Iron Maiden comes to Florida!

Posted by Joel Weiss on Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 10:10 PM

I was still discovering Iron Maiden when they last visited Florida - 13 years ago. Needless to say, my fifteen-year-old self didn't even know about the show, much less see it.  Plus, it was during the Blaze Bayley years.  Even in hindsight, I don't think I'd waste my time. But once classic-era frontman Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith rejoined in 1999, my black heart broke every time the band announced a new tour. Year after year, nothing in Florida. And as if I was being personally mocked by my favorite band, concerts in Boston where I went to college only occurred when I was back home in Fla.

Since their 1999 reunion, Maiden has released three albums - one awesome, two completely forgettable - and announced a few years ago they would tour less. I pretty much gave up any hope of seeing my all-time favorite band.

But on April 2, 2009, everything changes. Iron Maiden will conclude their much-hyped Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008-09 at the BankAtlantic Center in Fort Lauderdale. The tour features a classic Powerslave/World Slavery Tour-era stageshow and no songs recorded after 1992.

Tickets go on sale this Friday night at 11:58 PM. That's right. Two Minutes to Midnight.

"Fear of the Dark (live)" from A Real Live One (1993).

Awesome! I saw Maiden back in the mid 90s with my uncle when I was in Michigan. It was a religious experience, even then. I may have to sock away some duckets to make the trip in Ft. Lauderdale.

I will be online Friday night at 11:58 pm. That's for damn sure. I have no idea how much tickets will cost, but I'm not sure that's much of an object for me right now. I'm a man on a mission.

If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.
