Default The Number Of The Beast (or why I wasn't at AR08)

THE IRON MAIDEN!

And yes, it was awesome.

Kicking off (after UFO's Doctor Doctor) with Churchill's Speech and a video of Bruce piloting their 'tour bus,' the legends of metal themselves started their rousing set with Aces High.
Every song played was pre-1992 so it was a greatest hits show of sorts. The pyrotechnics were superb as were the numerous stage sets (including mummy-Eddie) and if it could move, it did!
Tens of thousands of metal fans made the pilgrimage to Twickers and it seemed that many more could only dream.

The highs:
The whole of Maiden's set
The venue (Twickenham Stadium)
The catering
Within Temptation
The Rugby Store

The lows:
Avenged Sevenfold
Lauren Harris
The car parks post-show
Trying to find 2 mates in a crowd of 50,000

Overall verdict: AWESOME!
