Interesting that they're able to just axe that section out on the fly like that.

Ehhhhhhh, that one I don't foresee happening. ;)

I certainly do think there's a whiteboard up at Maiden Towers that has the next rolling five years or two tour cycles thought out.

"ROOOOOON. LIIIIIIIIIIH TOOOOIIIII FLAAAAAAAAAAAR"

Could be much worse. We could have him going on two-minute rants about Britney Spears again.

Sounded better in Bratislava.

I'm considering going to the London shows. Saw them in Syracuse to kick off this year's tourdates.

Hearing details about the operation from a friend had me in disbelief. "They snuck in drones... BY TRUCK!?"

Oh, I haven't even noticed anything off with Powerslave and think he's doing a thoroughly solid job so far. I guess you're perhaps right on this just being his way of doing the Murders intro as the rest of the band and the pyro haven't had much of an issue getting in right on the beat. (Unless...

I haven't seen an extremely high definition picture of it, but it does appear to be a new costume - just re-using the Trooper theme.

I'm not sure about that. Ultimately the feedback they care about is the box office, and considering this tour sold like hotcakes as soon as tickets went on sale (and likely before the setlist was finalized) I don't think the fans minded the deep cuts.
