the Iron Maiden Show held at MMRDA Grounds, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai. They literally ROCKED the crowd. There were almost half a million people (could be slightly less). First time I saw so many Maiden fans all at once. We banged our head to death. They performed some of my favourite numbers. The crowd response was mindblowing. Everybody were humming numbers exactly where needed. The band was DAMN TIGHT. Dickinson was as good in show-offs as was in his vocal-ing job. The stage was HUGE with artistic elements and there were HUGE painted backdrops of each album's theme when they were performing from each of these albums. Moreover Dickinson was dressing up a bit different for each album's numbers. STEVE HARRIS was the man yesterday (as some of you might know my inclination towards that instrument and that I'm a fan of his). Those bass-lines were really really impressive.
Anyways to conclude it all, I'm a Maiden Fan since I was in my IXth Standard. Never could I imagine a day would come I'd be even seeing a Maiden show. This is an experience of a lifetime. If you haven't seen a maiden show in your life being a metal-head, you are missing out a BIG part in your life. There were loads of merchandise to buy. T-Shirts were 600 bucks (my good lord, have mercy) and caps were 300 bucks. I ended up buying a cap as it's very rare. Maiden T-Shirts can be bought from any T-Shirt shop (kind of over-rated since a long time now).
OK, lets see a picture now. I thought it would be risky to bring a digi-cam up there so showing you a photo from the net only. Trust me or not, the crowd was very much crowded like in that pic only. And even the stage was 80% similar to that one in looks as well as size.
Rock On Guys! :D
