IRON MAIDEN Manager Checks In From Melbourne: Part 2

February 14, 2008

IRON MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood has checked in from the Melbourne, Australia stop of the band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008. An excerpt from his online posting follows:

"Usually second shows in venues are 'lighter' than first ones as fans tend to rush out and get the first tickets. The first show here sold out in 15 minutes and second one added immediately so you would think out most manic fans grabbed the first show leaving the slow coaches to the second. So much for theory as this certainly wasn't the case here. The audience was every bit as loud as the first night and even the merchandise sales were almost exactly the same. And as promised by my Killer Krew the sound was on the money as was the rest of the show and that, along with a loud and passionate crowd, made it a great show and even better than the first. We are really hitting our stride — I don't think anything can stop us now!!"
