It was one hell of a night. As rightly said by Parikrama "what a fucking day" . That day was just a lifetime experience for me. I have been to a concert for the first time in my life and that too in the concert of the one of the greatest bands known as "Iron Maiden" Yes man, what a fucking day it was.
The band had carried almost all the necessary equipment for the stage along with them all the way to India. The sound, the lighting effects and the stage were awesome. The background used to change with each number the band used to play, Moreover, the background used to describe the theme of the song the band was playing. Superb guitars by everyone including Steve Harris and superb drums. Superb Performance by Bruce Dickinson. They just did very good stage acts as demanded by the different songs.
None of the people present at the palace grounds that night were able to resist themselves from headbanging and singing it out loud. The band played all of their greatest numbers including Trooper, Fear of the dark, hallowed be thy name, evil than men do and lot more.
I can bet it was also a great night for the band too to find the huge fan following in this country. The whole grounds were filled with only one name, filled with the sounds of the people yelling , "MAIDEN, MAIDEN, MAIDEN". The band had to tour India by seeing the fact that the "Best of the Beast" was at the number 2 spot in the Indian Charts.
Not only this, band had a promise for the Indian Fans, in the words of Bruce Dickinson, "You people had to wait for us to perform for you for 17 years, but we can promise you that it wont be more than 17 months that we will be back here". I will really love to see them perform again LIVE and will wait for that time.
Have a look at one of the performance by the band that night, quality is really poor but have nothing else to share

Iron Maiden - Edd Fest
Well, iron maiden are coming to India. On the 17th of this march they are going to rock the palace grounds of bangalore. I have asked lot of my friends to join me for the show but no one is coming. They say what is "Iron Maiden". I do not know how can anyone ask such a question.
And now when i have decided that i will go alone for the show, i guess i m too late. The tickets have been sold out and there are still 10 more days to go. But i wanna be there. Its seldom that God descends on earth. Even i heard that the band is coming with about 20 tonnes of equipment for the stage, lights and sound. They want to give the Indian fans the long lasting experience. And what more they will be accompanied with Eddie that's why its being called the Edd-Fest.
If i don't go there i really am going to miss something great, something nerve breaking, something really dark. How can i miss their live performance yelling "Fear of the Dark". How can i miss the feeling when they ask us to repeat and sing the line "Can I Play with madness".
I still have some hopes left. I still believe i will be able to make up to the show. Lets see ...
