Music Monday: Iron Maiden

I first found out about Iron Maiden when I was very young.  I found a cassette of Live After Death in my local grocery store.  Back then I would buy albums based on the covers and Live After Death was one of the coolest.  That started my heavy metal obsession.  So here were are, almost thirty years later.  I've seen Maiden twice in concert.  The first concert was was No Prayer for the Dying Tour and honestly I don't remember what the other concert was but it was pretty fucking awesome nonetheless.  I remember when I was young I wanted to be a singer like Bruce Dickenson with long socks and all.  Good stuff.

Do you have a favorite Iron Maiden album?  Did you see them in concert?  If so, where?  Please share in the comment section below.
