The Future Past tour 2023

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

You don't have to censor "fuck" here.

I know, the basis of this text by me was used somewhere else and their system censored it. Just copy pasted it.
Fuck

Nicko reading this thread...

 

[Azas]

We're really discussing how much Bruce is running in a show. Might as well hire a scouting football website to get his heatmap during the concerts and compare his distance covered.

it's because he's long distance runner.
Confirmed!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Would you say that you'd like to see him with growing confidence and growing strength in the air?

Far more than I'd like to see him naked by the throne of kings.

Any stream?

Look at the height of the stage OmG its like bruce singing at 2,5 meters . I miss that bit and tall stages

 

[Azas]

Now that's a STAGE!

…and well done. It's possibly the last great stage and lightning rig

Why is that so much bigger than the stage on Maiden England '88?

 

[Sabawish]

The comments on the actual video are largely focused on Nicko too so it's not just a few miserable naysayers on here trying to ruin everyone's fun

What is Janick doing with his lead at 2.45
Also, Bruce interacting with the screens around that time

 

[Error674]

Not sure whether this has been posted before, but I absolutely love Janick's solo on here. Always thought his solo on HoE was underrated, but this one is especially great.

IMHO, the thing is that they should replace some songs to make the show more fluid :

- Death Of The Celts by The Parchment
- The Prisoner by Sea Of Madness
- Fear Of The Dark by The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner
- Can I Play With Madness by Futureal
- The Trooper by Deja Vu
- The Writing On The Wall by Lost In A Lost World

Why would you replace WOTW, the catchiest song off the new album with Lost?

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

Just watched Bruce run down those stairs at the end of Moonchild in that Barcelona clip and went "Fuck that noise" imagining myself faceplanting down them.

I think if anything they should replace Death of the Celts with Lost in a Lost World. I think it be be a more crowd friendly song.

Funny! Arry lol

 

[onurb]

just watched few videos of second night in prague and nicko played better imo. despite the simplified parts, he almost played the same tempo of the sit original recordings. noticed this is stranger, wasted years and even in CSIT (he even did some double bass during the song). alexander was another song that he played hitting hard and almost in the same tempo of original.

Other thing i noticed in wasted years: the bass drum sequence in the beginning of the song is identical to the original. this is funny because nicko rarely did this part identical to the album version.

Anyway, the old grandpa is almost 71, has arthritis is his wrists for a few years and probably has a body not in 100% condition since is recently got his cancer cleared. All this angry comments about him is unfair in my opinion.

Agreed he is steadily getting better it seems. He might’ve been very cautious the first night with the difficulties they were having, the high workload of new songs, and not feeling 100%. Let’s hope he keeps going for a long time to come!

The thing is, we all know Nicko is old and understand it's hard to play drums for Maiden, and he sort of is excused. But it doesn’t make the performance better. If it's bad it's bad, simple as that.

He still does quite well, but I think this might be his last tour. Or next year that is. The entire band are working really hard to make it sound good now. Harder than ever. I suppose we will see. But enjoy every single gig folks. I know I will.

maybe the problem is that some people go to the concert thinking the band will deliver the same stamina they delivered in an album released almost 40 years ago. or they'll give some performance level they did until ~2016. its kinda impossible.
