I LOVE Iron Maiden. Legit. One of the few bands from my youth that I never moved on from.

You saw Maiden in 1980??? Holy Shit! What size of venue? Where?
I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen Maiden or Priest. WTF is wrong with me? My wife has seen both a few times.

Redbull has paid me to disclaim this.

I saw Priest open for Kiss in 1979. My first big rock show.

I always mic the bottom. If I get tracks from somebody with no mic on the bottom I re-amp the snare track with a snare drum sitting on top of a Fender Pro Jr and mic the snares there. I almost always have an 1176 plug on the bottom snare fast attack/slowest release.
BTW, tried this today on a mix to lengthen snares and holy shit did it work well.

I forgot about that reamp trick. I have done that a couple of times. It's cool. I'm going to try that 1176 setting.

How important is the mics being mirrored to each other? I always wonder if I'm only trying to do that because I like visual symmetry.
