RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

They opened at Irvine Meadows on the "A Matter Of Life And Death" show. I hadn't heard of them but was really entertained and enjoyed a chat with the guitarist during the set changeover. He told me Maiden & their people all treated them very well, which was nice to hear.
Glad to hear that- I went to the Detroit show of AMOLAD tour and no opener. Which I don’t mind since most of the openers on that tour were not my thing. But 3 inches would have been awesome ripping good time.

They were; they tore it up. He (sorry, don't recall his name) seemed really appreciative when I told him how well they performed.
 
Check killers live 99 is a b side from bnw singles. Those songs from 99 are 10/10
Aces high
Killers
Man on the edge
Powerslave
Futureal
I think thats all. I would love a live album of that tour
I know all of those, no worries ;)

But my point still stands: My favorite part of the studio version is the "I've done it again" scream, which is missing in the 99 version as well. Also, I really dislike the way Bruce screams from the reunion era onwards (despite loving his voice in all other aspects), so that version of Killers does nothing for me. Sorry.

A tragedy could have happened for sure.
One almost happened on the Maiden England 2013 show in Oberhausen I attended. For entirely different reasons though. We were standing towards the eastern edge (if we take the stage as north), next to a rather tame mosh/circle pit, which was right in front of the beer stall. On TETMD, the penultimate song, one dude was shoved with such force, that he fell and cracked his head on the ground. I was standing 20 meters away and still somehow felt the impact. We tore down the barricades so that an ambulance could get to him and as far as I know he made it with a head injury. Everyone around there was obviously quite shocked and the whole thing dampened our moods. Not the fault of the band or the promoters, just a case of human error and really bad luck.

edit: why not, the current tour shows that they have no ideas (since they ignore the 90's and the rare songs) for more History/Hits tours. Plus, they would skip the Blaze era, like No Prayer now, and it would be a Reunion celebration. Which would be popular enough, but maybe not after a new album tour. There should be a reason why this tour is only the first 9 (8) albums. Otherwise, what, more of the same?
I'm still hoping part 2--if there is one--will be a hybrid new album/'95 to present tour...but you're right. The Blaze albums will totally get the shaft if that's the case, even though Bruce likes doing Clansman and Sign of the Cross. They've been fairly well represented since the reunion, so I do imagine we'd get neither (or 1 at best) in this hypothetical).
 
They are taken down more videos on this tour than in FTP. Could be related to the new cell phone policy.
I smell a live concert release

As much as I love The X Factor and like Virtual XI - if No Prayer for the Dying was shafted, there's nothing that says that neither of the Blaze albums won't.

For those who can get to the shows, Blaze is performing The X Factor in its entirety at ten (I think) gigs later this year.

I don't know if that means we'll get the full Sign of the Cross, or the cut down version he and Absolva are fond of performing.

Blood on the World's Hands and The Unbeliever should be highlights!
 
That show has been pulled down already, but Stavanger is still up for now.

Not available any longer!

This is the moment they got to Aces High...
