26 years ago today!

£12.50 for the ticket if I remember correctly.

Jesus, 26 years!!! I remember Wolfsbane being destroyed in spit but they just drove on. They had just released "All Hells Breaking Loose..." And they were being touted as the next big thing. Iirc Bruce stopped the show at the start of the third song (Wrathchild?).
I still have the ticket stub and I also managed to catch one of Nicko's sticks.

Yeah it was during Wrathchild and then again during Bring Your Daughter (along the crowd kept singing along during BYD which was cool as the album hadn't been released yet and it was the first time any of use had heard it).

I thought Wolfsbane were quite good and actually bought some of their stuff and went to see them in the Rock Garden a few years later.

It wasn't a B-side and I don't think it has been on any compilation album. Is there a chance the CD you had was part of the 'First Ten Years' release?

Nope that wasn't it. It had massacre by lizzy on it too. Just done a quick ebay search and found a pail dianno album called the classics:the maiden years....anyone have a copy of this to rate it's content and quality? Are they origional recordings?

I actually had most of them when they came out on vinyl at one point

Oh yeah, Wolfsbane were a very good band at that point. I thought they were cool out that night and I went out and bought the ep after that.

I dug out my Maiden vinyl a few weeks ago and had forgotten that I had right few gems in it. I have most of the First Ten Years set. I also found out that I have Irish versions of Piece of Mind, Powerslave & Live After Death. Half tempted to cash in

montec · 24-09-2016 7:11pm

On another note, I had RTE Radio 1 on this morning and I nearly crashed the car when I heard Marian Finucane reading out the lyrics to Run to the Hills and giving away tickets to the Dublin show!!!

A lot vinyl was manufactured in Ireland back then from what I remember

scudzilla · 24-09-2016 7:57pm

This ticketless thing, i'm not so sure, i use touts a LOT and have never paid full price any time i've used them, just know how to deal with them, have your max price and be prepared to walk away, here's some of the prices i've paid for a PAIR of tickets
Slash @ O2 - 40Euro, Kiss@O2 - 50Euro, Metallica@Marley - 50Euro and Foo's at Marley also 50Euro

Now each of them gigs i bought physical tickets, and here lies the problem, EVERY one of those tickets was a complimentary, there's too many tickets flying round for gigs, given out to people who have no use for them at all

Yeah, There was a vinyl pressing plant in Ferrybank (Waterford) at one point.
The Irish versions of Maiden's releases almost always had a beige label and "Made in Ireland" printed on them. Also, the versions of Powerslave and Live After Death that I have don't have the inner picture sleeves, only the plain white ones.
I have seen of these go for decent money.

Fairly sure my copy of Live After Death is a white sleeve. What constitutes good money for this?

Anyone know if there's a history of part 4 available

Don't think so - they've gone up as far as Maiden England (so included the period from 1985-88). The next installment will probably depend on them re-releasing the Donnington 1992 video and tacking something onto that.

I just don't see the 1990's being as interesting to most people!

jayobray · 27-09-2016 9:32am

Seems the likes of the Sound Cellar won't be selling tickets, so we're stuck with Ticketmaster's extortion charges.

That Donnington video is appalling. The grainy B&W shots are poor and obviously not shot at the same gig as you can see a roof in some of the shots.

I agree that the 90's weren't very positive for the band but it would be interesting to hear how they coped from being among the biggest rock bands in the world to being almost irrelevant with the rise of grunge and nu-metal etc. and going from playing arenas to much smaller venues.

I'd like to hear about Blaze's time in the band too and how it all ended with him.

lizzylad84 · 27-09-2016 12:17pm

I think it's a shame if it's not done. Maybe harris won't release Donnington due to inferior quality but aa stated it would be nice to hear about janic joining/ bruce leaving/ blaze jiining/leaving

jack presley · 27-09-2016 12:36pm

I'm with 3 so have a presale code but I was wondering are they restricted to specific seats in a specific area or can I choose a seat anywhere?

This gig won't sell out quickly if at all so if I can only buy seats at the very back in the presale, I'll hold off and pick up a better one on Friday. Has anyone used the 3 presale for tickets before?

I'm old and decrepit so won't be for standing tickets.

ozzy jr · 27-09-2016 1:13pm

I think this will sell out super quick.

Maiden Fc presale you could only buy from certain sections which weren't great by all accounts. I was getting standing so didn't bother me.

Not 100% but I don't think there are specfic seating sections for the 3 pre sale (more a few random seats scattered here and there). If u buy the tickets the min they go on sale in the pre sale u might be lucky and get good ones. It's really the luck of the draw

Tickets in the central blocks (D,E,C) are difficult to get for bigger concerts and normally go to vips/sponsors/fan clubs etc. There are no bad seats in the 3arena and you still have a good view in the very back (the corner sections are a bit of a pain) I always get allocated to block F (sitting there for the Nickelback, A7X and Black Sabbath upcoming shows)

For 2010 gig i got tickets the last row of Block C in the maiden fans pre sale

Dreading the ques with this idiotic paperless ticket system (can see them not asking for ID and just scanning the credit cards)

blastman · 27-09-2016 1:41pm

As someone who collects gig tickets, this paperless sh!te does not please me.

I just pulled up that Donnington gig on Spotify (other music services are available). It sounds awful, muddy production. And they butchered the post-production on it by tacking on a 'thank you & good night' from 'Live After Death' and the end of 'Run to the hills' (which ends CD1).

The story of Maiden in 90's is interesting of course - the difficult years lead to the eventual reunion and return to form and success. And 'Sign of the Cross' is a great track

Is there anything in that video that's not mortifyingly embarrassing? How the f**k did harris think yer man could sing those songs in the original keys?
