Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

Denver has a noise ordinance so they had to finish up by 10:30...awesome show and there may be nitpicking but they were on tonite! Awesome setlist...
 
Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

I have a feeling that Brighter was removed to shorten up the set just a bit.  That Dallas set list is one of the longer ones they've done in awhile.  While I'm not a huge fan of Wrathchild, you gotta throw the old timers a little bit of a bone, and that song always works well live.

And there's something about Bruce's timing on Brighter live that never seems to make the song work for me anyway, as awesome as it is musically.

I'm just excited they seem to be rotating Dance of Death and Paschendale.  Finally a set list reward for those of us going to multiple shows.

One month to go!
 
Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

Well then, doing the math...
Assuming nothing changes, I guess that means Detroit gets Paschendale.  Not a huge issue either way for me, though I do prefer DoD.

That much I can quote openly, it's not a spoiler.
Nor is it a spoiler to note: Dream Theater started 20 minutes early (7:10). That's how Maiden managed to get the full set in before 10:30.
Pissed me off, because I was still in line at the gate, and missed the first DT song.

I did not look at the exact time Maiden started, but...
I checked my phone at one point, and it was 8:25. I thought, "20 more minutes". But: Doctor Doctor started just a couple minutes after that.
Maiden also had no other intro music: they just walked onstage and started playing after Doctor Doctor. So I'd guess Maiden hit the stage between 8:30 and 8:35.

Note that the early start and lack of intro are probably only for cities with noise laws like this. Normal cities will get a normal show, I'd guess.

Wow, I'd get banned for that?
By the way, the highlights of the show were
Ghost of the Navigator and The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg.
 
It is strange how they swapped an 8-minute Paschendale with a 3-minute Wrathchild.  Maybe its so they would to done before the stupid 10:30 curfew.
                 
no wrathchild replaced BTATS they dod replaced paschendale
 
Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

I don't think Wrathchild is there because of time issues. The crowd was full of people who didn't know the reunion-era songs. After two songs from BNW, the energy level was clearly dropping. I think Wrathchild is there to get the crowd back into the show.

Which is probably the same reason they put it in the Early Days tour, replacing the less-known Charlotte the Harlot. It seems this is the song they keep ready to repair a weak spot in the set. Being so short, they know they can use it and never make the show run long.
 
Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

i thought something was broken at the beggining of the show bruce seemed to be stalling a bit when introducing
el dorado
 
Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

Yes, he had microphone problems all night. I think it was a wireless problem, and H had some problems with it too (but far less).

The show was always advertised as starting @ 7pm, wasn't it?  Pretty sure that's what the websites and tickets said.

I know what you mean about the lines - took a *long* time to get in - not sure if they started letting people in late, or what...
 
Re: OFFICIAL tour thread. SPOILERS of ALL kinds await you inside!

So, looking at those..

..setlists, there isn't a pattern yet. Until now, each time the third and/or the fifth song are different.
There were three different setlists of which the second returned. Thus, while writing this, the first and the third setlist are the most unique. Let's see if that's going to change tomorrow in Albuquerque.

My ticket said 7:30, as did the Live Nation site. Maiden's site did not post a time, they redirected to Live Nation.

This doesn't have to be spoiled - your description of the link contains nothing spoily.

(Still I suppose, better to use spoilers, and let us mods un-spoil it.)

Looked at the photos, and I love Steve's t-shirt...
Whale Oil Beef Hooked

I'd love to know what Steve's shirt is referring to...  had the same one on at Denver last night and we were wondering about it.

Bizarre - my ticket says 7 - nice of them to be consistent - NOT!

I hadn't heard about that joke until this tour... I immediately broke out laughing.

Here's to hoping
that they eventually drop Wildest Dreams and No More Lies. The Dallas bootleg makes me think that No More Lies isn't much of a live track.

I personally love the latter of those tracks and am looking forward to hearing it live (well, I'm looking forward to the entire concert, it's my first Maiden show  :bigsmile:), but I definitely agree with removing the former. What would you think would make a suitable replacement? I'd have to vote for
Rainmaker; it's one of my favorite songs since the reunion, it looks good live from the videos I have seen, and to me it would just work very well in that spot of the setlist, it's fast start is a nice change from the slow introduction of both Blood Brothers and No More Lies.
