1/30/1987 - Iron Maiden: Somewhere on Tour

In the late 80s you didn't ask "if" Iron Maiden was coming to town, you asked "when".  And when you had Mike as your friend you didn't ask whether we wanted to go, you asked when and where we should show up to camp out for tickets.  Mike was a Maiden nut.  We had great seats and the show was awesome.  Mike spray painted a bedsheet with some Maiden-like art and we took it with us.  Way too big to display from our seats at one point towards the end of the concert he threw it towards the stage.  He had written a note to the effect of "You guys rock.  Call me if you want to party.  281.555.5555 or something like that hoping a band member might take him up on it.  Mike also planned a post-Maiden party.  We had a keg and everything.  Mike and Fred got really trashed.
