A £37.16 convenience fee would get you up to a nice, even £666

A summary of where things stand as of today - 18 shows have been announced so far. The big questions are: will Athens be the first concert? (it hasn't specifically been announced as the first - but that doesn't mean that it won't be) are they going to fill in any of the gaps? There's currently...

Do you have links to your other reviews? (I can search through your posts, but wanted to check if you already have all the links somewhere).

Similar here in Toronto. Lawn tickets have been cut to $41 CAD (so $30 USD).

I saw Judas Priest with Queensryche in Hamilton (about 1 hour west of Toronto) in 2022. 5th row centre, tickets were $124 (Canadian). Now the comparable seats are $258 - $291. Yes, it's in Toronto rather than an hour away, and Alice Cooper can draw a bigger crowd than Queensryche, but the price...

I wonder how many shows they'll play in Canada. If I've added this up correctly, here are the Canadian concerts they've done: 23 - Toronto 21 - Montreal 20 - Quebec City 12 - Edmonton, Vancouver 10 - Calgary, Winnipeg 7 - Ottawa 4 - Regina 3 - Halifax 2 - Hamilton, Saskatoon 1 - Chicoutimi...

This is off topic but The Who just performed two shows in Toronto. The 100 level seats were $610 Canadian (approx $440 USD or 375 Euros). To be clear, those weren't "platinum" tickets - just basic seats! They were lowered to a mere $535 a few days before the show. They had thousands of unsold...

I think you're right about that. Piece of Mind has a fair amount of variety. Flight of Icarus and Sun and Steel are predominantly in F#. Revelations and Still Life are mostly in A. Where Eagles Dare, Die With Your Boots On, The Trooper, and Quest for Fire are primarily in E. To Tame A Land goes...

That's the rookie version. Here's a 24 minutes remix!

I found this image online, it's an interesting summary. Looks like it's set so that the height of the album cover equals 10 minutes: Source - link

I was hoping the band would play (for the 2nd time) in Asuncion, Paraguay. That's a country I'm interested in visiting - but, given how well the tour has been selling, it looks unlikely that they'll play in such a small market. Que lastima!

Out of curiosity, what songs have you been able to figure out?

These are the two that jump out to me. As far as I'm aware, these are the only Maiden songs written in F minor and G# minor. I always found the F power chord towards the end of the instrumental section in "To Tame A Land" quite jarring.

I've always found the intro on The Clairvoyant tricky. I always want to cram in more notes. The riff is completely straightforward from a technical standpoint, but some of the notes need space so that they can breath. The key is to play less, not more (which is counter-intuitive for Harris)...

And that was purely a timing error. It wasn't a matter of him not being able to play fast/hard enough, he just came in on the wrong note.
