Ma ka Poaono wela a me ka mahuahi o ka huakaʻi i waho mai koʻu home hema o New Jersey a hiki i Brooklyn. Nui ke kakali nui ʻia ʻana wau e ʻike Hemolele a Ka hao Maiden no ka hopena o ʻO ka puke wahine a ka wahine a ka ʻuhane.

He ao hou loa ia naʻu ma mua o ka hele ʻana i Brooklyn a ʻaʻole hoʻi au i ʻike i ka bana kaila Ka hao Maiden ma mua. ʻOiaʻiʻo ua lohe wau i nā moʻolelo he nui e pili ana i kā lākou hōʻike epic, akā e paʻa paha ka hōʻike i ka hype?

Ua ʻike wau he mea maʻamau ʻole ia e ʻike ai i ka hōʻike hope loa o kēlā me kēia mākaʻikaʻi, akā no ka ʻike ʻana i ka hōʻike hope loa o kahi mākaʻikaʻi i huakaʻi i ka honua holoʻokoʻa no hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapalua ka epic. Ua ʻike wau i ka bana wehe Hemolele ʻekolu mau manawa ma mua a ua lilo i pā nui loa. Aia nō wau i ka concourse ke hoʻomaka ke mele ke mele prerecorded, "Masked Ball".  Hemolele ku i ka papa me Papa Emeritus i ka piha regalia; no makeup eleele a me keokeo piha a me kona aahu eleele e like me ko ka Pope. Ua wehe lākou i ka pāʻani ʻana i kā lākou mea hou "Square Hammer". ʻO lākou ka pāʻina pumehana kūpono no Ka hao Maiden i ko lākou hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka manaʻo ʻeleʻele a me ka makaʻu i ke kahua.

ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua wehe ʻo Papa Emeritus i ka lole a ua hoʻonani ʻia i ke kapa ʻeleʻele. Hoʻokomo ka hōʻike keaka i nā kāʻei aniani puka aniani nui a me nā mīkini noe. He hana kupaianaha kā ka bana i hoʻomehana ai i ka lehulehu a pau me ka Monstrous Clock. Inā ʻoe i loko o ka ʻano weliweli i ke mele, Hemolele He hui maikaʻi loa ia e loaʻa nā leo wai, nā kani o ke kuamoʻo, a me kahi hōʻike immersive maoli. Akā maikaʻi e like me lākou, ʻaʻole ia ka papa nui.

Ma hope o ka lōʻihi lōʻihi i ka wā i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ai ka manawa no ka mea kaʻao Ka hao Maiden e lawe i ke kahua. Heleʻeleʻele ke kahua, a ʻā koke nā ipu ahi i ke kahua. Ua hele ʻo Bruce Dickinson i luna o ke kahua. Kūlou kona poʻo i ke mele ʻana i kekahi o nā mele hou o ka pāʻina, “Inā E Holo Ke Ao E Pono”.

ʻO ka lehulehu ka uila a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ikehu ma ke kahua nui.  Ka hao Maiden lawe ʻia kahi hōʻike kupaianaha. Ua lele pīhoihoi ʻo Dickinson mai kahi ʻaoʻao o ke kahua i kekahi ʻē aʻe e hāʻawi ana i ka lehulehu i kāna mau mea āpau. Ua kipaku ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia ʻuneke o ka ikehu a me ka hou i loko o kahi hana i hala i hoʻokahi kanahā mau makahiki i loko o ʻelua mau hola kilokilo metala.

ʻO ka mea i hōʻeha loa iaʻu ka nui o kā lākou hāʻawi ʻana i kā lākou mea pā i ʻākoakoa mai ʻaneʻi a puni ka honua. Aia ʻo ka mascot o ka bana ʻo Eddie i nā ʻano like ʻole. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia i nā kua kua like ʻole ma hope o ke kahua, ma ke ʻano he mea nunui i ukali i ka pā ma o kā lākou mele. I hoʻokahi manawa ua puka ʻo Eddie mai ka hope o ke kahua, kū ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻumikūmālima kapuaʻi ke kiʻekiʻe a hoʻomaka i ke kaua i ka pā! I ka hopena ua hoʻopakele ʻo Dickinson i ka lā ma ka haehae ʻana i ka puʻuwai o Eddie a pahu aku iā ia i loko o ka ipu ahi.

ʻO kekahi o nā mea nui i kēia hōʻike ʻo "Children of the Damned", "Wrathchild", a me ka "Trooper" kaulana loa. Ua hoʻopau lākou i ka hoʻonohonoho me kā lākou mele ponoʻī Ka hao Maiden. Ua hoʻi ka pāina i ke kahua no kā lākou encore pono kūpono. ʻO ke mele mua, ʻo lākou paha ka mea i kaulana loa, "Ka helu o ka holoholona". Ua ukali lākou i kēia me "Wasted Years" a hoʻopau i ka hōʻike holoʻokoʻa me "Blood Brothers". I ka hopena o "Blood Brothers" ua huki ʻo Dickinson i lalo i kona lole komo a hoʻolei i nā ʻāpana lole āna e ʻaʻa nei i ka lehulehu huhū e makemake ana i kāna mau kākini.

ʻO kēia kahi hōʻike aʻu i ʻike ai ʻaʻole loa wau e poina. I ke kū ʻana o nā kukui o ka hale a ʻO Monty Python's ʻO "Bright Side of Life" i pāʻani ma luna o nā mea kamaʻilio hale aʻu i ʻike ua ʻike maka wau i kahi mea kūikawā. Hauʻoli wau ua hiki iaʻu ke ʻike maka i ka hiʻona, ka mea hanohano, ka hao ʻo ia Ka hao Maiden!
