Keep your promises...

Feb 1 and Feb 2 2008 were magical, inspirational, and breath-taking nights. Perhaps it was the Secret at work, or just sheer hard-work (yeah, rite) on my part, but i managed to successfully share a meal with Iron Maiden, and witnessed my first ever live performance by the six-tect from East London.

'Twas then that the air-raid siren promised us that they would be back in a year. And being the gentlemen that they are, here's some news that just made my morning brighter than a thousand suns.

Iron Maiden hit Bangalore on Feb 15th, to continue their Somewhere In Time World Tour.



The tour, which kickstarted in Mumbai this year on Feb 2 has largely featured the following setlist:
1. Churchill's Speech
2. Aces High
3. 2 Minutes to Midnight
4. Revelations
5. The Trooper
6. The Number of the Beast
7. Can I Play with Madness
8. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
9. Powerslave
10. Heaven Can't Wait
11. Run to the Hills
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden

14. Moonchild
15. The Clairvoyant
16. Hallowed Be Thy Name

The last time, i cried my heart out as Dave Murray strummed the opening chords to Moonchild on his sunburst Givson, giving way to the madness that ensued with the triple axe attack. My only wish is for them to include "The Evil that Men Do".
