Iron Maiden and Megadeth concert

You read the title, probably, so I'll just get to the point. It was probably the greatest concert/show I've ever been to. Iron Maiden is my most favorite band of all time, as I've probably stated before (at least on my first post in this blog)
Megadeth has started playing everything a whole step down from standard tuning because I think that Dave's just losing his voice, that and it's just heavier. They opened with Hangar 18, which was a little unexpected, then went into Wake Up Dead, which was pretty typical, did some other songs which were flawless, and ended with Holy Wars which is what's always expected. As soon as I can find the concert, or clips of it on youtube, I'll post it. Maybe I'll find something with me moshing.
Before I talk about Iron Maiden, I'd like to address the audience and location. Audience: they were all so freaking drunk, at least the adults were. I got a lot of beer thrown on me as the show went on. Everyone was smoking, whether it was cigarettes and/or weed. Saying that, breathing was a little hard. I got really tired in the mosh pit probably because there was so little oxygen. The Amphitheater was a really really nice venue. Very open, and I loved the overall sound quality.
Now to Iron Maiden: the main reason I went. Let alone the fact that Iron Maiden is and was so tight, they're also just great performers.
Here's a live video of them in Canada I think. A few years back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBtLMLQfiRo
Funny thing, Bruce Dickinson (the singer) is a trained pilot, and he flies the plane that they use for their tours. Hardcore. I hope you all enjoy that video, and if you like it, that song is off their 3rd album Number Of The Beast which is also the first album Bruce Dickinson sang on. Check it out, if you like it. And if you do like it, check out their other albums. All 15 of them are truly spectacular.
As soon as I can, I'll try to post some links here from the concert I went to. I promise. <3
