The biggest disaster show Maiden ever did?

[dickinson1978]

Janick falling off the stage should be mentioned. Not sure if they was 99 or 00?

And bruce falling over nicko drum kit. And nicko saying "last gig i was visited by flying bruce this time without the plane" lol

Could have ended up much worse, but Bruce dislodging Nicko's gong in 2023 causing it to fall on Nicko was interesting.

Checking YouTube, the Bruce gong bit went sideways more than I thought.

Gotta be that 1984 Italy drunk gig that featured Hallowed Be Thy Trainwreck. Apparently that gig prompted the band to never dring before going on stahe again.

That "Are you sure?" at the beginning is pure gold.

Acording to google :
dying bootlegs bruce drunk +4 You are referring to a classic live bootleg from the No Prayer on the Road tour (1990–1991), where Bruce Dickinson sounds heavily intoxicated and goes on a legendary rant.The Bootleg: This drunken on-stage banter can be heard on several unofficial releases, frequently circulating among fans under titles like War Machine, Wembley or similar 1990 tour dates.The Rant: Before launching into a track like "No Prayer for the Dying" or "Holy Smoke," a slurring Bruce rants to the crowd about their newly adopted lifestyle. Users on the MaidenFans Forum remember him stating: "We don't drink anymore, since September".The Context: The 1990 No Prayer era was an incredibly stripped-back, transitional period for Iron Maiden. Bruce heavily favored a raspy, AC/DC-style vocal delivery on Tattooed Millionaire and the Maiden album, matching this gritty, "we're doing things differently now

Sonisphere Pori, Finland 2010, big storm. Second stage where Mötley Crue was supposed to play was destroyed. Bruce introduced Alice Cooper, in attempt to calm the crowd. Maiden played with Slayer's gear, after getting all the hairdryers in the city, stage was very stripped. Crew plane tipped to it's side at the airport. If I remember correctly someone died (days after) and few got injured. Rumour was they visited the hospital to see them. Bruce once said it's the one show he'll never forget or something like that.

I'd forgot about this one. Massive respect to everyone involved for pulling together and making that show work. It's during disasters like this that really shows what crews are made of.

I love this gem from 2018. I guess Nicko’s bass drum gave out around 6:19, which caused him to do an early snare hit at 6:24 which derails the whole thing. They find their way back and eventually the bass drum gets fixed around 8:10.

Sound like a james bond theme

Anyway. I think Bruce blinded Nicko with the lightning cross

IIRC, they also profoundly messed up FTGGOG. Still, was a fantastic gig.

I was there and I can actually be seen in the video. As the wind started to pick up, I watched vendor stalls, tents, and other objects being blown around and even lifted into the air. It was quite a shocking sight to witness from such a close distance. The storm seemed to come out of nowhere, and as it approached, the tents and other structures started to move violently. I was there when it happened and could do nothing but wait and hope the storm would pass. It was quite a frightening situation. I even saw one person being resuscitated by emergency personnel, which made the whole experience even more shocking.

It was a long day of waiting afterward, and for a while it was uncertain whether any of the bands would be able to perform at all. Fortunately, we eventually got full shows from the headliners, Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden. In the end, it turned out to be one of the best concert experiences I've ever had. By the time the evening performances started, the light was dimmer and there was a bit of fog in the air, which created a fantastic atmosphere. It felt much better than the usual bright and sunny Finnish summer evening and made the shows even more memorable.
