Concert Reviews - Live Music is Back! (2 Viewers)

Last night - Live in San Antonio Texas, I attended Iron Maiden with special guest "The Hu".

Wild and wonderful concert! Interesting to the board - The Hu, opening act is from Mongolia and I am not sure how else to describe it other than I felt back in time preparing for battle riding with Genghis Khan. They are a large band, use a lot of effects, but each song literally sounds like a war march! They were more like a thundering herd. Interesting to say the least, not sure if I would listen to them again, but they were quite unique.

Iron Maiden - Caught Somewhere in Time is the best way to describe the set. In their 60s, they still blow away any band of today. Complicated music, operatic vocals, story, showmanship and production. Worth it again. I will see them everytime they come around. 5 Stars.

Met Zakk Wylde at Emos in Austin Texas to see Zakk Sabbath again. Great show and he is just a cool guy. Outgoing and humble at the same time. He signed a guitar for me (Zakk Pee Wee), it was my son's first electric guitar now over 15 years ago. Going to surprise him at Xmas with it along with a photo when he was 5 playing that guitar. It was a pain flying it out there and back, but will be well worth it.

Other 2 bands - Zoso (Zep tribute), they were ok, had the look, but too much of an imitation on Robert Plant - sounded near perfect on a few songs, but on these misses, they were big ones. Surprise of the night - The Iron Maidens - all female tribute band, and actually where Nina Strauss got her start 15 years ago (She is now Alice Cooper's guitarist among other projects). They are fantastic, anyone who is a Maiden fan should check them out. Wish they were the only opener and played a longer list. It doesn't hurt that they are beautiful both in looks and personality!

Next up is AC/DC in April in Dallas.
