Music has always
been an undivided parallel that leaves no sub sequential boundaries that brings
fans together to share a solitude of monumental decibel bliss. Many of us music
fans have grown up in the eighties' and have savored an era that has long
surpassed a golden staple in our lives that we certainly have never outshined
or simply out grown no matter how old we get, music will always be a sacred
gift of passion and melodies.
It absolutely seemed to be an eighties flash back all
over again after more than twenty-five years as the legendary British Heavy Metal known as Iron Maiden
returned

to Philadelphia with an all new concert spectacle in support of their
fresh release of a double CD called "The Book of Souls" which as peaked at number
four on the rock charts.
Fans of the mighty Iron Maiden have always never been
disappointed the ultimate rock experience with a top notch production and high
intense music of endless decibel meltdown that Iron Maiden has showcased
throughout their entire musical career as Live band.
In the back of my head I can still recall seeing Iron
Maiden for the first time back in 1986 The Power Slave Tour and with an instant
I was hooked from the bitter sweet end since then, and have always looked
forward to an intense show that has become more than just a typical metal live
experience watching Bruce Dickenson nail the high notes in every single song.

While this tour has just kicked off, I along with twenty
thousand fans first hand had the rare opportunity to sit center stage on the
second night of the Book of Souls Tour at Wells Fargo Center for what could be
the best show the naked eye could see.
As if Iron Maiden isn’t enough for an annual metal
meltdown, fans enjoyed an opening set
from quintet Swedish metal act Ghost, who puts on a great show and has that
bizarre slipknot life like mysterious
persona blending great guitar riffs and blissful melodies that make Ghost
a great band to follow, if you missed that forty-five minute set, you
definitely missed a great set there.
With a quick intermission, the stage was set for Iron
Maiden to wow Philly fans for over one hundred plus minutes spanning their
musical career as a band with a 15 song set list consisting of 6 new tracks
from their latest release alongside a deep helping of classic favorites.

drum riser, the intensity of the show began to kick
into over drive, from there on in it felt like a full throttle metal show
taking off at a high rate of speed.
This show could have easily been the greatest hits tour
for the likes of Dickenson and his band mates however sitting through some
great new tracks gives the fan a minute to relish the new material that can
consistently grow on you in an instant.
For Iron Maiden it's always been about an high level of
energy that has captivated them as a visual band and this book of souls tour most
certainly resonates that momentous visual.

The good old days when bands like Iron Maiden bring the entire house on its feet into a
screaming roar of pure metal mayhem at its finest show degree very well
displayed.
It's not hard to believe that this band has spanned more
than thirty five years and has deep
history within a rich catalog of hits sadly many were not jammed into the
current set of songs during the Philadelphia show however, a hand full of deep
classics still tossed in for great Maiden listening pleasure, defiantly makes
this a night to remember for a long time.
While the older Maiden classic metal songs never get old
being tossed in during their set on this recent tour in Philadelphia, the newer
fresh well written material defiantly was well received by many at the show.
Nothing truly puts the emphasis on a true metal show
other than Iron Maiden topping out the entire evening with mascot Eddie
dominating the stage in fine fashion this time out dressed in full native tribe
attire.
While the eighties' will forever be etched in the back of
our music minds, we still can say after two decades back in Philadelphia for an
outstanding performance once again Iron Maiden set the entire Wells Fargo
Center on an electric visual meltdown.
