Alternative fan made version.

The bass intro to Blood on the World's Hands. Then Steve repeated the idea in The Red and the Black, but the former is quite worse imo.

I don't know if anyone on the forum has considered this possibility or if we actually have precise information about it, but could it be that Adrian lost some of his guitars used in live performances during the fire that destroyed his house in L.A.? Or is it the case that the band's main gear is...

To me, there's something about Maiden's weakest albums—they still manage to crank out an all-time classic, even when the rest of the album isn't that great. The Clansman and Sign of the Cross on the Blaze albums, or When the Wild Wind Blows on TFF. But No Prayer for the Dying hasn't a single...

Compared to the TFP Tour, this setlist has many almost certain spots, leaving little room for deep cuts to be included. I don't expect as many novelties as we saw with Alexander, Stranger, and Icarus. I'll be satisfied with Phantom and Rime coming back, two of my favorite live songs from them...

Are the backdrop images to this tour posted somewhere online?

I attended the São Paulo gig last night, and it was an incredibly emotional experience—clearly a disguised farewell from him. Enjoy your retirement, Nicko. You were so brave and professional to continue playing on this tour despite your health issues.

RIP Paul. Despite his long history of attitude and behavior, he seemed in recent years to be a more likable guy. He made friends here in Brazil, playing alongside cover bands, performing at small local venues, and interacting with fans. Sad news for the Maiden community.

Yep, I'd take it a step further—if you picked the best Nicko-like drummer and Bruce-like vocalist from cover bands around the world, it would sound better than any post-2016 Maiden performance.

With the current members, it is likely the last one.

Wembley Stadium vs Wembley Arena. One draws 40k+ people, the other gets 15k-25k.

It was about time Maiden to bring POTO back to their shows, as it's likely their only all-time classic that isn't too demanding on the vocals and drums. Funny how a song from their very young age fits well their senile era. lol

My hype for this tour is driven by two things: 1. a completely new stage set, and 2. three or four deep cuts from that era. Otherwise, it would just feel like another ordinary classics tour.

100%

To be honest, I'm very satisfied with the fade-out at the end of HoE as Maiden's last studio recording. It fits perfectly for this purpose. I think the anniversary tour is a comfortable moment to end this era. And even if it seems like an end, there's always the possibility they might return...
