The Future Past Tour 2024

[bearfan]

Going on Saturday in Fort Worth (I saw the tour last year in Vancouver) .. looking forward to it. Especially since they are playing there instead of their usual venues around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Really nice arena that was built for concerts primarily versus sports. The sound is excellent Hope they make this their regular venue around here

Wow, that would have been something to see this original jacket live! Why were the fans in Newark chosen for this? I'm a bit jealous.
No, I am happy for them.

If Bruce was being on the level, it was random as they’d just rediscovered the jacket the prior day. Take that for what it’s worth.

I’m just glad I was there to see it in person. Up the Irons!

 

[Poto]

some fills feel like they bring the songs to screeching halt for a second.

This is the issue. At their peak they would just power through any tempo increase like a well oiled machine.

The jacket has been sitting at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a small display case for at least the last few years. I saw it over the summer. It even says courtesy of Bruce Dickinson on the case. I’m guessing the Rock Hall shipped it out to them in Pittsburgh in time for him to wear it in NJ.

I’ll be in Ohio again in a couple weeks, maybe I’ll stop by the Hall and see if the jacket has been put back since then, although I am not in a hurry to check out the Hall of Fame again.

Does anyone have attendance figures for the US tour yet?

Have some of the gigs been properly sold out?

The tour went very well, only Tacoma was under expectations but the other cities were 85 - 100% sold out. So same as in 2022, really disappointing is Mexico City.

 

[Christopher Baines]

The problem is not the tempo itself, but the fact that it drifts within the songs too much and some fills feel like they bring the songs to screeching halt for a second.

You mean like Lars Ulrichs fills?

Going to see Maiden tonight in Baltimore. I'm expecting a great show.

The Baltimore show was amazing. Bruce was in incredible form. This band is a machine.

Bruce said it was the best crowd on the US tour and that they’d see us in 2 years.

Biggest crowd pops of the night were for Fear of the Dark, The Trooper, and Wasted Years.

Few things in life are better than a Maiden concert. See them while you still can!

Maybe im wrong but it was the fastest nicko so far?

Nah, that runaway train of a CSIT a few weeks ago was faster.

This was fast (not as fast as that) but more importantly consistant performance under control, which is a great sign.

More importantly: Run For Your Lives is the 50th anniversary tour according to Bruce (said it at the end of Wasted Years in Baltimore).

Ah yes, what a nice way to celebrate 50 years as a band: by only playing songs from 12 years worth of material.

Guys, I already told you there will be part 2.

I hear that everywhere. Everyone wants to see them live again, some mention it explicitly "in the classic line-up one last time", meaning with Nicko.

I have now come to believe they could play whatever they want, classics, reunion, it would sell sensationally, as long as it's Maiden playing.

Yep, part 2 with new song in the setlist. Then when they are ready, album #18 release and tour for it.

A part 2 only celebrating TXF-their newest album? I doubt it. No way Maiden has planned a tour 4 years in advance at this stage. Care to share your source?
