What's this?

Got to see the '85 "Powerslave" concert in Gboro... wow what a spectacle


It was straight massive. And delivered by a band hitting their full stride.

That's what makes that Live After Death recording so good..... they were on on on.....

I like telling this small story too.... Twisted Sister opened on the leg of that huge tour I saw. The "staged" thing Dee Snider did during their set was so lame, and clearly pre-rehearsed. They are rocking out to whatever, and he stops the show, stops the song, tells the light guy to bring the house lights up, and proceeds to go nuts berating someone in the front row at the barrier fence for not head banging enough for Dee's liking. Totally goes off and shames the "target" and fires up the crowd by telling him that he needs to get the F out of there, and let some of the crazy MF'ers in the back have his spot.

Target skulks away in shame. Lights back down, song starts again.

So freaking staged it was silly. But they did it. Probably night after night after night. Lame.

But Maiden? Ha. Nothing lame about that show. Absolutely incredible.
