Maiden has been on my bucket list of shows to see for quite a while. Apparently their shows are epic.
Yes, Iron Maiden puts on a wicked show.

Also: Bob Seger
The Stones
Guns n' Roses

I loved seeing Cher live a couple of years ago. She puts on an incredible show.

September 1987, separatism raging in the streets of Montreal. You may be told to shut off your car radio if you drove down the street listening to CKGM English radio, because ............."dis is Keh-bec". I was 19 years old at the start of my second year at McGill University. Pink Floyd played at the Montreal Forum that September. It was a small venue (40,000 seats) I have also seen Pink Floyd at the Montreal Olympic Stadium, but nothing compares to a small venue. Pink Floyd always did a show in Montreal when they toured North America because Montreal is one of the places where they got their start in the 60s before they were known world wide.

Seen way to many bands starting in the late 70s loved going to concerts whether it was small or very large festivals, even traveled or lived in other parts and went out. Being a musician I always loved to watch other bands but the greatest enjoyment was actually playing a gig with my band mates and friends whether paid or ad hoc. It was usually at these gigs that you ended up meeting other musicians and talking about the craft, some were cool and down to earth but others were assholes off stage.
