Ni kali aku cerita 100% pasal tengok Maiden kat Hisense Arena je,

First time I took some photos of Maiden in action on stage. Its chaotic with all the pushing and movements and blockings especially as the Australians are taller and stronger. Not as good as the qualities that other Maiden fans got, but I am happy with my own efforts and I will treasure the photos always.

Tengok cammana kawan Maiden aku ni siap sedia dia punye bootleg taping equipment, dah siap pakai microfon dalam baju, microfon ada batteri sendiri aku masih ok, tapi siap ngan filter buang bass terlebih tu aku tak tahan haha.
Standard nye bebual...rekod semua wav. format. Self satisfaction. Jumpa ngan kawan dia satu ni pun taper, dorang dua berbual, aku diri tepi je la dengar.
Kawan dia dengar aku travel jauh2 cakap " well, thats commitment " haha.
Ni aku baca kat internet, Melbourne nye Hisense Arena ada 4 rakaman dah timbul, aku nak carik semua la...buat kenang kenangan...Event tshirt Australia, ada orang sua beli untuk hantar pergi Belgium bila nampak ada jual. tak kecoh tu peminat Maiden satu dunia sms2 satu sama lain untuk dapatkan benda2 collectible ni.
Konfem 4 rakaman ni kualiti rakaman berbeza2.

Arrived early, go to the Merchandise store which is still being set up and wala... an event tshirt and there is a programme already printed.
Sorry to those who asked to get some tees, one tshirt is already AUS$50 and I only got one for myself besides getting tees for my love ones. The programme cost AUS$10.



The Melbourne crowd is like not that eager. I even remarked on the forum that compared to the excitment of the Singapore Indoor Stadium crowd which as far as I know go nuts at the start of the intro tape of Doctor Doctor, the Melbourne crowd was like standing in the elevator listening to piped classical music. And I am quite in front. But things got better once Maiden starts playing..
Maybe they are pampered with Maiden? 2008 twice at Rod Laver and 2011 an arena intimate show which I attended plus a Soundwave Festival Headlining performance a week later.

Finally Below is one of my fave photos -
Because it shows Steve Harris looking the audience in the eyes and singing and believing it, Dave Murray with his brightness and smile, Adrian Smith concentrating and feeling, and Janick Gers ever with his usual showmanship.. on the big screen, Bruce Dickinson the ever super performer. All these stances are exactly the same way of my own impressions of each of them.

I will upload more photos at deafeningforever.blogspot.com next few days or next week...
