Wow - May is becoming quite the concert month. My brother Dave sent an email the other day and taunted me with a concert on May 28th at the Concord Pavillion. He had me at "Iron Maiden"

I am glad that The Maiden has figured out what us old people want when we go to concerts. We don't go to hear their new stuff. That is what the radio is for. We want to hear the 20 year old standards. I think they are ready to show us that. From the Iron Maiden website:

This tour revisits the band's history by focusing almost entirely on their classic 80's period in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which is based around the legendary Egyptian Production of that 'Powerslave Tour' as portrayed on the Live After Death DVD. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented. Furthermore the band intends to bring along for this summer leg of the tour the colossal mummy of Eddie, as featured on the Live After Death DVD, along with various other elements of the show that would not fit on their 757 on the first leg of this tour, which included the shows at the Forum and Izod Centre. Sadly no jumbo has a door big enough to fit in such a massive and imposing monster!!!

If that wasn't enough, my friend Tom hits me with an email tonight: May 31st - Bimbo's, San Francisco - Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine!! Check out YouTube if you have been living in a cave and are not aware of The Cheese.

Yes, I know. I live a blessed life.
