    Sun 11 Mar – Iron Maiden
    I LIKED: THE GIG WAS SOLD OUT! FOR ANOTHER TIME WE PROVED HERE IN GREECE THAT WE ARE HUNGRY FOR LIVE METAL!
    I DIDN'T LIKE: LAWRENNE HARRIS.SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL INDEED BUT WITH NO VOICE! GOD SOMETIMES IS SOOO UNFAIR...
    I LIKED: THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE CAME FROM OTHER COUNTRIES (EVEN BRAZIL!) FOR THIS SHOW.
    I DIDN'T LIKE: THE SOUND. IT WAS VERY BAD AT LEAST FOR THE 3 FIRST SONG..BUT HOPEFULLY IT GOT BETTER AND BETTER..
    I LIKED: EDDIE. HE WAS UNBELIEVABLE ONCE AGAIN.
    I DIDN'T LIKE: THE SMALL SET. WHY? THEY HAVE 14 ALBUMS AND YES WE DEMAND TO HEAR SOMETHING MORE...THEY DIDN'T PLAY ANYTHING FROM 6 ALBUMS!
    I LIKED: THE FACT THAT THEY WILL COME NEXT SUMMER FOR "THE GOLDEN YEARS TOUR" PLAYING SONGS FROM THE ALMIGHTY ALBUMS "POWERSLAVE","SOMEWHERE IN TIME" AND "SEVENTH SON"
    I DIDN'T LIKE: SAME SONGS. IT'S REALLY BORING TO HEAR AGAIN AND AGAIN THE SAME SONGS LIVE.IT'S GREECE MEN!GIVE SOMETHING EXTRA LIKE "ALEXANDER"...IT DOESN'T COST YOU FOR GOD SHAKE!

    Sun 11 Mar – Iron Maiden

    Here goes, this is my first review ever and I'm really not good with these things but I'll do my best.

    Iron Maiden were playing at the Hellinikon Indoor Basketball Arena. The venue had changed from another quite smaller former Olympic games stadium and judging by how full Hellinikon ended up being I'd say they could have easily moved it somewhere even bigger. Hellinikon Basketball Arena has the capacity of about 14,500 spectators and that's seated. sure, the seats behind the stage weren't used but everywhere else you looked there were people, standing on the "mosh pit" which looked crowded to the point of asphynxiation, sitting on the stairs, standing behind the rows of seats... they were everywhere. I'd guess around 20.000 people but it's completely arbitrary, no idea how many tickets were sold but sold out seems like an understatement for what was going on in there.

    The boyfriend and I got there a little after the gates opened at 18:30 and half…
