Last night in Reno, Nevada, I had the opportunity to see an all-female tribute band, The Iron Maidens, perform at the Virginia Street Brewhouse. As I eagerly awaited in the upstairs balcony for the show to start, I couldn't help but notice that the band took quite a long time to come out on stage. However, once they finally appeared, and the first notes of Aces High filled the air, I knew we were in for a treat. Despite there being a noticeable off-ness about the band, they still managed to put on an incredible show. With their impressive musicianship and powerful stage presence, The Iron Maidens had the entire audience on their feet and singing along to classic hits from the legendary band. While their delayed entrance may have been a bit frustrating, it was ultimately a minor issue in comparison to the overall amazing performance that The Iron Maidens delivered.
The band members flawlessly played their instruments and delivered powerhouse vocals, showcasing their incredible talent. Fans were treated to a night filled with iconic Iron Maiden songs. Overall, while there may have been some issues behind the scenes, The Iron Maidens still managed to put on a great show that left the audience satisfied and wanting more.
They performed a setlist that spanned Iron Maiden's extensive discography, including classics like "The Trooper," "Run to the Hills," and "Fear of the Dark." Each song was delivered with an intensity and passion that paid homage to the original band while adding their unique touch.
Lead vocalist Kirsten "Bruce Chickinson" Rosenberg commanded the stage with her powerful voice and captivating stage presence. Her ability to channel the essence of Bruce Dickinson was truly remarkable, as she flawlessly hit every high note and delivered the lyrics with passion and conviction. The audience couldn't help but be in awe of her talent and dedication to the music.
From the very first note, it was clear that these talented musicians were here to deliver a performance worthy of the Iron Maiden legacy.
