A great version of Flash of the Blade indeed! Love it!!

Just watched some clips, but Bruce sounds in great form here. Too bad that when he was in Stockholm last summer he also had a cold/just recovered from it, so it hindered some of the performances. Love his solo stuff, opening with Accident of Birth is so hype.

Yeah it was fun seeing him coming back on stage and being like "wtf...?" and then go ".. there we go" to get things back on track.

That's a great point. Also in the case of Stockholm, the first night they butchered Phantom, so it was nice to see the song without that the second night.

Yeah I went to both shows in Stockholm, it was fun to try for the novelty, but it's not like Metallica where it's more motivated.

Hard agree. Still salty that SOTC was butchered in Stockholm haha.. the one song I was dying to hear, oh well.

RIP you legend. What a great send-off with the last performance.

The screens for Seventh Son were the highlight of the show for me, it was just so vibrant and epic. Loved it.

Agreed. I still hoped that they would play the songs album by album, as started with Killers. But I get why that maybe doesn't work when you try to pace a setlist. But the Clairvoyant should have been closer to SSOASS.

It's still such a vivid memory for me, it's my favorite part of the song and I was really looking forward to it.. and then that happened haha.

During Stockholm 2018 they badly messed up that part, to the point where I thought that they all might stop playing, but they did manage to salvage it. But if I remember correctly they said in the FC magazine that it was because Nickos kick drum broke.

Sounds like you had a great time! Love the feeling of a Maiden party, nothing like that pre-show hype.

Same here. But man, I really like the Wicker Man Eddie. Just wanted to say that.

Agree on all points. I was sceptical before, but when I saw the performance I got really moved actually. I don't think I'll think about Mama I'm Coming Home the same way ever again. I'm glad he got to witness the celebration, and I really liked the set-up. Was a cool show and tribute!

I got many of my first experiences with heavy metal and hard rock from Guitar Hero 2 and 3, and the first Rock Band. It came out at the perfect age for me, I got Guitar Hero 3 for my fifteenth birthday. It very much shaped my taste in music, and got me into the older bands of the genre.
