IRON MAIDEN LIVE in Paris 5 June 2013

First time for everything and in that case it is Iron Maiden time.


As my phone was slowly dying of power failure, no pictures could be taken but I reckon it won't do any justiec to the show. It had it all, best of  land for the set list as you'll see below, great effect pyros, fireworks, great sound, big imagery, props and disguises, giant puppets and such, videos and intros.... A bercy full of sweaty metal lovers  all pumped up.
Even if it started a bit slow (not to mention the first part band who were really  quelconque ), bruce having trouble keeping it's mike in front of his mouth, missing some verses and such and small interaction, it finnally kick off as the Whole of Bercy chanted an Happy Birthday to Nicko McBrain. Bruce Dickinson tried to his credit to speak french the whole tiume but sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying...
But enough already, A bit less than 1H45 of great energic show going still strong in spite of the age of the artists and the ongoing touring... Even if everybody is fed up with it, it is still great to feel shivers down my spine while hearing Fear of the Dark..

Here's the set list.
