I've seen them 7 times, but the last time was all the way back on the SSOASS tour.

Getting married & raising kids tends to channel your money in different directions.

However, my youngest just got her Master's a few weeks ago, so hopefully they'll bring the Legacy show to the states.

The venue title of especially the second sounds very different on setlist fm. Is that a mistake on there? Nice we were at the same gig, once. Bospop 2005. And three London gigs I guess. 2 in 2011 and 1 last year.

Setlist.fm is incorrect.

In 1996 Maiden did play in Miajadas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miajadas), not in Caceres, at the pretentiously named Football stadium (it was basically a field with a football pitch in it and a wall around it! :lol: ). Here is a poster for the gig, although Skin did not play.

In 1998 Maiden were supposed to play at the bullring in Valladolid. The very right wing mayor (a Franco supporter during the latter years of the fascist dictatorship) objected to a heavy metal band and its fans making use of the venue, so the promoters moved the show to the bullring of the nearby town of Laguna de Duero (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguna_de_Duero). This is a ticket stub from the gig, with a sticker with the words "Plaza de toros Laguna de Duero" covering the original venue and city.

A paltry 10 times since 1996. I've wasted my life :facepalm:

1996 The X Factour, Belfast
2001 Brave New World Tour, Sheperds Bush, London
2005 Early Days, Dublin
2006 AMOLAD, Dublin
2010 TFF 1st Leg, Sonisphere, Knebworth
2011 TFF 2nd Leg, Belfast
2016 TBOS, Glasgow & Aberdeen (Glasgow featured our very own Cried & Wizard)
2018 LOTB, Hellfest & Belfast

My brother is on 11, it's my lifes mission to finish ahead of him when all is said and done. Although if I win the lottery I will make it my lifes mission to finish ahead of GhostofCain.
 
This year I increased my tally to 18.

2006: SECC, Glasgow
2007: Download Festival, Donington Park
2010: Sonisphere Festival, Knebworth Park
2011: SECC, Glasgow
2011: AECC, Aberdeen
2013: Download Festival, Donington Park
2013: O2 Arena, London
2014: Sonisphere Festival, Knebworth Park

2016: Telenor Arena, Oslo
2017: 3Arena, Dublin
2017: Hydro Arena, Glasgow
2017: Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham
2017: O2 Arena, London
2018: Tele2 Arena, Stockholm
2018: Royal Arena, Copehagen
2018: AECC, Aberdeen
2018: Genting Arena, Birmingham

I don't think I'll do as much as four on a single tour again.

There are many people at the official fan club forum that have seen them live many more times than me. Thanks to them I realised that it is not a competition! :lol:

I had the dream for doing as many as possible on a tour but after seeing 2 shows per tour 2 years in a row, I think I have a limit. Couldn't do too many in a row. It's too intense an experience to do too often. I'd go see them tonight, to be fair.
Still, the dream is a South American gig.

What you reckon, Wizbag, whats yer limit?
