Fan-filmed video footage of Bruce Dickinson calling out a pot-smoker in the audience during the first show of the second leg of the band's "Somewhere Back In Time - World Tour 08" Wednesday night (May 21) at the Verizon Wireless in San Antonio, Texas can be viewed below. "Would you please put that fucking shit out?" Dickinson can be heard saying on the tape. "My lungs are trying to work up here, dude," he added.

I was at this show. I didn't get the impression that Bruce really cares if others smoke pot, as long as they don't blow smoke in his face while he's on stage. Earlier in the concert, he joked about smelling it, and said something about Maiden no longer partaking of such things. He didn't complain until someone up front started smoking it like a chimney. I could see the clouds from where I was, quite a ways away.

Bruce's complaint was that the smoke messed up his voice, a valid complaint for a 49 year old man who needs to hit those high notes, night after night, while running from one end of the stage to the other.
