The Soul of a Man's Birthday Bash.
Happy Birthday Harold!
Fireproof, passionate and dangerous are just few words to describe the soul of my life-long friend Harold Thurber.Always calm, consistent and filled with a powerful fire that will warm anyone's heart with joy and laughter. Not everyone believes this, of course, and those who doubt me, are without wisdom. It is no accident that Harold has many friends and in private conversation, he'll tell you how he really thinks. With that in mind, we wish Harold a happy 47 years on this Earth.

| Judas Rising |
Without delay, it was time to celebrate this birthday bash at Nighcaps with two very powerful Metal acts, Judas Rising & Maiden Chicago. Frontman, Joe Martina kicked-off the night with all the classic Judas Priest songs such as
"Jaw Breaker" and
"Breaking The Law." Packed with a solid a punch, other members include: Neven Trifunovich and Briant Daniel (Lead Guitars) Kevin Cobleigh (Bass) and Scott Davidson (Drums). The crowd was fierce at Nightcaps, wanting more heavy metal thunder!

| Lead Vocalist, Bill Swanson. Maiden Chicago |
Next, Maiden Chicago took the stage and launched their set with a brand new Iron Maiden Song. The room darkens, the sound flares and
"If Eternity Should Fail" captivated this audience with an outstanding introduction. Lead vocalist, Bill Swanson is a true showman and can still hit those high octave notes each and every time. Steady galloping bass lines from Gary Ingram, two dueling guitarists Al Contreras & Mike Z and drummer Dan Driskill make up the rest of this five piece foundation. Other songs such as
"Wasted Years," "Powerslave" and
"The Trooper" had most of these spectators thrashing and banging their heads, hungry for more Maiden! The time had come to conjure the Jester with one more song
"Run To Hills." This was indeed a good birthday celebration, filled with friends, food and more fun on this Saturday night.
Generally speaking, the night was full of amazing energy with incredible people. Judas Rising and Maiden Chicago gave folks that fatal mix of Metal with ringing in their ears from the amplifiers. But not for too long. The aftershock slowly wore off, and soon I found myself sitting at the computer writing up this review. As a result of all this madness, I will honestly say this has been the best live performance in 2015. Until then, UP THE IRONS!!
