Iron Maiden - Eddie Rips Up Europe - Summer 2005 (Long Sleeve)

Heavy Metal ChemistThu, 04/08/2022 - 10:32

Finally, after years and years of searching I finally got my hands on my most wanted long sleeve 🤘😍🤘 This absolute stunning shirt was sold during their Europe 2005 tour and features the insanely awesome 'Live at the Rainbow' artwork. The color scheme is stunning and the colors are so vibrant.

This was the first tour on which I saw my all time favorite band and what a show it was!!! This was their 'Early Days' tour in which the played only bangers 🤘😫🤘 from their first 4 albums. I couldn't have lost my 'Maiden virginity' on a better show than this one. UP THE IRONS 🤘

For those who don't know the tour I'm talking about, check the videos below. This show is intimidatingly good 🤘😫🤘 Just listen to how the band and Bruce sound. Incredible!

I don’t remember anything from the setlist but this was probably the show where some guy standing not too far away from us in the crowd was ripping one disgusting fart after the other. Never figured out who it was exactly but damn, he reeked of putrefaction.

🤘🤣🤘 This is probably the only thing I didn't miss about gigs during Covid times....those nasty smelly beer/fried food farts 🤢 Every concert there is at least one such incident....😵

Congratulations on finding this killer shirt! It’s such a great feeling to find that ever elusive hidden gem. I also saw them for the first time in August of that year with Black Sabbath. It was at the the Ozzfest, one day before the famous Sharon Osbourne and Bruce Dickinson dispute where she and some others pelted the band with eggs.

Heavy Metal Chemist on Thu, 04/08/2022 - 21:50

Thank you mate! It took me 17 years to find someone willing to sell this stellar shirt. It is indeed a great feeling, and like a little kid I was constantly checking the tracking updates 😅 I felt just as ecstatic as when I got my hands on the Somewhere Back in Time - Assen Event shirt (https://tshirtslayer.com/tshirt-or-longsleeve/iron-maiden-somewhere-back...) which took me 12.5 years to find 🤯 Like that shirt, this long-sleeve was definitely worth the wait.

Cool that you also saw Maiden for the first time on this spectacular tour. I assume you enjoyed it a lot 🤘😁🤘 The band was on fire that tour!
Luckily you were not at the infamous 'Ozzfest incident show' 🤣🤣 I understood the sound was also cut off at several moment during their performance. At least Maiden continued like true warriors, not caring about the damn eggs.

Love this shirt! It was the first tour I saw Maiden on too, at Reading Festival. Wish I could’ve gotten this shirt there - I don’t remember seeing it at the merch stand!

Heavy Metal Chemist on Sun, 03/03/2024 - 20:06

I also don't remember seeing this shirt at the merch stand, but being poor as a rat (I was a student at the time), I also didn't tempt myself by looking too long at merch 😅 I understood from some other fans that this shirt sold out quickly during the early dates of the tour. There are not a lot of these around. Are you hunting for it?

dcb2000 on Sun, 03/03/2024 - 20:11

Makes sense it sold out early on - it’s awesome! I’ll keep an eye out for one, but I’ve never seen one come up on eBay or anywhere else. Impressed you found one! 👍

Heavy Metal Chemist on Sun, 03/03/2024 - 20:15

I guess I was lucky I found a guy who was willing to sell it. I made a post in the Iron Maiden collectors facebook groups, and this dude contacted me 😅
