That's an understatement! That gig was ****ing unbelievable! Officially the most awesome thing I have ever had the good fortune to witness. The full expected two hours - all of Life and Death, sounding better than I ever thought possible, the classics were just... perfection and there was a phenomenal atmosphere to cap it off - I'm not into audience participation, but suffice to say, I woke up on Friday with a sore neck and very little voice... Will shall be returning to Maiden as soon as is at all possible - and even ended up buying overpriced merchandise, though annoyingly the shirt now needs washingkaz said:
Only downside was forgetting how tiring it was - I am amazed by 5 near 50 year old blokes, who were running around on the stage, using up far more energy than me for the 2 full hours - I ended up having to sit down for a few songs, and pick a weak[er] track to have a drink break in, which was annoying.
And Trivium didn't sound very good either... I think they quickly detected the fans wanted nothing to do with them, and gave a somewhat lacklustre performance, which failed to get much better as it progressed!
Scream For Me Manchester!!!
*still somewhat hyper*
Just woken up from Maiden last night, and I am truely ****ed! I ache all over, can't speak and my head is humming, it was well worth it though. Best gig I've ever seen and I will definately be going to see them again. The show was pretty much perfect, well, almost...
The sound was, well, what sound! The main electricity cable running into Earls Court set fire mid set and they had to shut off the sound for about 20 minutes. So poor old Brucey had to try and talk to 19,000 through a megaphone, and resort to playing football on stage. They kept it together very well though and you could tell it was making them unconfortable, and the crowd was very good about it. When they were playing though, the sound was perfect and so, so loud. LOVE IT!
Due to the break in the middle, they ended up running over by about 30 minutes and didn't finish til just past 11. But luckily we were being picked up outside the venue so we didn't miss the coach or anything. They still played the same songs in the same order, and to me it was a perfect setlist for the AMOLAD tour. Fear of the Dark and Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg were the best songs of the night.
Can't wait to see them at Download!!!

Ugh, I kid you not I was probably one of 10 people under 21. The rest were red necks getting drunk.
AWFUL.
5 coverbands, 1 was ok at best, the rest should not be allowed to touch a guitar ever again. Clutch was ok, but not my type of music.
I won't be going to another Clutch show anytime soon...
