The Future Past tour 2023

[Spaldy]

Getting ready for tonight. Anyone else going to Glasgow?

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.

I am afraid that is not factually correct.

Amazing Run To The Hills 2023 version!

Highlights for me were CSIT and Hell on Earth, Can I Play with Madness (unexpectedly) and Bruce holding the last note of Alexander the Great, just wow.

It was my 10th Maiden show and by far the best view I've had, I watched the whole thing from the barrier in front of Dave and Adrian, I loved the improved stage show and hope they double down on more lights and screens etc. for future tours. It looked cool in videos but being down the front during the blade runner intro is really cool feels like the lights are over you rather than in front.

The show flew by and I'm a bit gutted I can't make another date on the tour this Summer.

Also, did Nicko start drinking again? Or did he really ever stop?

When Bruce carried the tray of beers out on stage he said that one's Nicko's or something like that so perhaps it was 0.0% or something.

Nice one!

Out of the non-Maiden versions of the song, the one from the London Guitar Show from 2006 may well be my favourite.

That has to be the best I have heard Bruce sound on The Trooper for 10 years at least.

Falling gongs hazard...

Bruce "that's ridiculous! What if a gong was about to fall on your head?"

Nicko "well then someone better move me out the way or I'm dead, right?"

Mission from 'Arry 3: Role Swap II

We are getting a franchise at this rate.

Lol, I had thought about posting some kind of Mission From 'Arry joke. Well played, Sir!

 

[Iron Lurker]

I can't get enough CSIT performances.

I hope it becomes the new Wrathchild.

You want CSIT to become a song that many fans hate for some inexplicable reason?

New Album Tour 2025: Well, they brought back Futureal but dropped it after 2 shows for CSIT, that's just being lazy...

 

[Kalata]

Never gets old!

 

[MindRuler]

Are they drinking Guinness because it's Ireland? That's so fucking silly.

Next time they play Chicago someone buy these dudes a bottle of Malört.

Guinness >>>>> Trooper

Yep, there's a sticker marking Nicko's one as well, pic in the link

There was a mission from arry 2?

Skipping parts is only natural for a progressive band. In the era of long songs you can expect anything from Maiden!

Iron Maiden Irn Bru tees. I'd love for these to be official merch.
