To think how time puts things into perspective... back then, in the moment, it was the newest thing and very controversial - Iron Maiden are playing their latest album in its entirety, OMG! 13 years later, and some other albums and some major classic tours, now it's a relatively short and mostly undocumented rare event that people are now nostalgic for, and would want to have seen if given the chance but missed it back then.
I'm also way more appreciative of the album now that I was back then, but still I enjoyed the concert quite a lot. Also, the tank was FUCKING GLORIOUS. To people who missed it - the best video bootleg can't give the idea of how massively awesome it was to see Eddie rise up from the tank during Iron Maiden.
Oh, and a little tidbit I remembered now - in The Longest Day there's a line that goes "The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame", in the studio version Bruce sings is all quietly - at my show he screamed the second part, "The world's alight, the cliffs ERUPTS IN FLAME!!!!!!", and even if the were no pyros or explosions, I swear I just imagined it in my head thanks just to the sheer power of Bruce's voice and performance
