March 17th, 2007 Iron Maiden rocked Bangalore in Palace Grounds, Guttahalli. My friend got me a ticket for the front gallery and i thought that i will get to see the BAND very closely and was excited. By the time we were in Palace Grounds, it was 5:45 and the show was supposed to start by 7:00 PM. The Indian Rock Band, PARIKRAMA was rocking the crowd by their amazing performance. We entered the Front gallery and were shocked to see the crowd. It was filled with more than 20,000 people. Black was the Dress code and i could manage to get an IRON MAIDEN T-shirt from my friend Kanthi which i haven't yet returned ...;-)
We got a place to stand almost 35-40 yards from the stage and settled there:-(. People cheering around wereexcited too. The worst thing was most of them were into Dope and we couldn't bear the smell of it. By 7:30, Parikrama and Lauren Harris, Daughter of Iron Maiden Bassist, Steve Harris were done with their performance. The Crowd started chanting IRON MAIDEN and was eager for their performance. By that time i was exhausted standing there for almost 2 hours.
By 8:00 PM, Iron Maiden took onto the stage and started playing the numbers from their latest Album " A matter of Life and Death". I couldn't enjoy as i had never heard any of them. Then they started with "Fear of the Dark", "The Number of the Beast", "2 Mins to Midnight","Hallowed by the Name" and our Head banging started. It went on till 10:00 PM and i was totally thrilled by their performance.
Bruce was excited too. "SCREAM FOR ME BANGALORE" was all he had to say !
The next morning, i got a severe neck pain .... thanks to the Head banging ... ;-)
