Mmh, while I personally wouldn't trade any track from the current set (excluding Frankenstein cover) to a Tattooed Millionaire track, I admit that doing something like Born in '58 in the encore would be fun to see. But yeah, I understand the disappointment, although I personally don't mind (and...

Yeah. Bruce has had a big say in the Maiden setlists for a long time now and while RUN FOR YOUR LIVES theme kind of sets certain limits (=certain classics occupy majority of the set), I doubt that Bruce has even been too keen on including Flash of the Blade in Maiden sets... Like, he probably...

I can see your point, but if Bruce is playing one Maiden song in the set, I very much like that it's an extremely rare one. Of course it would be cool if Maiden did surprises like that, but... In the end, it's just one song in the set. They'll most likely do Revelations and possibly one other...

Yeah, I get why Accident of Birth is the established Bruce Dickinson set opener, but I think that Toltec 7 Arrival intro & Starchildren would work almost just as fine at that.

Great set. I fucking love the fact that this new era of Bruce doing solo material live est. 2024 came with The Alchemist. I certainly expected Bruce to return with his solo material at some point anyway, but I didn't dare to dream that they'd live debut The Alchemist in 2024, haha! One of the...

Not during one leg of the tour per se, but in 2008 they played in all the listed places! Of course using Ed-Force 1 for the first leg of the 2008 tour made it a lot more convenient schedulewise than it otherwise would've been.

True, true. Also, noticed that in the post I call the game "quite a Ture" (???) instead of "turd" as was intented, but oh well, gets the point across. :D phone keyboard word suggestions etc...

I love how almost every interview from that time makes Ed-Hunter sound so cool & epic adventure through the Maiden universe. Alas, the game ended up being quite a turd even in late 90's standards. To think that it came out around the same time as, e.g, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time... :D...

I might be a bit biased, but I'd say Helsinki was very strong one too, especially for Bruce; he was on his prime mode with Powerslave & Rime of the Ancient Mariner! ...okay, it probably doesn't really stand out from the rest, after all, but I still can't stop praising the pertormance of Mariner...

I think that the three most recent tours (LOTB-Future Past-RFYL) showcase that they actually aren't running out of ideas of how to brand tours that, essentially, cover a certain classic period, whether as a main focus of the show or just partially. That being said, I get what you mean; there...

Yeah, I mean Simon sure has a few hiccups every now and then and might have occasional challenges at keeping up with all the tempo changes, but it's notable how every single mistake or tempo-related complaint regarding their pertormance is often pointed out as Simon's fault, although he probably...

I agree that Mother of Mercy would've probably sounded a lot more dynamic & exciting live, but given that 2011 was one of Bruce's more inconsistent & weaker runs ever since 1999, I don't think the chorus would've sounded particularly strong... I mean yeah, he had some fantastic nights and a...

There already are :D Terrible setlist Worst Maiden setlist ever Damn, my "Terrible setlist" from 2021 got a bit close to reality with Iron Maiden & the game Eddie on screens... :D Intro: Transylvania & The Legacy of the Beast game trailer 1. The Number of the Beast 2. Wrathchild 3. New Beer...

I agree with the points raised about the setlist pacing when it comes to the two big epics, but their "closeness" to each other didn't really bother me at all. Both were among the highlights of the show and I loved them! Run to the Hills also felt, somehow, more enjoyable than on the previous...

I know that Finland is extremely small market when the airplay is concerned, but The Trooper has received continuous airplay as long as I remember. Of course it might be a tad bit less than The Number of the Beast, for example, but it's still out there very significantly. The Infamous single...
