"Don't fucking kill the bloody drummer. It's bad for bloody business."
Steve and Adrian worked out hard in Hannover.

A soccer match including a jersey swap: Steve Harris (center) with Pascal Helle (left) and Christian Katz of Hannover 96. The bass player felt it was "an honor to be able to play here."

Simply a match to clear the head: Adrian Smith (left) played doubles with tennis crazies Stefan Seifert, Nicolas Kiefer and Florian Petrow.

Damn, gongs are insanely expensive and that looked like it hurt. Hope it mostly surprised Nicko and didn't hit him too hard.
Surely that has to be the end of Bruce pissing about with his kit

For one moment I thought you were going to tell us that they went to work in a mine for the day!

Damn he absolutely killed it here. Guess he doesn't need to pull his punches when it's just two songs?

A three song set for the RnR HoF ceremony would be glorious. Just sayin'.......but fuck'em

What's the skinny with Bruce and the cover band? Where was it? I'll be distraught if it was Dublin and I could have went

What a total gift this tour is. I don’t understand the criticism on here from some.
If you had told the 13 year old me I would see Maiden revisit Somewhere In Time, I never would have believed you.
Senjutsu is the natural follow up in my opinion as I mentioned to Bruce, and now it’s here. The tour I thought could never happen.
The boys sound better than ever, and come London next week, I will be 13 again.
Maiden forever.

The video description says it was at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and that it was a party/farewell event for the RAF's retiring of the Hercules aircraft.

The Guinness is because it's Ireland, although saying that it might be Murphy's or Island's Edge given the venue contract, but as far as I know the tradition isn't that corny. The first time they did it was at the first gig in Ireland in 1990 and the reason they had a beer on stage maybe because Bruce became a father for the first time earlier that day.
