HEAVY metal veterans Iron Maiden rocked the SECC so hard last night they blew the sound system, in an awe-inspiring set that delivered a full-on dose of rock theatrics.
The audience in the packed auditorium was so eager to get close to their heroes that there was a small crowd-crush at the front of the stage, causing frontman Bruce Dickinson to stop the set only two songs in, urging the crowd to take two steps back so that the people who had fallen could get up again.
"We want to be taking people out of here tonight happy; we don't want to be taking them outin body-bags," he cautioned.
After a short breather, the band launched back with Can I Play With Madness, Dickinson star-jumping and leaping around the set, with a boundless energy that would leave young pretenders The Darkness breathless.
The gig almost came to a premature end when, after a thunderous intro with bombshells exploding and a storm of light and smoke, the band launched into extra-heavy riffs and the sound immediately cut dead.
After just over a minute they were powered-up again and rampaged through Lord Of The Flies, Hallowed Be Thy Name and Fear Of The Dark.
Dickinson took the opportunity to lay to rest rumours that the band are planning to split, quit touring or won't record another album, before the encores. They included excellent acoustic number The Journeyman, from this year's Number Two album Dance Of Death, the band's 13th release, and The Number Of The Beast.
All that was left was the galloping anthem Run To The Hills, before they left the stage, Dickinson saying: "We've had a cracking night, I'm so proud of all of you."
It was a night of superb showmanship and all-round fantastic entertainment from one of the UK's most influential and energetic rock bands.
