"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Voglio Eddie

Un piccolo Eddie che gira per casa.

"A matter of life and death" cover

Veramente un grande spettacolo, ieri sera, nonostante il gruppo spalla (i Triwium o qualcosa del genere) non siano un bel vedere: tengono il palco abbastanza da schifo, con quella testa a molla che li fa sembrare quei pupazzetti da mettere sul cruscotto dell’automobile, e della musica si riesce a sentire ben poco, con il cantante che urla come se avesse una pigna là dove non batte il sole, il batterista che colpisce tutto ciò che si muove e il chitarrista più invasato (difficili da distinguere) che, come si dice in gergo meneghino, "gratta il formaggio".
Devo confessare una cattiva impressione anche per il primo pezzo deli Iron: da dove eravamo noi, sembravano un pochino i Greenday (fatti un pochino meglio, s’intende). Va da sé che poi è stata tutta un’altra musica.

"Different World"
"These Colours Don’t Run"
"Brighter Than a Thousand Suns"
"The Pilgrim"
"The Longest Day"
"Out of the Shadows"
"The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg"
"For the Greater Good of God"
"Lord of Light"
"The Legacy"
"Fear of the Dark"
"Iron Maiden"
"Two Minutes to Midnight"
"The Evil That Men Do"
"Hallowed Be Thy Name"

Decisamente un grande spettacolo (anche se è sorta una diatriba sul "nuovo" look di Bruce, perché secondo me stava meglio prima mentre secondo il mio ragazzo sta meglio adesso: sta di fatto che qualcuno dovrebbe spiegare agli uomini bassi che non si devono mettere la giacchetta e le scarpe da tennis a meno di non voler sembrare appunto il cantante dei Greenday). Molto bello l’allestimento del palco, una trincea su cui Bruce saltellava, e notevole l’apparizione di Eddie prima sul carro armato (lo voglio!) e poi sul palco, o viceversa, non ricordo. Probabilmente il pezzo migliore è stato Fear of the Dark, ma forse solo perché è il mio pezzo preferito: una grande interpretazione, tra l’inizio "mimato" e il finale con un lento camminare fuori scena. Il resto… beh, sono grandi. Quand’è che tornano?
