It's entirely possible that they plan to release a new album as a part of 50th anniversary celebration at the end of the year.

With these comments, I think they are likely planning to record next spring.

Well, I think this points into one direction: IM recording in spring 2025. Future Past or a GMETID style tour in Europe, summer 2025. Alexander and Hell On Earth probably stay in the setlist in both scenarios. Less likely, but not impossible is an epics-heavy tour. Autumn 2025 is Bruce solo...

He is suffering on Darkside. AoB works well. I'm against downtuning on whole Maiden set, but would welcome it on tougher songs like TETMD and Hallowed. That said, I think Bruce's range isnt the main problem with Maiden nowadays. Nicko nursing himself back to full strength is.

Agree for TCW, Abduction and BTP songs, but disagree about AOB songs. During AOB Bruce had something to prove and went ham with vocals. TCW, despite him being at the beginning of his prime, has easier vocals, probably because the tunings got lower and the overall album was darker (lower vocal...

I think he should consider downtuning for 3-4 toughest songs in solo and Maiden sets. Half step down. It would do wonders for performances.

The thing is, that Bruce could make the performances better of he moved Darkside earlier in the set (he has done that before with The Talisman in 2011). He is singing incredibly well for a 65 year old cancer survivor, but a few simple decisions could make his life MUCH easier and the...

Well, adding another gig at the same location is low cost - high reward. I'd say they might do it.

Live album preparations have reached the next stage. Bruce sneezing (4:32), coughing and has a runny nose. Almost there. Mistherea has also morphed from Keytar Cowboy to Keytar Magician.

That is not an indicator. Maiden almost always take a picture in Dublin or at the last show of the tour and there was no live album. Bruce's live album is rumoured to be recorded in Brazil.

I heard that he has been living in a room with a 125 dB industrial stamping machine without hearing protection for the last 3 weeks and plans to remain there until he gets the tracks.

Exactly.

It's a tour shirt mistery box.

I think if the rumours of a live album are true, they might keep playing the same setlist until the album is recorded. Then, they might get adventourous with the set again.

It seems like it's the same setlist as previous 2 shows.
