The Metal Files

This was my 2nd Maiden show.  Two pals of mine drove up with me to the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA for this one.   Anthrax was opening on their Persistence of Time Tour.  I remember during Anthrax’s set that many of the folks in the front rows were sitting down and Belladonna had made some comments to the crowd about it.  Security was pretty tight for this show.  We had pretty decent seats up and off to the side.  At the end of Tailgunner (the opening song), they dropped stickers down from the roof and that’s what’s under the ticket in the photo below.
