I think you should go and you may be pleasantly surprised. I’ve found that’s it’s not good to judge based solely off of live videos. I thought Rob was slipping the last 15 or so years but when I saw Priest last year I was blown away by how good he sounded.
Sure, he’s not as powerful as...
Albuquerque, New Mexico, Journal Pavilion, June 16 2010 - The Final Frontier Tour

Tears of a Clown
Shadows of the Valley
Maybe it’s just me, but the taped intros on RFYL feel longer. Probably because I’m not the biggest fan of Killers (the album).
Now The Future Past Tour: Doctor Doctor, Blade Runner, and then the CSIT intro built up the intensity perfectly.
I am listening to the audio recording of the San Siro show and I feel that the tape intro of The Ides of March is pointless. Why not just start with the tape intro of Murders in the Rue Morgue? Is it because of the video intro? What am I missing? It’s too much tape at the beginning imo.
I love this gem from 2018. I guess Nicko’s bass drum gave out around 6:19, which caused him to do an early snare hit at 6:24 which derails the whole thing. They find their way back and eventually the bass drum gets fixed around 8:10.
I’m not a drummer either, so I can’t speak as to how Simon plays vs Nicko. However, it’s gotta be the snare. Something sounds so strange about it to me. It’s a bit weak, and it doesn’t sound quite right. Although he does play well and has some good fills.
It’s funny how opinions are huh? On the contrary, I really don’t understand how so many people think it’s one of the strongest songs on the album. The drums are cool, but that’s about it (imo).
The Book of Souls, for a couple reasons.
The first and most important being the incredibly dull and disappointing title track of Senjutsu. I will never get over the disappointment of first listening to the album, and listening through that god awful title track, waiting for it to get...
Because they are charging astronomical ticket prices in large venues, and many people are still buying them. Yes, they’d do better if the prices weren’t as high but the tour still looks like it’s going to be a success, contrary to what some might have you believe.
And you are just as annoying as I now come to expect.
Maiden are doing fine, so fine in fact that this is the first tour that I cannot afford to go see them!
