The Iron Maidens ROCKED The Knitting Factory Concert House (Reno's #1 club for rock and roll) on Saturday July 17, 2010

As I drove myself to this show, I wondered if these 5 very good looking, sexy girls really had the chops to pull off this whole Iron Maiden thing.

Well, not only did they pull it off but, they preceded to blow the roof off the knitting factory. Turns out  these girls can really play rock and roll 'Iron Maiden" style, all the videos I watched on youtube did them no justice. (sound wise)

They opened the show with Aces High and went on to play  2 Minutes to Midnight,  Boots,  Icrus,  Where Eagles Dare,  The Wicker Man,  Remember Tomorrow,  Killers,  Sun and Steel,  Genghis Khan,  Trooper,  # of the Beast,  Purgatory,  Phantom,  Hallowed Be Thy Name  and one encore,  Run to the Hills.

The set lasted around 90 minutes.

This was a very high energy show from beginning to end, and the crowd of over 400 was rockin' the whole time.

After the show, The Maidens came out to sign autographs and pose for pictures (this is why the knit rocks) VERY COOL !!!

When the "Iron Maidens" come back to Reno be sure not to miss them !!!
