Iron Maiden - The Book Of Souls Tour 2017

Awesome show. Started ontime. Pyro and sound system was awesome! It was the last night of the tour, and Bruce and the band were in top form!!

Phenomenal concert in every way - even though we were close to nose-bleed section, the acoustics, lighting, and showmanship from both Ghost and Iron Maiden were absolutely worth the effort and cost to see them!!!

The band amazing! The crown not good. I was dancing and singing the whole concert! The band played amazing! But people were low in energy, I enjoyed to the full!.

I first saw Iron Maiden in 1983 on The Number of the Beast tour, and they were pretty solid then. Thirty-four years later, they deliver even more than they did in '83. Bruce's vocals are incredible after all these years and even surviving throat cancer has only made him stronger. I couldn't believe he could still hit those high notes! Steve Harris' presence is the anchor for the group, while the duo of Campbell and Murray just melted the faces of all in the audience! Great show from the best heavy metal band!

Iron Maiden still rocks and even their new stuff is good. The only two disappointments to the show were that they no longer play Run To The Hills (how dare they) and Ghost, the open act, isn't my cup of tea.

Well, They were basically ON FIRE!!!! Never missed a beat. It was the 56th time I have seen them and they were never better. All the boys are in great shape. The Three Amigos tear it up and are totally in sync. Bruce nailed it, full of energy. Steve n Nicko super tight duo. The return of Wrathchild and addition of The Great Unknown, just made it for me. Then when I got to here the title track of their latest album, The Book of Souls, well,,,,,, my latest favorite Maiden song. Head banging all night long!!! If Eternity should fail, you don't want to miss it!!!!

Both Ghost and Maiden sounded incredible. My issue was Maidens terrible setlist. Really. No Run To The Hills. Anyway the stage set and sound was truly one of the best I've heard in a long time. Ghost has a new fan.

Iron Maiden never disappoints. A fantastic night of great music - big stage show and great fans. They have so many great songs - could have played another 2 hours and still would not have covered all their great music.

What an amazing show !!! They put on a better show then bands half their age. High energy and never a disappointment.

Good show. Would have prefferred less songs off new album and more of their hits. Saw them in 2012/Dallas a d the show was much more enjoyable.

Well, I saw the first show when this tour kicked off in Ft. Lauderdale on Feb 24, 2016. And it was amazing then, especially being Bruce's first show after his Cancer scare. But I must say this first gig of the US leg of the tour, exceeded that one. Great Crowd, very organized and orderly getting us into the pit. The crowed was well behaved with minimal pushing or crush. Sound was great and the Book of Souls Stage show is arguably the best one Maiden has ever done (and if you're a fan you know they do some pretty Epic sets).

Awesome show!! It's a really good place to see a show.

Let's be honest, most of us go to see a band like Iron Maiden to hear the hits, and with them only playing 14 songs and most of them being from book of souls, it was a bit underwhelming. They sounded great, just wish it was the songs we wanted.

Ghost = AMAZING , Iron Maiden = THE BEST AS ALWAYS

This show was incredible! The set was killer, the mood of the opening will haunt my memory for years to come. The art and production they put into the stage with amazing. The book of souls giant inflatable Eddie puppet was fantastic and seemed very life-like. They played several of the classics, but a lot off their book of souls album (hands down the best album they've recorded since Powerslave!) This was my first time seeing them, but the 9th time for my boyfriend, and he said he'd never seen the band perform with such high energy. You can talk about the band's albums and tours of the 80's all you want, but the fact is that they're in their heyday NOW. They've got fans who've loved them since they started the band still coming out to show, and gain new fans with every generation. I saw 3 generations of maiden fans in the merch line all wearing their Iron Maiden shirts discussing different albums and different tours they'd heard and witnessed. Grandfather, father and son. Hail Maiden!

Another stellar performance by Iron Maiden. Incredible energy for a band that's been around so long. There was a good mix of old and new songs. Personally I found the new songs to be a high point of the show. Only disappointment was that the mic on the vocals got spotty on the last few songs. Maiden is a great band to see live.. if you get the chance see them while you can.

I hadn't seen Iron Maiden in a very long time. They put on a great show.

Iron maiden gave the best as always, but the sound was very bad, missed the audio of the microphone all time, in both bands. The parking lot to leave was a disaster, wasted a lot of time in leaving. And the person who was on security, did not put order, there were many people occupying the corridors and did not allow to see the concert from the places that had bought.

The best Iron Maiden show to date! What an experience. The crowd was amazing!!!!

It's always an incredible and unforgettable experience when seeing Iron Maiden! From the theatrical stage setting to all the fire and other pyrotechnics. Bruce and the boys always come storming out from behind the stage ready to play and give it their best!

Ghost put on an awesome show. Iron Maiden kicked ass.

Maiden always puts on a heck of a show, and this one was no different. The choice of opening act Ghost was an excellent pairing. Both bands are energetic, and rock hard. This is of course nothing short of miraculous in Maiden's case as they are all in their 60's, with Bruce being the youngest - at a spry 58. If I have to list any cons about the performances, the list would be tiny. Maiden may have flubbed a couple of guitar harmonies, it happens. The only other complaint I heard from others was their set list. This band has a discography stretching back to 1980, 37 freaking years.. so chances are high they are not going to play everyone's favorite song. This is the Book of Souls tour, and they played 6 songs from that album (which I personally enjoyed the heck out of) so they obviously cannot fit all the "hits" in the set. I do believe many fans miss "Hallowed Be Thy Name", but due to the lawsuit we are all getting boned. If you get the chance to see this tour, GO! I would say that even if you like them a little bit (is that possible?) just the energy from the crowd that gets projected is enough to make you a convert. The venue was fine, and the crowd very well behaved and respectful to each other. Not a huge surprise here as many of the original fans are older now, and bringing their kids. A huge plus was the merchandise tent set up early outside the arena. We were able to get our Texas exclusive tour shirts early and put them in the car before going in. Con - The credit card machines at the entrance failed. Since that's the main way to get in, the line was very very long, and people were getting irate. We were able to jump out of line and get paper tickets and get right in an hour early. But, many people were stuck outside for way too long, and missed some or most of the opening act. Ghost played to an Arena that wasn't even 1/4 filled, even though many people wanted to see them. Overall, it was a great time! 11/10 - Would lose my voice again.

I got the Trooper VIP experience. Venue and its staff were the best always had someone there to point me in the right direction or answer any questions i had. Perks of vip front of the stage view of Ghost and Iron Maiden had an amazing time. Absolute love the AT&T center for concerts

Iron Maiden has always been my favorite band, so finally getting to see them live is an item off of the bucket list. It was so amazing hearing the new music, as well as the old hits. So amazing, and Ghost is an amazing live act as well, and an excellent choice of opening act for Iron Maiden. My only complaint was with the ticketing, as it was set as "Credit Card Entry" but the scanners stopped working, so the whole line was sent to Will Call to pick up tickets. For people who had waited an hour or more to get to the front of the line to be told to go to the opposite side of the building was definitely not well coordinated. And with everyone getting in line over there, and security telling people that some scanners worked at the other side only to have the people who went back over come back to get in line minutes later. It was just very unorganized and and the security wasn't doin w Avery good job of explaining the situation but more like barking at the crowd. All in all it was an amazing experience, but the venue could tweak some things to make entry flow smoother.

These Guys NEVER mail it in. Show was great, full of energy and great props. I was a little disappointed with the set list but all in all, great show.

Really good performances they both kicked butt would see them again

I've seen Maiden a half dozen times over the years. Always a great stage show, and the band are all solid musicians. And up until now, I've always been impressed with the sound. Not this time. It sounded like the sound guy was hung over, just pushed all of the faders on the board up, and went to sleep. It was one big wash of white noise. Bruce Dickenson's vocals were lost in a wash of reverb and delay...you couldn't understand him even when he was speaking between songs. At times I got lost in songs that I've known for decades. And I can't blame the room acoustics...because the opening act Ghost sounded phenomenal.

This concert was amazing wish I could relive the night over and over

GA floor is the way to go. Plenty of room to roam around or get up front as close as you want. Restroom and concessions are very convenient.

They put on one hell of a show. From the excitement of Doctor Doctor, the explosion of them taking the stage, to the final encore...absolutely amazing. Seen them many times, and will see them every time they come to town.

I was blown away! I have seen Maiden a couple of times over the years and this one topped them all. I don't know how they keep turning out such great music that still has relevance after 40 years. I don't know how 60 year old men perform on the level of enthusiasm and energy and creativity time after time after time but they do and they top themselves. Run don't walk to your nearest Maiden concert and get on the floor. It's worth the time and money. Also, I never thought I would but I very much enjoyed Ghost. Very interesting and entertaining. Great warm up.

Rocking as hard as ever! Energy level maximum. Theatrical performances still add that which only Maiden fans get. My voice was gone for the same two following days my ears were ringing!!

Seen Iron Maiden in the 80s,90s,00s and 2017. This was the best.

Please don't hold on to the past too tightly. They do play a few classics. It's the Book of Souls tour! You won't be running to the hills.

Over the top.. they all play their hearts out... great performance!

Great music, high energy, and fantastic sound system.

It was a very good show Ghost started it out and they were good. Then maiden hit the stage and it was time to rock sound guy had all guitars sounding great.

I've seen Iron Maiden several times starting in the early 80's. They really haven't lost a step. Bruce's voice still raises the roof and the stage show is always amazing. Ghost was a surprise. Not quite what I expected. Satanic theater kids. Lead singer had a good sense of humor.

Ghost was great. Not to loud. Could understand every word. Iron Madien was not so great but a good show. Could hardly under stand Bruce when he was signing. Everything just clashed together. Over all was a good show.

From beginning to end, Iron Maiden is the best! Don't miss this tour. Can't wait to see them again.

Overall, it was a pretty good show. The audio mix could have been a little better, but not terrible. The mix for Ghost was terrible! Vocals were barely audible & too much bass. Enjoyed Maiden's stage set & videos, however I thought Ghost used the lighting more effectively. Biggest disappointment was no "Run to the Hills"! WTH?! I'm sure they are tired of playing it, but this was my first & probably only Maiden show and to me, this was their biggest "hit". At least they played "The Trooper"...

The concert was energetic and stayed with the image of Iron Maiden has alway done

Great show on the last night of their tour , saw them in Philly and Newark as well on this leg of the tour. This was the best of the 3. Opener for the tour was Ghost , also a very entertaining band that I like . GREAT TOUR !!!! UP THE IRONS !!!!!!!!

Went to go see these guys 8 years ago and what a great show. Amazing sound, great vocals and stage show!

Iron Maiden is the best. To me nothing comes close to a Maiden show.

Iron Maiden was at the top of their game and nothing short of amazing. The Book Of Souls is an amazing album, and it was featured here in almost it's entirety. Outstanding show! Also, Ghost's opening was also fantastic. I have never heard of them before but I went and ordered their entire discography after experiencing their live performance!

last show of world tour was great still rockin all these years

I've been an Iron Maiden fan for many years. I wasn't sure what to expect because the guys are a bit older since the last time I saw them live. But they were absolutely awesome! The song selection was excellent, the sound quality was very good, and the performance was top-notch. They have more energy on stage than bands half their age. These guys are legends. If they come to your area, go see them. It's well worth it.

They always put on an amazing show the energy I tell you is incredible lightshow always perfect just like what you'd expect from such an elite band smiling on stage they just epitomize heavy metal

Iron maiden played the Barclays center for the first time and haven't been in NYC since the 80s. Their music and the power of Bruce Dickinson's voice has not wavered. They are truly an amazing band that has survived the test of time. Amazing!

Awesome Awesome shows. Was so good Friday the 21st I went back again on Saturday the 22nd. Bruce Dickinson has the energy of a hundred horses. The best front man of a rock band that I have witnessed. Ive seen Maiden four times now in my lifetime and i cant wait to see them again. Ghost was pretty good as the opening act. Very entertaining.

Excellent performance. My husband especially was in his glory with this one as he had waited thirty plus years to see IM! First and hopefully not last time for both of us! Particularly enjoy Bruce Dickinson's strong voice and soaring vocals as he cavorted around the stage in the style of someone half the age. Add in screaming guitars, bass that is more intensive than what might come to mind along with a smiling drummer and it equals one kick ass night out! Some of the best props too spotlighting their mascot Eddie in various forms!

The show in Toronto opened with one of the hottest acts ever to come out of Sweden: those mischevious ghouls in Ghost. Masked demons playing their earworm Satannic tunes with the melodic singing of Papa Emeritus III, all Hell was unleashed in a tight set. Even James from Metallica was seen, grooving to Ghost's magical groove. Iron Maiden blasted onto stage with monstrous zeal, playing a good proportion of songs from their 2015 epic, The Book of Souls. Not a dry eye or vocal chord was left after a two-hour plus panoly of their long history of audience favorites. What a fantastic way to enjoy the greatest metal band of all time. Up the Irons!

It was really hot. Iron maiden had a great stage setup.

It's awesome band and song they sound same the records

Ghost and iron maiden blew the roof off! The sound was great and the crowd was very energetic!

Best performance in the world!! They did awesome!!

Never been a huge fan of Iron Maiden and went mainly to see Ghost. Iron Maiden absolutely killed it. Ine of the best live performances I've ever seen. Twice the energy as most bands half their age. Even if you dont like Maiden get yourself a ticket, you wont be disappointed.

What a great show. I was lucky you catch them on the 2016 book of souls tour twice. Then saw them in Vegas and Oakland on the last leg of the book of souls tour. Iron Maiden had great sound at Oracle arena in Oakland. Ghost were excellent as well. The venue was perfect. Except for $15 beer prices. The energy that Maiden bring is like none other. A delight to watch and obvious the band are enjoying themselves as much as the fans. It was my 24th show from them. One of the best. If you have never seen Iron Maiden, do yourself a favor and go to one of their shows. You won't be disappointed. UP THE IRONS !!!

This was my first Iron Maiden show and it did not disappoint. The visual effects were amazing. The band was on top of its game. Sure, we sat a bit far back, but the seats were pretty much gave us a dead center view of the stage. My only complaint was the sound. In the Ghost set, I found the bass and drums to be too overpowering for my tastes. For Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson's voice didn't always come through, especially the higher notes. Perhaps it was due to the location of our seats. It didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the show. If Iron Maiden returns to Oracle Arena, I'll be back.

Wonderful show ,Iron Maiden are always amazing!!!!

Still sounding Amazing after all these years. Looks like they're have the time of their lives!

I have 18 shows this year and this is (was) in the top 5. I had great seats for the show; however, between the set list, Bruce's vocals just dropping and the acoustics of the night it was a let down. I really wanted to hear their older stuff. The music I grew up with.

Iron Maiden is awesome band! My husband and I are a big fan!

Ghost was much better than expected and Iron maiden was outstanding as always! Wish seats weren't so high people wouldn't get up and down so damn much that includes seats and the stairs. But still had a memorable night.

Best concert Ive ever seen! Exceeded all expectations!

Great concert! A lot of energy. Great stage set up!

Had a great time at the show. This was by far the best show i have been too in a long time. They played their asses off.

Hello! It's Iron Maiden what more can or do I say except awesomeness.

Like always, the best show ever! I highly recommend any show from maiden Not sure about the book of souls yet I will definitely Che k again

One of the best Maiden tours of all time.. Although I felt like they left a lot of songs still unplayed .. it just means I don't have to come back and play again .. overall sound was great except for the vocals cutting in and out throughout the night lighting was amazing scenery was amazing the typical Iron Maiden show . But the Oakland Coliseum is a horrible venue the conditions of the restrooms the concession stands there's a reason why the Warriors one out and I don't blame them .. The water to the restrooms were turned off halfway through the night you could wash your hands you couldn't flush the toilet, disgusting... if that again welcome to Oakland .... I can't wait to the chase center is open stay in the restrooms state of the art concession stands .. and you might want to work on your food selection this is the Bay Area , it's a shameThe Oakland Coliseum operates the way does...and that the fact that there was no Usher help to help with seating is a mystery to me ?

Was an awesome day with awesome friends at awesome show

Opener Ghost b.c. was amazing Maiden put on a crazy good show.

Iron Maiden is great! One of the few bands that still have all the quintessential musicians still performing with the group. I like the earlier albums best (Killers, Piece of Mind, The Number of the Beast, Powerslave), and although they do a variety of songs from these albums, I wish they did more. But all songs were great and heavy and rocked out! The sound in the concert, although loud, was a little muffled and not completely clear. I do not know if it's their sound system or the venue. Eddie is awesome! Live long Iron Maiden!!

It was an amazing show. Plan on seeing them again in the future.

I don't know if it's the venue or Iron Maidens sound people but it didn't sound great. It kind of sounded like bad cell service. I couldn't hear half of what he was singing and about halfway through it seemed like they turn up the volume to a uncomfortable level that hurt my ears do to the pitch. Now I've been to hundreds of heavy metal concerts and volume has never been a problem for me.

Venue was way too warm. Opening act of Ghost was great. Vocals were hard to hear. Have seen better Maiden shows.

I love Maiden. They never disappoint. Love this tour. Can never say enough about Maiden. Bruce is utterly amazing.

The show was great.. love Maiden! Well worth it, I hope to see them again!

Ghost was a great opening act, Iron Maiden surpassed my expectations. Incredible sound and great stage show. Made me feel like a teenager again.

iron maiden was great from start to finish they were full of energy which mesmerized the crowd,i loved every moment of it.

Best sound and lighting yet. Fear of the dark best version yet.

They are still hitting it as hard as they were back in the 80's... Didn't miss a beat. 4 out of 5 because the sound system had a lot of echo, not sure I would see another concert at Barclay or if it was poor planning on Maiden's part... Didn't know a lot of the new tunes, but no point off for that, it's my own damn fault!

I traveled all the way from Beijing, China, where I currently live, to see Iron Maiden leave it all on the stage for the final stop on their Book of Souls Tour and it was worth the effort. The first time I saw this band was in 1982 and their energy and precision is as good as ever. Bruce proclaimed that they have more ideas in the works and that they will be back and I believe him. And why not keep it going? The crowd loved every minute and even though they played a lot from "Book of Souls", the band rocks and I left happy. As long as these guys keep playing, I will pay to see them.

Great performance , great theatrics, both bands ROCKED!!!!!!!

The concert was perfect!!! I went with my daughter, she is 7 years old and she loved!!! It was really unforgettable!!!

Iron Maiden never disappoint. At 58 Bruce Dickinson was flying all over the place with relentless energy, impressive after having cancer. Band was tight sound was clear and stage was impressive!

It was an amazing concert. The sound quality was outstanding and the band keeps the crowd entertained the whole show. Highly recommended.

although it's a pretty good album now that I got used to it, it was a pleasure to hear those songs played, if destiny should fail, speed of light, the red and the black, title song, when the river runs deep and death or glory( with Bruce donning a monkey mask as per chorus line). special treats, wrathchild, powerslave, number of the beast, fear of the dark, the trooper, iron maiden, blood brothers and closing out with wasted years. went to the show in Newark as well back in june, can't wait to see them over and over again, UP THE IRONS!

Classics and tracks from the book of souls were balanced and they sounded awesone

Sound was bad and the stage set was very cheap. Nothing new presentation-wise. With the exception of Bruce, guitarists flapped around like a bunch of goofy wounded ducks. Bruce was strong but save your money. Waited a long time to see these guys what a let down.

I thought I had overspent for my GA ticket but it turned out to be the best concert ticket I ever bought!!! Iron Maiden rules!!!

So impressed with the musical talent and overall sound of this band after all of these years. Great show.

Took me back to my teen years! Brought back a lot of memories! # best band ever!

Before we begin: If you have never been to a concert, PLEASE, please, please do not cut your teeth at a Maiden show. No band in any genre does live music better than Iron Maiden. If you start with Iron Maiden, every other band you ever attend will disappoint. On to the review. Entering the venue: Barclays Center gets you through ticket scan and security faster than any arena I've ever been to, and I've been to many. The venue itself: try not to get a seat above Row 15 in the 200 level; that's where the roof trusses start and they do goofy stuff to the acoustics. Below that you'll be fine. The hall itself is fairly new and very beautiful. Preshow: standard stuff - they played tapes of rock music and did their final sound and radio checks while the crowd arrived. It is what it is. The opening band: One of my friends who had seen this package six months ago described Ghost as "hilariously bad." Apparently attending the Iron Maiden Schiool of Roch 'n' Roll for six months does a band good. They were fine. One thing I really liked: Ghost is a young band and their biggest song is Square Hammer. It's not like it's their greatest hit, it's the only Ghost song anyone's ever heard of. They opened their show with it - good move, guys. Changeover: Down to a freakin' science, man. Ghost's whole stage set is on wheels. Release the locks, push hard and break the set down backstage. Maiden: The ONLY way this could have been better for the fans, the crew and the musicians is if they would have added "Heaven Can Wait" to the set so the backstage folks could have joined the group on stage. Other than that, it was flawless.

Went to see Iron Maiden on 7/19. Got right in with Premier Parking, so no problems there. My main issue was the horrible sound the entire night. Not sure if it was the venue's acoustics or an equipment issue. Bruce's vocals were either unintelligible or screeching and distorted. Either way Maiden were great but they sounded like absolute garbage. Disappointed to say the least. Took about an hour to get out of the Premier Parking lot but, based on other people's reviews, I can't really complain about that.

Iron Maiden was great, but Barclays center was extremely hot. No air conditioning.

Bought these tickets months in advance for my husband as an anniversary gift. All that waiting was well worth it. We were GA and only had a few people ahead of us. We could see everything. The energy the band had was AMAZING! I've been to many shows and I have to say this was the best. We even left with a drumstick for our daughter who was named after the band! Maiden said she can't wait until she's older to see Iron Maiden after we showed her the videos we took!

Maiden is one of the best performers bar none and this show was no exception.

Ghost and Iron Maiden both rocked the night. It was great show. GA was awesome even though I was standing.
