Good question. I’m glad for the excitement around the tour and it was a delight to be in the London stadium crown.To me and everybody I talked to after the show to they seemed re-energised, renewed, totally on fire. Of course, everybody is entitled to their opinion and maybe you just have a different opinion, but I am just so surprised.
Are you sure it is not a reaction to something else? The line-up change? Or something else that happened?
Almost all the x50 shows I’ve seen have been the reunion era, so the highlights of the current show have already been the highlights of past tours (and I generally preferred how they were staged in past tours). I preferred Legacy 2018, for instance.
No Nicko is a factor, the screens are sometimes a factor.
But it’s also the 6th or 7th maiden tour I’ve seen now since 1999 with ‘80s nostalgia’ as the core of the set list, depending on how you cut it, so that’s maybe a factor too.
