Any chance at a repost of:
58. Iron Maiden - July 5, 1985 - Irvine Meadows Amphitheater - Laguna Hills, California
I've been looking for this show for quite some time, it was a great show. WASP drew in mega chicks, and the fireworks everyone in the audience and parking lot were shooting off were something else, they put the little display after the show to shame.
The Poznan Arena show from 84 is just awesome, I havenīt heard Maiden sound this good on any later show. Itīs the World Slavery Tour and the band is on fire like in 82 or so. The audience is insane, you can even hear the cops whistling while trying to control the crowd throughout the show.
Damn... I was in Poland at that time and wanted to go but the show was beyond sold out. Friends who got tickets said that there were speakers set up outdoors round the arena so in addition to the 10k inside, a few thousand fans listened to the live music in realtime outside the venue. (now if any sneaky Polish headbanger would have spliced his way into the soundboard feed and taped that... wishful thinking)
