RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

Yeah, that's why I said about practical effects (i.e. cage & video during hallowed). But without that I would say that both bands were very close in terms of production.
I don't have anything against that but after claims that this will be the best production ever I must say - Legacy of the Beast and Future Past Tour was lightyears ahead of what we've got this year.

LOTB is unique and spectacular Maiden, but RFYL is definitely more impressive than TFP imo. Ofc both are cool in their own ideas. A logical next step from the band. The next one is screens plus (bigger) props, more side screens and that's it. Or more than 1 screen art for a song, moving or not. That would be really cool. Can't be compared to Priest. With Manowar, yes. Let's see how they develop, it's more curious than before, the possibilities are more. Bruce's solo too. Album tour with main decor screens would be really curious because they always have one main decor. Senjutsu would have been with: battlefield, mountains, grassland, time machine, desert, etc.

Sigh. Why oh why didn't they release a full concert video, even on Youtube?

Good question. Let's hope they eventually do it, from other tours too.

Although I loved the visuals, the setlist is still the reason I consider it to be their best tour. For me, no Maiden show has come close to the atmosphere and flow of the LOTB tour.

The setlist (all eras), atmosphere (especially!) and flow were awesome. The best? Really difficult to say, I liked TFP, DOD and TBOS ones, for example. Not to mention BNW, ofc. LOTB was top in all aspects.

The run of Revelations, FTGGOG, The Wicker Man, SOTC and FOI is the best 5 song run from any tour they have done.

One of the very best for sure. The start of TFP tour, first 7 songs were great for me. Or Dance-Rainmaker-Brave New World-Paschendale-Flies.

It's probably the best one ever.
Honorable mentions:
Give me Ed till I'm dead: Trooper, Die With Your Boots On, Revelations, Hallowed , Acacia
Somewhere Back In Time : Children of the Damned, Phantom, Trooper, Wasted Years, Rime, Powerslave ( 6 songs actually)
Not as good as Legacy imo, the visuals of Legacy alone win this one.

Powerslave - 2 Minutes to Midnight - Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Run to the Hills - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Strike out Rime and RTTH, then maybe. Like this there are massive pacing issues and I would prefer a ton of other songs to replace those two.

Strike out the centre piece of the show and the title song of the tour, no way .Drop SSOASS and replace it with Flash of the Blade :lol:

I wasn't talking in terms of this particular tour, but in the general discussion about "great runs of songs" ;)

I'm not the biggest fan of Rime and am sick of RTTH. I'd be more than happy to never see any of those in a theoretical future setlist again.

Rime into Hills was one of the highlights of the entire show.

Didn't do anything for me. I was glad when both were over and SSOASS finally started.

Fair enough, i presumed you meant this tour which was still a great run in my book.

No chance i`m sick of Rime, i did feel similar to you about RTTH but it was great on both shows i saw , Madrid was a different level of crowd fun.

Total opposite for me, SSOASS was the only one that dragged a bit for me, crowd noise and energy dropped .Bruce`s long held note was a highlight though.

Bruce: ''The vibe within the band is immense now, just as a side note''.

''And it's not the same show every night. With MAIDEN, it is. I mean, sure, there are variations in the way that this song is better one night than it was last night and things like that''.

I dont think that. The setlist is the same but not same show
 
That’s a gross exaggeration. Bruce might say a few words different in an intro, Gers might mangle a solo slightly differently, Adrian might do an angry look at the drummer, the rest is the same night by night. They don’t change up the solos or the set or the encore night by night, Steve can’t handle changes. I used to see back to back shows of Maiden tours but there was no point.

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.
