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...

ANYONE ELSE?! ANYONE ELSE?!

We'll see! The showtime thing might very well be just making sure that they'll get the whole show out of the way before the curfew, even with potential delays or technical difficulties. E.g looking at all the event bureaucracy for the show in Helsinki, the "showtime" slot was basically...

Blaze's The X-Factor 30th Anniversary show at On the Rocks Helsinki 18.10. has been sold out for some time now, but apparently there will be an additional show on 17.10! So if any fellow Finns, or other potentially interested people, didn't get a ticket for the 18.10. show, you'll have another...

Apparently Bruce has more or less recovered from the cold he had some time ago and, judging by the clips I've seen, sounded pretty good on the previous show, so I doubt it.

Quite unusual, so perhaps that's why I kind of missed it..! ;) But yeah, apparently my joke detector was offline! :blush:

He didn't! He really supported me on the last album, because I wanted to make a video … the song is called 'Escape Velocity' and the chorus is 'I will fly.' And I said, 'You know, it would be great if we could use a flight simulator. And who do I know?' … I got in touch with Bruce, and he let...

What is a "proper hit"? I mean, I do think that The Evil That Men Do is a lot better song than Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter, but the latter is quite popular and, for example, still receives a healthy doze of airplay here - even more than this "proper hit." ;)
