Saturday Night: Iron Maiden at The Woodlands

Page 3 of 3

Personal Bias: The other reporter next to me didn't seem all that impressed with my singing during "Aces High." Back to the shower, I guess.

The Crowd: The guy behind me was over 60. The kid in front of me was under 16. Both wore identical Maiden t-shirts. The beer guy told me he'd served fans from Germany, Spain, Mexico and Brazil Saturday night.

Overheard In the Crowd: Just roaring, basically. It was one of the loudest, most pumped-up crowds I can remember at the Pavilion.

Random Notebook Dump: After countless long, hard tours, Iron Maiden remains in amazingly good shape. Maybe my D.A.R.E. officer was right.
