Iron Maiden -- Auburn, WA -- June 22nd, 2010

We have Concord Pavillion which is quite a way away from San Francisco. I'm pretty sure Iron Maiden uses it because it is close enough to draw from the East Bay, San Jose, San Francisco and Sacramento.

The Shoreline is actually in a well populated area, right next to where Google's headquarters are. Maiden, Rush and Priest have played Concord the past few times around because it's cheaper to book, slightly smaller, and Maiden does because the Shoreline doesn't have a pit.

Looks like you took Tidal Wave out of your sig...

Yes, it is in the middle of nowhere. It's probably further than half an hour from Pittsburgh too, it's not really that close.

It probably takes me about 30 min to get there going south down the highway the whole way from my house.

Depending on which way you're coming from, it'll be easier to find

If worse comes to worse and they don't get a chance to wash them they probably just spray them down with some febreeze or something

I have the 8 DVD roadie filmed Megadeth Rust In Peace tour set. At one point during the European tour, Dave and a crew member are talking about securing a washer and dryer to take on the US tour. So I guess some bands haul around washing machines with them.

During the "audience interaction" part of Running Free, Bruce said he bought his clothes for this tour at an army surplus store in Texas. Make sense, because his camo pants are the same style that US Army soldiers wear.

That's pretty random. How was that relevant to audience interaction?

[powerslave_85]

Well, they did the thing where they slow it down to just the bass and drum part, and he introduced the band, ranted, and had the crowd do the "I'm running free, yeah!" part at random intervals. Kind of like the version on Live After Death.

He said that about the Bobby hat he was wearing at Concord.

[powerslave_85]

Haha, damnit, I hate when bands do the same banter at every show. He said the same thing at our show.
