Very Cool!

And yeah, Bruce looks dangerously thin.

I remember thinking he looked really old when I saw them up close last month.  He looks fragile too in that pic.  However, watching how he moves on stage, it's hard for me to think he isn't fairly healthy.

Is it just me or does the woman 4th from the right look a lot like Nicole Kidman?

Hmm...that's pretty coincidental.

Considering that she's married to Keith Urban, how is it coincidental?
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

I thought that was common knowledge about Keith and Nicole but I guess not.

Yeah, me too.  He didn't show that on stage, though.

I've seen Keith four (?) times now (he is to my wife, as Margot Robbie is to me) and he's really a good performer in his own right. It's nice to see some love for a very very different genre.

EDIT:  And yes, I knew about Nicole too; she get's swore at a lot in my house (see previous paragraph).

I barely know who Keith Urban is, and my knowledge of celebrity marriages is roughly on par with my knowledge of European symphonic power metal.

Just got my 1 ticket for Thursday Sep 5th at the Tacoma Dome.

Ticketbastard wanted $150 (after service charges) to sit at the very top of one of the closest side sections.   But Stub Hub had a 3rd row ticket in the same section for just $50 more.    Ya, it's a lot, but it's my first time seeing Maiden, it sounds like a great tour with a great setlist, and at a time when I can just barely squeeze it into the budget.    I just hate the modern day ticketing system.   I won't even get a physical ticket stub as a souvenir.   

Anyone else going to be at that show?

Thought long and hard about this one but after seeing them on the last few stops here decided to sit this one out. A couple other personal reasons came into play too. But based on what I've seen so far it looks like a hell of a show so I know you'll enjoy it.

Can't recall where you live but if it is anywhere in King County I assume you'll head to the Dome sometime around 3am that morning?

Yeesh.  A lot of money to spend on a ticket.  My ticket is like $70.00 and this is where I am.  I wouldn't pay this much for a ticket, but it's Iron Maiden and I have no clue when they are going to come back to LA in any capacity.  Stubhub has cheapest tickets go for like $200 fees including for sections closest to the stage. I wonder if it is slightly cheaper seeing them on a new album tour.

It'll be worth it, Ang. My ticket was more $$ (long story) and my seat was basically the same.

Oh yeah, absolutely.  I count my blessings that I got them on the first day of sale rather than wait it out otherwise prices for that seat would probably be triple what I paid on the secondary markets.

I got tickets for that show about 2/3 of the way back up on the right side of the dome.  I don't know if I'm gonna make it or not. My eight year old dog (ultimate best friend) got really sick and is trying to recover but it hasn't been a smooth ride. Over 3,000 in vet bills so far. Her condition is improving but it could go either way.. Music isn't even important to me at this time..  :(

Look, I get real life, I do (and Arch, my thoughts go out to you, seriously), but if you're going to spend on ANY show, this is the one to do it.  I put in $150, through Stubhub about an hour and a half before show time, and in hindsight, I'd've paid more knowing what I know now.

I know, it's all taste and what not, and I totally agree.  But I'm not talking to those that aren't Maiden fans to begin with.  ESPECIALLY if you're a fan and haven't been able to see them before, this is, in my opinion , not "just another show"; this is the kind of show that the others are sort of judged against.
