When I saw Def Leppard in Hartford, same tour, they did CCR’s Travelin’ Band for a second encore. Did you get that too?

Maiden — eighth row on Piece of Mind tour, great show and loud. At least comparing apples to apples, small halls, Maiden, the Allmans, and believe it or not, Joan Jett are the loudest shows I’ve seen in a 3,000-seat hall.

Loudest show I ever saw was ACDC at the providence Civic Center. For those about to rock tour maybe? Was 3rd row and I remember going to school the next day and couldn't hear much of anything for the next 3 days.

June 10, 1983, my last month of high school: Gary Moore and Krokus open for Def Leppard during their Pyromania tour at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto: great concert!

 Loved Gary Moore. Never got to see him though. Very Jealous of this one.

All I got is I was at a gig for the band that would become Stone Temple Pilots. This was when I lived in LA.

I met This dude in Bali once who claimed to be The Stone temple Pilots Manager. My friend vouched for him but who knows right.

Saw Saxon and Accept twice. Great show. Saxon rules. Next time I saw Accept it was on a bill with Danzig and Armored Saint in Isla Vista, CA. Rad show. Infectious Grooves played there a few weeks later.

I think the only time I saw Saxon was with Maiden. Saw Accept another time also as an opener I think. Maybe for Kiss??

Hah! "Princess of the Dawn" by Accept just came on my mix just as you said that.

Nice! I saw this amazing show once At the Orpheum in Boston With Accept, Ruff Cutt And Krokus that totally blew my mind. Big respect for them all after that.

Powerslave WAS great but our tickets stank and I loved Saxon so they were better than Twisted Sister. I also think they could have left Rime of the Ancient Sweater at home. Would have preferred to hear more Killers-ers material. I played bass as well and learned the whole Number of the Beast album. For me I enjoyed playing Murders in the Rue Morgue and Killers the best.

True metal for me faded somewhere after Powerslave. I liked the hardcore metal bands more like Fastway, Accept Saxon Ruff Cutt etc. My favorite  Maiden was probably Number of the Beast though but actually loved them all before Powerslave.

I saw them 6 times. I'd say the 2 best were Piece of Mind Tour with Saxon and Fastway and then when Bruce Dickenson returned in 2001 for the Brave New World album. With Monster Magnet and Soulfly. Priest was always my first followed closely by Iron Maiden.

Priest was way up there but I played the bass and Harris was a god to me. That piece of mind tour was Excellent! Loved Power slave too!

Maiden Was my favorite band in the 80's. Went to see them every time they came to town back then.

My score has been monotonous.

Round 1 - 5 pts 1 bullseye

Round 2 - 5 pts 1 bullseye

Round 3 - 6 pts no bullseye

Round 4 - 6 pts 1 bullseye

At least 2 points on one book each round but I think those grades are criminally overgraded.  

Had exactly the same results except my no bullseye round was in the first. Funny though I had the thought that all the books looked the same grade in the last round but I thought they all looked in the  4-4.5 range. Luckily I pressed the send button by mistake or could have been even worse.

Grades in. Actually hit the send button by mistake. Watch these half drunken first impressions be my best round. 

Bad one for me. Lois off by 2. Would have given it a 7 but lowered it because of the phantom staining. Guess I hammered Junie for the stain a bit too much also. 6 points 

Grades in.
