Location: Toronto, Canada | Amber - I'm in Toronto too. And I can understand 100% what you are saying.
Maiden and Twisted are my 2 all time favourite bands... I was first introduced to both of them at the same time - Powerslave and Stay Hungry - and then they toured together and that was my very first concert - Maple Leaf Gardens, Nov 30/84. And yes, I was crushed when the show on the Come Out and Play tour was cancelled (lack of ticket sales). Fortunately, since they have reunited I have had the good fortune to see them a number of times. I am just hoping this show does not get cancelled. Ticket sales have been very slow but Massey Hall really just started advertising today, and there is going to be a huge marketing campaign now through show date, so I am sure the venue can sell by then.
As far as playing whole albums - well the Maiden situation was unique. I do like the new album and liked the show, but granted they did not have to play the whole album, and I know a lot of people that were disappointed by that. Fortunately I have seen Maiden every time since that 84 show so I have seen them a number of times. On the other hand, Twisted Sister will not be playing the entire Christmas album. According to Dee's Dee Speaks update on his site last week, they will do 7 songs from the Christmas album and 10 TS songs. I guarantee they will rock your ass off. Do not miss this show!!
