Iron Maiden - Los Angeles 30 May Iron Maiden - Los Angeles 31 May

Caught the last half hour and the encores... and didn't have to pay! Incredible atmosphere in the Rod Laver Arena and the stage set up was a updated (and much better) version of the 84/85 World Slavery Tour as can be seen on the new 'Live After Death' DVD. Anyone who gets the chance to see this tour will be absolutely blown away... this could be the best live act since Led Zep strutted the world stage... no kidding. As they say 'Up the Irons' you won't be disapointed with this excitement machine.

Just caught Iron Maiden's 'Somewhere Back In Time' tour in Melbourne last Thursday (7th Feb)...totally bloody awesome!

Was really hoping to catch their second concert at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne next Thursday evening 7th Feb. Just found out the concert will have them on stage at 9.00 PM and my flight lands at 20.50 so no chance as far as I can see to be at the stadium in time... so much for my little bonus reason for being in Melbourne a day early to catch this one but probably wouldn't have scored a ticket outside the arena anyways. Nice thought though... saw them in NZ around '93... these guys know how to rock!

Police... last night... Auckland, NZ.

Saw them last night.... 30,000 at Western Springs, Auckland... far, far, better than I ever expected it to be! Led Zeppelin played at the same venue in Feb '72 before the biggest crowd at the time for a rock concert in NZ.

The Black Crowes... Auckland April 5th.

Saw them rock hard and fookin loud in '89 at The Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu... ears were ringing for a week... the concert was almost beyond the pain threshold!! I've seen alot of bands but nothing that I ever thought had damaged my ears apart from this one!
