European festival dates a year after an extensive European tour doesn't make sense. America is most likely.

This is the happiest I have seen the band on the stage in a while.
Best Bruce show of the tour. Hallowed was amazing and Aces surpassed passable and was okay.
Black Lado is back. On Rime and everything beyond it that was Lado. Sounds great and cuts through mix more than The Silver Lady. The Hooligan is gone and 2MTM was played on the 2016 Jackson.
Adrian made the "MC" gesture during the fast vocal parts of Hallowed and I almost pissed myself.
More tomorrow.

What's the MC gesture

Hard to explain, but basically when somebody is rapping a hand movement that I think it means "preach". If there is a good video, I will timestamp it

Just got back from the show. The boys have still got it. Retirement certainly doesn’t seem on the horizon for these guys.

Interest how often H chops and changes his guitars - wonder if the Hooligan will be back for another show - usually I think 'artwork' guitars are cheesy but I like the Hooligan one - although it was odd that he used it on TFP tour.
Something nobody really ever mentions is the Ibanez Roadstar H used on Powerslave almost entirely, it was a single humbucker just like the Hooligan.. Wonder if H still has it around? I knowe he didn't like it for live back then, but maybe like with the Lados, a few mods could bring it back..

Powerslave is the Roadstar entirely. But as you said H didn't like it for live use, likely due to tuning issues.

If Bruce was hinting a new studio album...: When could that have been recorded? If a new album, I guess it's with Simon on drums (I hope!), not Nicko. So, let's assume their plan of the drummer exchange was well wrapped perhaps by later summer last year (I don't believe it was any earlier) to be announced December 7 2024, there's not so many possible time frames left when an album could have been recorded. Were they spotted anywere as a band together in one place since then? If I'm not mistaken, there was some Paris mentioning, but I'm not sure really.
I don't believe if a new album was to be released it has Nicko on drums.

Bruce loves to tease as we know, so we have to keep that in mind, but it can't about the dates for the 2nd leg - he covered it with the first spoiler alert joke. It's either about an upcoming live release from the tour (London was during the day, so I doubt it), or more likely about a new album. After all, recording it in early/after the tour next year or in 2027 is normal (habits). I really hope and doubt it's about the book and the documentary... such a hint and secret game could only be about a new album, but let's see. Also, he pauses for a smile, there's that.Bruce shares a few words. Looks like pro shot footage of London which leads me to think that a live video is happening. Also talk of things to come. More tour dates I assume? Or an album?

Him teasing a potential 3rd leg already? Naah. I don't think this tour needs a 3rd leg, 2 years are enough, but if they add more 90's songs and like more than 3 changes is another question... it could be more interesting.
Good point, but now a new album is more likely because of their habits.
Sad, but maybe they decided to record with Simon. We know Nicko, but I doubt he'll spoil the secret.
Agreed, but a few European dates for next year are 50/50, especially if there is no 3rd leg.
I really like the 2MTM guitar. The black Lado sounds amazing.
So great to hear.

Yesterday was our 15th wedding anniversary for my wife and I. We managed to get Maiden playing for us and our son, in our hometown, with 50000+ lucky guests. What a night it was.

From a new interview with Nicko - discussing whether he would play with the band if they play in Florida:
"Yeah, if they come here, I might end up doing a show with them, you know, just going and playing a song or two. Or just being there''.
"Yeah, if they come here, I might end up doing a show with them, you know, just going and playing a song or two. Or just being there''.
I didn't say that. I said that he teased next year's leg and that Maiden's recent touring history leads me to believe there will be another leg after that.

If they do a 3rd leg they need to change the setlist a bit. Maybe 3 or 4 songs and with the screens they can do it.
As I said before, they likely will, but it's going to be something like SSOASS swapped for Revelations or opening with Aces High. Nothing exciting.

I find Nickos setlist to be slightly better than Maiden’s
