Bruce has definitely still got it! 🎸🤘. His vocals and energy are something else at 65 years young! Of course, we watched the whole set, Pete was air drumming his heart out 😂🥁🙌. So cool to meet the man himself too, your story about that was hilarious 😂🙈. Fab video, really enjoyed it. Although we did of course miss you Rach 😊. Thanks for taking us along, we are glad you made it out the car park eventually Wills! Have a great week guys Rock on!🤘 Pete and Shell

Well guys that was a grand way to kick off our bank holiday Monday! ‘Enough about my bush’ and ‘I’m surprised you found Manchester’ had us in stitches! Looked a great head banging performance although we did feel like we were at a football match at one point lol And what a bonus (apart from having to wait half an hour) FREE PARKING!

Been waiting for this one, absolutely loved it, I know you looked at the merch which we always do but usually just buy a stubby holder now as we both have so many band shirts we can barely fit them in the 2 wardrobes and 3 sets of drawers. Was fantastic to see the songs I listen to on c.d.s live for sure. I met Janick last time maiden we’re out as we thought he would go to the elephant and wheelbarrow after the gig which he did with Bruce’s sons band, we got a photo with him and he signed my ticket. We have a bar here called cherry bar which international bands go to for the afterparty, we have been to so many gigs then hung out with the bands after and chatted away.After one of the Darkness gigs they rocked up and Airborne were also there which we know , so we got some great fun photos with them.looks like you got a bit closer to the front as the night went on. It’s strange but a lot of my really hard core maiden friends don’t want anything to do with Bruce’s solo stuff, they don’t know what they are missing.Thank you so much for putting this one up 😍

Ah, thank you so much!!! You met Janick? Very cool. He often gets a lot of stick from some Maiden fans, but I think he's great. A good friend of ours, Colin Towns used to play with Janick when he was in Gillan. The Cherry Bar sounds great, totally my kinda place, would love to visit there one day. Yeah, it's interesting about some Iron Maiden fans snobbery against Bruce's solo work. I have to admit, I'm not massively familiar with a lot of it. I got Tattooed Millionaire when it first came out and liked that, but once Bruce left Maiden, that was kinda around the time I started listening to other styles of music for a while, so didn't listen to a huge amount of rock or metal then, so missed out on a few of Bruce's solo releases. I'm only really starting to catch up on them and to be honest, there's still a couple of Iron Maiden albums (Dance of Death, Matter of Life and Death and Final Frontier) that I'm not massively familiar with, so I need to sort that out. I can totally relate to what you say about band t-shirts haha, Rach hates it when I keep buying new t-shirts from gigs haha. Thanks again as always, it's always appreciated. Cheers x

@@PostcardAndAPint yes I know some people don’t accept Janick but I like him for sure, when Maiden were touring with Blaze my mate Phil was going to all the gigs and they asked him if he would do the merch stand so of course he said yes 😊

Loved your story, Wills, about meeting Bruce. I used to attend a lot of film and TV conventions, so I got very used to making a tit of myself in front of famous people - not that I think you did, because everyone knows what these things can be like, but I sympathise with how it feels. I think it's the desk that makes people lose it - it feels a bit like you're back at school, in front of teacher. 😄

We enjoyed this so much. How amazing to meet him and fantastic concert afterwards. He still sounds great. We go to see a lot of bands and always wear ear plugs. Thank you for sharing this. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Brilliant job Wills. So pleased you got your bush sorted Rachel. I had not heard of Bruce's solo project before. He sounds like the guy from Iron Maiden. Bruce is actually younger than I thought. Maiden have been around since the 90s surely. The 1890s. 65 ain't that old by the way. I was just reading recently that Angus Young is a mere 69 too. They actually make my bones ache they are so energetic. And I've been using old man ear plugs for years too. I'm pretty sure I left it too late though. Oops. Now I might just go and run to the hills and cue up a Maiden playlist on Spotify. ps FFS, a theremin solo. That was brilliant. pps I'm assuming you used your phone to record that Wills - the sound was pretty good considering. Often I've just got distortion. ppps Funnily enough many of my contemporaries are approaching or just over 60 and they seem so fudging old. I swear it is an attitude thing. Keep going to gigs Wills, keep up the pruning Rach, and you will never age. You will get old and die eventually but you will never age. 😂

Hey Shane, cheers for your great comment as always!!! The 90's? Iron Maiden formed in the 70's. although their first album was in 1980...oh, 1890s, that's about right haha. Seriously though, Bruce's energy and the likes of Angus Young put all the youngies to shame. You definitely need to go and binge on a bit of Maiden. The Theremin was crazy, I only showed a bit of it here but it was really cool. Yep, I used my phone this night. To be honest, the mic on the iPhone isn't bad in situations like this, not as good outside though and terrible if there is even a sniff of wind. Love the never age comment, you're absolutely right....people like us Shane will never age (to be honest, I don't think we'll ever grow up either haha).

🤣🤣 Looks like your getting ready for Wills return, rather than gardening, Rachel. Is his voice squeaky now? Haven't seen a line that long since 1976 for Zeppelin tickets in Chicago. But I made it to the front and got some! Sadly, didn't get a T shirt though either. I'm lucky I found my way out though all the aromatic fog! 😎😎Fun time here. Never skip though to the next chapter. It may be the one where I'm written out! 😁😁Great show and I'm glad to hear Bruce has come though his health problems. He's still a young man! 🤣🤣Thinks poorly of you though, Wills.
