Last night I took Josh to his first gig, to see the mighty Iron Maiden. It is impossible to describe how good they still are. Professional, energetic, ridiculously talented. There is no band to compare to their excellence. I'm glad Josh got to see them live, he hasn't stopped talking about it since. Only 8 years old, but he'll remember it forever.
I sat listening to the final song, Wasted Years, and thought about the fact that the album Somewhere In Time was released 30 years ago this year. I remember especially walking to double Games in Year 11 with my tape player, as we all sang this at the top of our lungs, our whole futures ahead of us.
Never in a million years would I have imagined that I could be sitting at an Iron Maiden concert thirty years later, singing that same song with my son. Perhaps life is almost complete after all.
