I just tuned in to this thread (which I'd been ignoring as I do most "non-LU" 
threads), to see you're actually talking about real rock music. I saw Iron 
Maiden in 1982 while on holiday in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. It was 
the "For Those About to Rock" Tour, and they were in the middle of a three-band 
bill with Girlschool opening and Scorpions headlining. Victoria is so laid back 
that I (age 15) was able to walk backstage after the show and chat to the guys 
from Iron Maiden and Scorpions. Great memory.

First gig: Eric Clapton in Dublin, 1980.

Cheers!

Sean

I feel that I am fortunate beyond belief never to have seen Iron Maiden, but 
did 
see Magazine, Bauhaus, Gary Glitter and loads of others at the Unity Hall in 
Wakefield. Good venue, although avoiding the Tetley Bittermen at the end of the 
night was always a serious affair :-)

I said:

Doh!  That should, of course, have read "Wakefield Unity Hall".  Bit of RL
insinuated itself into my brain when I was typing that, it seems!
