Going To The Show

Posted on by

Taking my boy and my 12 year old Grandson who is now taller than both of us, is already shaving and having to fend off the cougars.

I think he’s already 6’1′ easy.

Unreal.

This will be his first concert so Grandpa is going to do it right.

This will be the second time me and my boy have seen them and will be my fourth time.

I think.

So many concerts, so many years and so many dead brain cells later ya know.

It’s going to be a long day tomorrow and I have a meeting with the big boss too.

Thankfully it’s a Skype thing.

I’ll be buying the young ‘un at least one concert T shirt for him to remember it by.

Maybe 2.

Makin’ memories ya know.

  1. That is AWESOME, Phil! Me and two sons are going to see them in November, fourth time for me, second for boy the elder and first for boy the younger. They are my favorite band and my younger son’s favorite band. Should be a great time for us and you and yours!

    UP THE IRONS!!

  3. “have to fend off the cougars”. In which case I reckon that ‘uncle’ Cederq might offer to accompany the young bloke and shout him a free entry to some such event, hoping to score with said cougar/s by ricochet!

      • Have you ever been to Maiden concert? The watchword is ‘Where no one is a stranger’. I saw a Sikh attend his first ever concert in London. Everyone welcomed him as a new member.

        • You are a relative newbie here. I detest most hard rock, rap, headbanger so-called music. My preferred musical genre is C&W(old), Blues and R&B and Jazz and some classical music thrown in. It is a well known fact here among the old decrypted geezers on this blog. To answer your question, I am never in the same city at a Maiden concert or any other despised forms of screeching.

  9. Awesome!! I took my nephew to see KISS (and Def Leppard) for his 1st concert when he was 10 and my buddy and I took their 10 yr old daughter to see KISS (and Ted Nugent) for her double digit birthday.

    Iron Maiden puts on an awesome show!!

    Post pics!!

  11. Sounds good ! … I haven’t been to a concert in ages ! … Went to all kinds years back … I saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour as well … They work their asses off and the show was damn near 4 hours !!! … Hope ya post about it later

  12. Ok, cool Iron Maiden story. When I was stationed in England in 1984 myself and 2 of my friends decided on a whim to stop in Bristol and go see Iron Maiden. It was the day of the concert and we had no idea how we were going to get tickets. We went down the alley next to the Bristol Hippodrome to see if we could find anyone. Dave Murray and Steve Harris were hanging out talking to some people. We never got to talk to them, but we found the stage manager who told us they were rearranging some of the equipment and if we got in line early there would be tickets available. After waiting in line about 3 hours we were the first ones to the ticket booth. They asked us if we wanted a booth so we said sure. The usher takes us to our booth, but then informs us they gave us the booth that was for the band’s wives. He had to give us another booth right next to theirs. We ended up in a private booth, next to band’s wives, right next to the stage. Best concert ever.

  13. I saw the Live After Death tour recorded…..,well,live for that album,was awesome!

    I hope you guys have a great show!

    While as fans at concerts nuts(perhaps with help of different substances)has as I have grown older been cool around folks who bring their kids ect.!

    That said,the parking lots before shows can be insane yet fun circuses!

  16. Took Pretty Daughter to her first car race, the SCCA Chicken National at Road America. Thing was she wouldn’t be born for three months. ah, making memories.
