"The dance choreography was off. Only one guitarist was doing it."

The live drum tone for the band was absolutely excellent starting with the first leg of Legacy of the Beast. Ehhhhhh, I think the banter was always minimal on both iterations of the Legacy set. There was only really one banter break, 2018-19 was prior to The Clansman, 2022 was before Blood...

Can't speak on RFYL until I see it in person, but, setlist aside, I think the performance was actually better on The Future Past compared to Legacy of the Beast 2022. The first show I saw in 2022 Bruce's timing was there, but the Chicago show he was definitely off on Senjutsu and Run to the...

Substituting RFYL for a mashup of Live After Death's 40th Anniversary with the 25th anniversary of Brave New World. 1. Aces High 2. 2 Minutes to Midnight 3. Ghost of the Navigator 4. Die With Your Boots On 5. Out of The Silent Planet 6. The Trooper 7. Phantom of the Opera 8. The Wicker Man 9...

I think after The Future Past a standard hits tour was the necessary call. Future Past was as niche of a tour as you could get focusing on a 'new album' that was two years old at that point and a classic album that, legacy-wise, isn't as highly regarded as the one preceding it and the one...

I DON'T WANNA WAIT FOR THIS TOOOOOOUR TO BE OVER

I know Chicago was nearly an instant sellout (it's a market where, if you ask me, demands a second date like NYC/LA - it's been a very strong market for them), but there were several dates that had notable soft sales. Legacy 2019 was strong, 2022 had some clunkers but was still solid overall.

I think if the next tour isn't for a new album, there's going to have to be some sort of actual angle to it besides "Here's a bunch of stuff we didn't do last tour."

Made sense to get the Senjutsu stuff out of the way first in a LotB-set. If Eternity Should Fail was a more mid-tempo opener, but it at least had the instrumental break where it shifted into a new gear, Senjutsu doesn't have that so it fell flat in my book.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Could have ended up much worse, but Bruce dislodging Nicko's gong in 2023 causing it to fall on Nicko was interesting. Checking YouTube, the Bruce gong bit went sideways more than I thought.

It's funny when you imagine him going "Nooooo, that's too bloody violent" to the first suggestion then going "Bloody brilliant" to the second. :D

Think that was at the Bristow (Wash DC) show. Bruce totally loses his place either the first or second verse and it standing on the riser staring down at H and Steve staring back up at him. Then Bruce just says "Fuck it, I'm going home" then walks back down the stairs off the riser. I forgot if...

Because a suggestion of a song placement swap for Run For Your Lives in the tour thread worked for my brain, I wanted to re-organize LotB 2.0 to see how it looked. Knowing three songs had to be scrapped to make place for the Senjutsu stuff, I've got... Legacy of the Beast 2.0... 2.1? 1...
