Actually, I was mistaken, it was the '03 tour I last saw Iron Maiden.

Coincidently, I have been working on a kind of "concert diary" by combing
through the hundreds of tickets, notes and memories of all the shows I've
been to so far. This list is about 95%% complete as there'sa few shows I
know I caught around '93 - '96 especially that I can't find old ticket stubs
