I went to this show! I grew up in Long Beach and I had seen UFO several times already, and this was the post-Schenker era. I had only just discovered Maiden when Killers came out. I played it for all my friends and two of us went to this show and bragged about it forever unto this very day.
I remember Iron Maiden pretty well. Somebody passed me a joint just as UFO was going on. After that, it’s all a pink blur of lights.
