*According to The Flint Journal, Bruce Dickinson slipped and fell face down Thursday night (August 4) at the Ozzfest concert in Clarkston, MI after galloping up one of several narrow staircases leading to elevated platforms stage right and left during "The Trooper".

"Quickly leaping up and running to the edge to assure fans he was unharmed, Dickinson led the sextet (energized by guitar alchemists Dave Murray, Janick Gers and Adrian Smith and busy bass thumper Steve Harris) through the band's early years," writes The Flint Journal's James R. Chesna in his review of the performance.

"Gaining steam with each number, Maiden performed only songs from the group's first four albums, making gems rarely heard in the United States, such as 'Phantom of the Opera', shine like new.

"All of which led to headliners and metal granddads Black Sabbath, who while hindered by frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who confessed to be ailing, still managed to rumble the rafters with metal blueprints such as 'War Pigs', 'Iron Man' and 'Paranoid'."
