I was at a few if them and that Earls Court 2006 gig(last night) was special. Davey's 50th and the last performance of AMOLAD. I love the album so was a real treat for me. Last years London show was fantastic too. Great night in the Cart and Horse and the brilliant gig. Just a great weekend all around

I did both AMOLAD gigs in London in 2006 and they were magnificent. The first night with the power cut was extra special and is a top 5 Maiden gig for me.
 
I have seen around 50 shows now so I'll keep a tight list.

Paris Bercy 1999 - unbelievable it was happening.

Hammersmith Apollo 2005 - Early Days set, really intense show, closest to being in a time machine to the 80s!

Madison Square Garden 2008 - Somewhere Back in Time set, classic venue, energised crowd, saw Mariner for first time!

Tallinn / Lisbon 2018 - Legacy Set, first ever show and the other excellent show I saw, best production Maiden ever had!

London Stadium 2025 - fresh in my mind and real capstone for the band (and for me, I grew up 2 miles from there in the 80s! :)
 
The following were special to me.

  • Reading Festival 2005. My first Maiden gig and I loved the setlist.
  • Ears Court 2006 night 1. The power cut was hilarious and I have fond memories running to get the train home.
  • O2 Book of Souls first night 2017. I was blown away by TRATB and the title track.
  • LOTB O2 2018 first night. It is still the best Maiden gig I have seen. The setlist was nearly perfect and the band were on fire.

Yeah, interesting indeed, the longer I think about. I definitely loved every single Maiden show I ever attended yet, also those from the past 20 years, but the older days had some special kind of magic to them, idk.

I get that, such is life.

But my opinion is far from being representative anyway, I mean, my favorite Maiden album is No Prayer For The Dying, and I guess I'm pretty much alone with that choice among us all... :)

It was mine for a while in the 90s, so I get that, too.

And 56 times is a lot, true, but on the other hand I'm criminally underdeveloped about other bands live experiences. I'm only interested in Maiden and nothing else... I only go to concerts when it's Maiden.

This is where we differ. Rarely a month would go by without me attending a gig of some sort
