Iron Maiden was mind blowing. It was cool seeing how the songs have evolved since Vegas, I particularly noticed an additional melody from Adrian in Tears of a Clown and of course Bruce's wrestler mask! Also wasn't Adrian playing his solo on Hallowed at one point? My memory is fuzzy but it was definitely Janick tonight.
Other things worth noting:
Big malfunction in Speed of Light when Adrian's guitar cut out right at the beginning. Got a nice cowbell solo as a result.
There were still some rough moments in the songs, which surprised me. It didn't ruin the show at all obviously, was just something interesting. The instrumental section of IESF had a very rickety start and Wasted Years had some tempo issues. They nailed Tears though.
Bruce tried several times to get the crowd pumped during Death or Glory, but they weren't interested.
Crowd response during Fear was much better than in Vegas, however.
The Red and the Black was seriously built for a live audience. I urge anybody who isn't a fan to wait until they see it live before writing it off. This was the one new song that got the audience pumped too.
Bruce sounds more tired than he did in Vegas, but that's understandable.
Blood Brothers went down better this time.
POWERSLAVE
Overall, I'd say the Vegas show was better but this show definitely had different highlights which is good.
Also, weed is stupid.
