So nearly two weeks ago I went to see Iron Maiden perform at Twickenham Stadium in London, it was the only UK date on their world Somewhere Back in Time tour. They were supported by Lauren Harris, Within Temptation, and Avenged Sevenfold. I was located towards the rear of the stadium in the stands, where we were plagued by poor sound for all of the support acts and occasionally during Maidens performance itself, the atmosphere when Maiden were playing more than made up for this. With the crowd chanting every lyric with passion, even Bruce was left speechless. Another highlight was I listed to Churchill twice in one day

The set list was as follows:

• Churchill’s Speech/Aces High
• 2 Minutes to Midnight
• Revelations
• The Trooper
• Wasted Years
• The Number of the Beast
• Can I Play With Madness
• Rime of the Ancient Mariner
• Powerslave
• Heaven Can Wait
• Run to the Hills
• Fear of the Dark
• Iron Maiden
• Encore:
  • Moonchild
  • The Clairvoyant
  • Hallowed Be thy Name
