Iron Maiden Rocks Bangalore. Review.

“SCREAM for me B A N G A L OR E !” Bruce’s trademark for every city, drew huge response from the Iron Maiden Fans.

I am blogging this from Bangalore now, well, the about the concert:

Simply Awesome !!

I wanted to experience for myself Maiden’s reputation for great Live Performances & boy! they did not disappoint at all.
After first 3 songs from their current album, they sang the old favourites which drove the crowd into a frenzy. Here are the oldies which they performed:

Wrathchild
The Trooper
Number of the Beast
Fear of the Dark
Run to the Hills
Iron Maiden
2 minutes to midnight
Evil that men do.

For all of the above songs, the crowded joined in singing the lyrics, particularly for ‘Fear of the Dark’, was amazing in which the crowd did the chorus for “oh oh oh …o ..oh..” which was simply great.

I never expected so many faithful Iron Maiden fans, who knew the lyrics well.

The most unforgettable sight was to see around 10,000 plus mobile phones capturing the moment at which Iron Maiden came on stage. There was a sea of Blue mobile phone screens which could be seen & it was breath taking. I guess, there were approximately around 20,000 people, however, we shall have to wait for DNA to give the exact figures.

Bruce was energetic as usual, dancing & jumping all over the stage, at one point, he did climb up the metal scaffolding & slide back down. The music was loud & the typical maiden line up of 4 instead of the 3 guitarists. Eddie made an appearance as a soldier with a gun, however, he was briefly there for one song only.

The stage prop had background default image as their current album one. Later for The Trooper, it had the Trooper album single cover image & also has Bruce wearing a red jacket & hoisting 2 British flags. After midway, the stage prop had a battle tank gun which could revolve & Eddie as a soldier sprung up, the crowd liked this.

Bruce said that they would be back in India within 17 months. I hope they keep their promise, as I want to attend the next Iron Maiden Live concert in India too.
