Although Iron Maiden has never been among my top 10 favorite bands, I've 
usually made it a point to see them when they play locally as they always 
put on a solid show.  And I'm pretty much with you, I lost interest after 
the Seventh Son album although I like a couple tunes off the "No Prayer for 
the Dying" and "Fear of the Dark" albums.  Like I mentioned, this week's 
show was probably the 2nd best show of the 7 or so times I've seen them 
since '82, falling just behind the original '85 Powerslave tour.  Seeing 
them play "Ryme of the Ancient Mariner" for the first tour since '85 was 
worth going in itself. You're going to have a blast.
