Just reflecting on Eddfest, can we have Phantom and Powerslave every tour please?

Don’t forget Dave using Crate Amps in 1992! That always seemed a bit odd to me.

Aces High was as expected. I was leaving during FOTD but he sounded ok. 2MTM sounded good to my ears.

Despite my usual criticisms of Bruce and song selections, I was completely rooting for him. I uttered the phrase ‘Come on, Bruce’ multiple times in my own little way of showing my support. He handled it like a complete pro. It’s tough to see one of your idols struggling with illness and the...
