The Metal Files

I was recently asked what my first Iron Maiden show was and it was this one, the Seventh Son tour.  I actually had tickets to see them on the Somewhere in Time Tour and had to give them up because of my grades.  That was a reality in my life growing up.  Looking back, I understand why it happened, but as a kid, I was pretty pissed to miss my favorite band.

Killer Dwarfs opened up this show.  They were terrible.  All I cared about was Maiden and they delivered…they always do.

$14.50 for a ticket?  Back then that seemed like a lot.  For many of the shows I see these days, I’d love to pay that!
