Just got my tix to see Iron Maiden in Oakland. They're a bucket list band of mine, have wanted to see Eddie for a long time. The fact that they're touring with one of my favorite current bands, GHOST, sealed the deal that I had to see them this time around.

Anyone else catching them?

I'll be going to the St Paul show, got my pre sale tickets Tuesday.

Thank you for this. I didn't realize they were selling tickets. Just snagged mine for the Nashville show!

My second time around for the BOS tour, going to Tampa!

I've seen them 12 times since 1987. Saw them in February in Ft. Lauderdale

No. I live in Ohio. I'm going to try to get to the Charlottesville one in June

We are in Tampa for the show Sunday! I bought floor tickets and entered the contest for first to the barrier. Just found out that I won and my wife and I will be right at the stage! Not bad!

I'm going to the Chicago show on Thursday.

I hate being a soft target though!

Saw opening night of the U.S. leg of the tour a week ago in Bristow, VA. Amazing show. They really know how to entertain. I saw them in 2012 on the Maiden England tour, and Bruce's voice has actually improved since then. His energy and voice are amazing, especially given his age and his bout with throat cancer. I'm 14 years his junior and there's no way I could run around like that every night.

I'm going next month. Then Slayer a week after that.

The show is tonight. Some of the Maiden Fans went to a bar last night called Crowbar. The wife and I went thinking it was just a bar. Wrong, it was a small live band bar. The wife discovered she actually likes death metal! After the 1st band, I said lets leave and she said no. We ended up seeing all 6 bands!

One by one by the star dogged moon
To quick for a.groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye
Four times fifty living men
And I heard nor sigh nor groan
With heavy thump a life lump
They dropped down one by one.

Seeing them tomorrow night in Nashville. I'm pumped. How long did Ghost perform prior to Maiden. Not real excited to see them.

Ghost played for about an hour on opening night.

Ghost is defiantly different. We were on the rail right in the center of the stage. It was awesome! For some d dudes, Maiden tore it up line there's no tomorrow! I got some really good pictures I'll put up later.

About two weeks to go for me, and a bonus, GHOST is headlining their own show a few days before in a nearby city.

The St Paul show was great and am going to see them again at the Lincoln show.

Had never heard Ghost before but they opened up the show with Square Hammer and I was hooked.

Damn they were here Wednesday and I had a boy scout thing with my son thursday. I saw them once years ago with Dio as the opener. Amazing show still have the shirt that probably wont ever fit me again. Hope they come back around sometime.
