In August 1982, Maiden made their second performance at the annual Reading Festival. For this Maiden had to make a round trip of about 12,000 miles (from El Paso, TX to London to Los Angeles, CA), all for one gig! They had a couple of warm-up gigs a few days before the big night, but Bruce was still “petrified with fear” right before the Reading gig. They almost didn’t make it on the flight there, since Bruce and Dave Lights had opted to take 3 of those horse tranquilizers and didn’t wake up properly for days. Also Bruce was so nervous 36 hours before the gig, he actually lost his voice totally, and was worried about the show going on at all! The gig for the band wasn’t without incident either. At first all the band could hear was Steve’s bass, then that cut out so completely so Steve panicked. Dave Murray was playing with one ear stuck inside his guitar cabinets; Adrian Smith was wandering around looking bewildered. But apparently the crowd really didn’t notice and all was cool. Incidentally, they supposedly always get really nervous before special gigs like this.
