As previously reported, Iron Maiden’s July 12th set at Madison Square Garden with Dream Theater was a doozy! MS photographer Jacqueline Cheng thought so too — although various contingents within the MS Mansion disagree — and was there, camera in hand, to document the action. Cheng captured some fantastic images (and words! har har, see what I did there?) from Dream Theater’s set before being unexpectedly booted from the photo pit when Iron Maiden’s set began, but still managed to snap a few shots of our favorite Brits too. Her pics, after the jump.

    great Pix !
    saw them 2 nights ago here in Detroit…DT were on Fire !
    too bad they didn’t let me bring in my camera ! I checked with the box office TWICE before the show and they showed me a paper with Maiden Logo saying YES cameras are allowed for Maiden Show !

    James, your grey is showing!

    And, why does Jordan Rudess get to have music notation in front of him when Petrucci and Myung play just as many notes/complex parts and have to do it ALL from memory? is anyone else bothered by that?

      watch their budokan 2nd dvd and you will know why Rudess have (notation) pad infront of him.he’s actually the only member in band who has Perfect Pitch…aka can play pretty much anything he hears right away.

    Where I saw this show, there was a notice at the front of the venue that said Iron Maiden were going to be recording video of the show. Something tells me the reason he got thrown out of the photo pit is because they didn’t want anyone to be taking pictures of what they’re probably going to turn into a tour DVD

  • Doc

    That’s a great candid pic of Mike Portnoy’s favorite drummer!
