Iron Maiden: Dance of death Hammer.
Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, USA. 24.01.04
Description
This is the famous night where an idiot
throw a beer over the soundboard so at the end there weren’t encores and at the
end of Iron Maiden when this happened, sounds terrible
since the PA blow away, this is the Maria version, there is a second version taped by Francois, sounds a little better
than the other version, it is good not amazing but with this big problem can´t
be rated higher, here you can read what Rod Smallwood wrote the same
day about the incident.
From Iron Maiden’s
web site:
“25/01/2004 Hammerstein drunken idiot
Its Sunday morning and already l see many
posts in the forum. On behalf of the band and myself all of you have our symapathy, especially the many of you who travelled great
distances to be there. This gig sold out in a matter of minutes when it went on
sale last December and we know, being the weekend show, a lot of you travelled
in from many parts of the USA and Canada.
For those who aren’t sure what happened,
some idiot in the first couple of rows on the mezzanine above the mixing desk
thought it was a good idea to chuck his beer in the air rather then down his throat. It landed on the desk blowing too
many channels to be retrievable. This prevented us playing any encores. We are
very sorry for the fans there and we know you know there was absolutely nothing
we could do. Believe me the band were gutted. It was a great gig up til then. Thanks from the band for the good natured way you
accepted this bad news – we always say Maiden fans are the best.
Maybe we will see some of you again on
Monday or Tuesday and to anyone else coming along, remember beer is to be drunk
not thrown at a gig. And to the idiot who caused this, l do hope you learned a
lesson.
Rod Smallwood”
