IRON MAIDEN: Melbourne Video Footage Available

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN performed the first of two shows last night (February 6) at the Rod Laver Arena.An excerpt from TheAge.com.au's review of the concert follows:

"There were enough guitar histrionics, smoke, flames, sparks and Spandex to give satirical metal band SPINAL TAP a run for its money.

"But IRON MAIDEN fans were taking this occasion very seriously. Some even spent $50 on the band's latest T-shirts and $20 on a stubbie holder — for which you could almost buy a slab of beer.

"But from the moment lead singer, passenger-jet pilot and former fencing champion Bruce Dickinson yelled out: "Scream for me, Melbourne," fans young and old — led by those sporting "first to the barrier" wristbands — showed their love in a massive banging of heads. When the moshpit flailed, their long hair in unison, it looked like they were whipping up a giant tumbleweed."
