I think so. It was my first Maiden concert and after all tapes with Rush, Purple and Doctor Doctor. Lights Out , everybody screaming and started the first notes of Man on the Edge , No pyro, anything , poor stage production, but they sounded amazing

I think you're right. I don't remember any intro being played before Man on the Edge and I can clearly remember the intro of the Virtual XI tour. For me that was the first time I saw them live with a (classical) piece being played before the first song.

For virtual xi was a classical intro and lights like the world of the worlds type. Red lights moving.

Maiden typically use something like 5 or 6 mins of taped intro. Started noticing this on BOS tour.

That’s 5% of a two hour show that Maiden don’t actually have to sweat on stage!!!

You may also include doctor doctor, and I recall when that preceded transilvanya, that was about 10 mins of band-free entertainment for the packed hall!

Maybe it’s just me, but the taped intros on RFYL feel longer. Probably because I’m not the biggest fan of Killers (the album).

Now The Future Past Tour: Doctor Doctor, Blade Runner, and then the CSIT intro built up the intensity perfectly.
