Almost a year ago I was one of the most fortunates to watch Iron Maiden in full concert in Bangalore.
I just can’t believe that its been less than a year and Iron Maiden came to India again! Wow! And to top it all, they started their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 2008 with India as the first concert. Amazing. Thanks guys. You guys seriously made mine and my friends and so many other fans in India happy.
The concert was simply brilliant. I have too many words describe the experience. Some of the songs I best liked were Clairvoyant, Revelations, The Trooper, Heaven can wait and Moonchild. Mind you, these were songs that I didn’t expect them to play. So it was f’ing amazing when they played these songs out of the blue. I went berserk. And all the “Scream for me India” and “Scream for me Mumbai”. Oh boy, what a voice Bruce Dickinson has. Jeez!
So we were six for this concert when we were double for the concert last year. From the core Chows it was just Anoop and I. We missed the others, especially Renie and Naveen who could not make it to Mumbai.

And when Eddie came on stage I almost cried.
That is Eddie playing the guitar with a little bit of help from Janick Gers.
The playlist was amazing with their 80′s songs. The songs I used to love when I was back in School. Ah, talk about bliss!

That was 1 hr and 45 mins of pure adrenaline. And best of all, how many of you can say that you were in a Heavy Metal concert and were able to see and participate in a mosh pit huh? We can, buddies, we can. Unwilling participants, yes, but still, we were there. YEAH!!!
Ask me or Anoop for more awesome details. Hehehe…
