Former Rainbow, Alcatrazz, and Michael Schenker vocalist Graham Bonnet attended Iron Maiden‘s show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on October 8 and loved it. The musician described his experience on a post made on his Instagram page, saying that he liked the pre-show song, UFO’s “Doctor Doctor”, which he used to sing with Michael Schenker. He had backstage passes and had the chance to see the band and take a picture with Bruce Dickinson.
Graham Bonnet went to see Iron Maiden and praised the band
“Last night, Beth-Ami, Conrado, Levi (Beth-Ami’s son) and I attended the Iron Maiden “Future Past” show at the Kia Forum. It was an almost indescribable event. From the moment we arrived and picked up our tickets and passes and were ushered into the Forum Club, it was perfection. We arrived early enough to see friends, have a nice dinner and then it was time for the show. I’m always thrown when UFO’s Doctor, Doctor comes on. I sang that with the Michael Schenker Fest and it takes a minute to register. I even asked Beth-Ami “what is this song, it sounds so familiar. ”
“Then Maiden hit the stage and it was like a gut punch (in a good way). The band is on fire from the first note, delivering a blistering performance from start to finish. Bruce is the consummate frontman with his almost thespian like physical performance all while belting out hit after hit. I was so impressed with the entire band. After the show, we headed back to the Forum Club for a quick visit with Bruce and his lovely wife Leana.”
“They both were so hospitable and engaging, we didn’t want to leave but there were loads of guests. So we grabbed a few photos and then we were on our way. on the way home, we all talked about what a stupendous show it was. I can’t even believe that they are going to do the show again tonight. The amount of energy that they expend nightly is unfathomable. I want to express my gratitude to Bruce, Leana and all the Iron Maiden gang for giving us this unforgettable night. Thank you all, ♥️” Graham Bonnet said.
