Exclusive Photo: Iron Maiden Visits Kansas City, Moon

By FLANNERY CASHILL

What’s remarkable about this cruddy, photocopied group shot of Iron Maiden?

Admittedly, this picture is worth one thousand words, including “whoa,” “holy shit,” and “shit yeah, Maiden.” Behold a band that can weather the atmospheric pressure of this bleak, alien landscape and still stand, arms akimbo, on the frontier of a new world. Behold the bullet belts, hovercrafts, and Nick McBrain’s “Coke Is It!” visor. But most importantly, behold Bruce Dickinson, and his souvenir from the heartland!
