Fri 6 Jun – Iron Maiden
I first heard Iron Maiden was visiting Edmonton through the internet and radio advertisements and needless to say, I was astonished. I quickly bought tickets for my girlfriend and myself on the morning they were first available and began to eagerly await the show. When the day of the show came we both took the bus to University and then took the LRT to Coliseum stadium and lined up at the nearest entrance and to our surprise we were the second in line at this entrance (We arrived at 4:30pm). My girlfriend wanted a shirt and once the doors opened at 6:00pm we went in and got a Canadian Iron Maiden shirt quickly before taking our seats.
After awhile the opening act came out, the opener was Steve Harris' daughter Lauren Harris. The music wasn't too bad, the musicianship was good. However, I wasn't a fan of Lauren Harris's vocals. The guitar player was alright, I liked his solo on the first song -- but then I realized each solo he did on every song after sounded pretty much the same.
