Awesome video, dudes just like me, Metal Nerds!!!! Derek Riggs artwork just freaking yelled and beckoned me as a kid!! You said K-mart and where I grew up until I was 13 was Umatilla Oregon and Hermiston was a bigger town 4 miles away and the store that was comparable was Payless and when I went there I went straight to the record section and checked out every 12x12 artwork and I knew with everything in my being that just from the covers Iron Maiden kicked ass and I was 110% correct!! I have the first 6 albums including Maiden Japan sealed original pressing framed hanging on my living room wall baby!!! Those were the times that great metal music was being released everywhere and still holds up and I still listen to every single day!! Good to hear the thoughts of like minded dudes!!! Next month Portland Oregon is going to rock, crazy I bought the tickets on fan club presale like 10 months ago or something! I have this album with the textured human skin sleeve and can’t forget Mickey Mouse is hiding up on left side of cover. Good to know that I’m not alone being in my 50’s with a room my younger self would shit, with all my posters funko’s, memorabilia, reaction figures, ticket stubs and tapestries everywhere!!! Rime of the ancient mariner is my favorite song and made me cry hearing it live!! Good shit guys and keep it 100% metal!! Oh and I forgot about my 30 plus Maiden shirts that is included in my over 60 metal shirt collection

My first concert was the World Slavery Tour. Scott Whitfield's brother Guy took us. Still have my original vinyl of Powerslave and Live After Death. This was Maiden's peak, in my opinion. This show is like watching That Metal Show with real metalheads. Waiting for Steve Harris to make an appearance.
