Nothing will ever top the Aces High production from 18/19. This video, albeit it has a very cool intro, doesn't excuse the sub-par performances of the song now.

Melodyne might get called into action...

There’s not enough RAM on earth to handle that request.

I can kinda understand him, I love the clairvoyant. Would have preferred some other song to be swapped for Infinite Dreams, but still: Infinite Dreams > Clairvoyant

1981 to 1985 Bruce is still what IMO is his peak. And nobody takes such a nosedive during their 20's like Bruce did from that tour to Somewhere On Tour without something really unusual happening.

Nah. Bruce's peak was in the late 90s. He had a powerful voice, massive range and consistency, real vibrato technique and could easily keep it up for an entire show, with an encore of such easy songs as NotB, Hallowed and RTTH. He had a decade of absolutely stunning performances if you look at 2005 for example. Even as late as 2011 he was still able to deliver absolute asshole songs like The Talisman.

Yup... although there's already a somewhat decent version of what it could be on the Rainmaker single, I think.

It’s on the No More Lies EP. It’s a great version of the song.

I also understand different opinions and how people prefer different things, but for me personally Infinite Dreams is their best song.

It's all subjective.

As I said in a previous comment of mine, I'm not more excited because of the addition of Infinite Dreams nor am I less excited. Both good songs!

As long as the flow of the setlist stays the same I'm happy

*cough cough* Not trying to mention the horrible flow of the setlist in 2022 with the first 3 songs in that setlist making no sense to the theme of that tour *cough cough*

Late 90s to early 2010s was his peak IMO.

That should be a joke!

Is it just me or Simon is playing more comfortable than last year

Wasn't The Talisman moved earlier in the set due to it's difficulty after the Moscow show? After that Bruce started nailing it.

 

[Brigantium]

Oh my god, I wish I'd put that bet on now!

 

[cyanopsis]

Quite a few people in here seem to have forgotten that this tour is still called Run for Your Lives. The hype for changes and ultimately disappointment is your own creation. The one and only change was written on the wall.

He is. Much more relaxed feel. I was afraid of the grooviness of ID, but he nailed it.

Agree to disagree.

He would sound better with a better drum sound. It's a criticism I had of Nicko in the last years as well, the "boomy" and full drum sound doesn't fit maiden that well

The intro is super cool, but it doesn't excuse what follows.

 

[karljant]

Maiden could pull of a S&M like Metallica, absolutely. But it wouldn't be a tour, just a one time show.

I think there will be A LOT of complaining from fans if Empire would be played in a regular setlist. I remember lots of people complaining about Death of the Celts in 2023 which is 8 minutes shorter than Empire.

Agreed... just 1 show. And no matter the tracklist (unless it was something completely unapropriate) it would be great.
