Adrian's second solo on TRATB could well be his best ever. Move over SIASL !

Haha. I didn't need Google for Valente. As well as being obsessed with all things Maiden, I am a long-suffering Everton season ticket holder !

I can't separate TRATB, TBOS and EOTC. The inspirational instrumental sections of TRATB have a very similar groove to the instrumental and lengthy fade out on Starship Trooper off the classic Yes Album, without really sounding much like it. Probably sounds weird but I know what I mean !

Don't forget Nuno Valente as well. Champions League winner and ex Evertonian

1. Iron Maiden 2. Charlotte and The Harlots 3. The Holy Smokers

I'd wager they will play either These Colours Don't Run or Benjamin Breeg. As for this 'classic' that Bruce said they never play live and will surprise us all...To Tame A Land would be my guess. Would be ecstatic with this or CSIT but perhaps wishful thinking on my part

It's about time Maiden played Liverpool Echo Arena. Last time they played Liverpool was on the Inter City tour in 1990 after the release of NPFTD.

I think TBOS will be the final studio album and the forthcoming tour will be the penultimate, before finishing off with a huge farewell tour. Perhaps performing one song off each studio album. Hopefully many more documentary/history/concert DVDs to be released though as well as live archives...

1. Piece Of Mind 2. Powerslave 3. SSOASS 4. Somewhere In Time Not much in it though !

I reckon the last 4 albums stand up remarkably well with the first 7. I'm not one to bash 90s Maiden but NPFTD, FotD, TXF and VXI are not in the same league as the 11 that bookend them.

I reckon Montsegur and Fallen Angel fit right in with the songs on Powerslave.
