Good point! We're 13 hours ahead of the UK here in New Zealand - so a midday UK announcement on the 7th would actually be 1am on the 8th in NZ......

I got into Maiden in 1987. Listened to all but one of the existing albums and fell deeply in love with 7th Son upon release. The one album that I just didn't get into was Killers. I was so busy following the band's new releases that I almost forgot about the album. Some time around 2000 I...

LOL! That's an interesting view.

Excellent performance, excellent stream. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it with a couple of mates, my son, and several cans of Panhead. Loved Adrian's solo in Wickerman, brilliant stuff!! Had to laugh at the volume of Steve's mic on Run to the Hills. He was louder than Bruce in the mix! Funny...

Helloween are getting a much better reception than I thought they would.

The mighty Helloween are in now. Opened with three Kiske-era classics.

Watching Anthrax now. The picture is brilliant, the sound is low and a poor mix. But overall it is an excellent feed. No need to register an account or any nonsense like that.

Yep, they are amazing and the entire country is very proud of them!!!

Oh, funny! Hope you're not too sore this morning. I have some bruising from being pushed against the barrier, and my Trooper ViP number plate holder is a twisted wreck of cheap metal. Worst part of that deal is holding on to the merch bag in a surging crowd. Enjoy the Portland gig!

Yep, I'm from NZ.

Tacoma was awesome! I was on the barrier, slightly left of centre. There was quite a bit of crowd surging so it was uncomfortable at times, but not too bad. The guy behind me was on crutches - he had a recent surgery with 12 screws put into his heel. The crazy bugger lasted about half the show...

Have fun! I'm on a bus from Seattle to Tacoma. Going to the Trooper ViP party, so will be in the venue straight after you and your FTTB mates. Look for a New Zealand tour shirt and say hi! My kids absolutely loved the Vancouver show! I spent about a third of the show watching them singing...

About to head to the airport for the 23 hour travel from New Zealand to Vancouver. First time seeing Maiden for my two kids, they are so pumped about seeing the band! In two days' time we will be on the other side of the planet rocking out to the best band in the world,!

Haha, thanks for posting. That is hilarious! Love the look on Janick's face - Where the @@@@ is Bruce??? And Adrian just shaking his head as Bruce finally starts singing again.... Lol!

I've heard others say the same......

Decided to give the Trooper VIP thing a try for the Tacoma gig. Travelling to the show alone and no decent pubs in the area = ideal time to give it a go.

Yeah, it looks like mainly eateries near the Bowl rather than pubs. Might need to explore a bit. Good luck with the FTTB draw!

I've found myself a cheap room for the night, about one mile from the Tacoma Dome. I'm keen to meet up with others that will be at the Tacoma show! I don't know the area, will look for a nearby bar etc.

Great, thanks for the reply Collin. I spoke with my family - they want to stay in Seattle rather than in Tacoma as there are more family-friendly things to do there. So I'm going to try to find a cheap room in a YMCA or similar rather than pay for a second hotel room. Long shot time - is...

Hi all - I'm going to the Tacoma gig on the 5th of September. Trying to decide where to stay. My family wants to stay in downtown Seattle; I would then take bus/train to and from the concert. My question is: is this a realistic option? I can't find information about bus/train that would get me...
