Iron Maiden played to a capacity crowd at Austin 360 Amphitheater. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. it was a hot-Texsa night and the rain from earlier in the afternoon made it a hot-muggy-Texas night. Iron Maiden raised the temperature levels with the use of pyrotechnics from the very first beat of the show. And even though we were warned it was going to happen, it was still soul shaking. The night begins with the mammoth Austin 360 Amphitheater speakers playing a recording of Iron Maiden's "Doctor Doctor." This, Maiden fans know, is a signal that the show is getting close to starting. Anticipation rises and pumping fists begin to fill the Austin 360 Amphitheater skyline. At the end of "Doctor Doctor" house lights go down pyrotechnics go up and it's game on. As the stage is illuminated, a stage resembling a huge iceberg is revealed, referencing 1988's "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" album cover. From the beginning it was none stage, Bruce Dickinson moving around the stage on two levels. Dickinson's voice has held up well and could even be referred to as spot on. The band was dynamic in every way, total control of their instruments and moving about giving maiden fans at either end of the stage a great plenty of chances to make eye contact. Bruce Dickinson did not fly the band into Texas on Ed Force One for this tour. The tour is consists of just a few North American dates, a few in Mexico and wraps up in South America.
