I thought so to. At this stage of the game if we can get that performance for the rest of the tour I'm cool with that.Thanks for sharing. Bruce sounded better on Aces High than on previous nights.

Endless Summer
Yay! Although I suspect he may still be in the denial phase, because, well, retirement sucks.
Or perhaps he simply enjoyed the joyride inside the Machine so much that he wants to take another spin alongside his fellow Machine Men.

Agreed.

I agree. It's passable. But I highly doubt that we will.

Newspaper (google translate) review:
"A year ago I last saw Iron Maiden. It was… so-so.
Afterwards I felt something like, "Damn, I love you guys, but isn't it time to go to sleep?"
At Sweden Rock, I was therefore prepared for a nice deathbed farewell."

So this guy was expecting Aces Low but got Aces Passable.
(and eh, he must have gotten a seated ticket last year, far back and forgot his binoculars. I saw both nights in Stockholm last year and I had a great time).

Så bra var Iron Maiden på Sweden Rock – betyg låt för låt
För ett år sen såg jag Iron Maiden sist. Det var … så där. Efteråt kände jag ungefär ”fan, jag älskar er, men är det inte dags att somna in?”. På Sweden Rock var jag därför beredd på ett fint farväl vid dödsbädden.

Just watched a few songs from Sweden Rock, all sounds pretty damn good, even Aces High sounds good. Reall am feeling quite tempted to go to Knebworth though, if it was in a stadium i would 100% go as my short ass would be guranteed a good view. £145 and the possibilityh of not seeing anything but screens puts me off.

What a weird review, and really odd rating of each song. Of course, I didn't attend Sweden Rock, but giving Wrathchild, Killers, Phantom and Infinite Dreams 2/5(!!!!) is baffling. The sequence Wrathchild->Phantom has been a highlight for me, the crowd has loved it and the band sounds so good on those songs.Newspaper (google translate) review:

At the end of the day, it is just someone's opinion, which is not more valid than yours or mine.

Very true, but I am surprised opinions can differ so much. Aces High better than those songs?At the end of the day, it is just someone's opinion, which is not more valid than yours or mine.
But these swedish reviews are always odd in my opinion. I often get the feeling they didn’t attend the show, but still review it. Stockholm 2018 is another one. The reviewer gave Sign of the Cross 5/5, and that’s the version where Nicko's bass drum pedal fell apart midways.
Så bra var Iron Maidens spelning i Stockholm – betyg låt för låt
KONSERT Ikoniska Iron Maiden trollbinder ett fullsatt Tele2 arena med en visuellt maffig show, omväxlande låtlista och energi bortom denna värld.
9. Sign of the cross
Quite sad as a studio version, in my opinion, but a real treat as a live song. One of the highlights of the evening, for sure. Steve Harris and Nicko McBrain's phenomenal rhythm work leaves me almost speechless, which is an achievement in itself.

The start of the show was great for me. Too much energy there. We all complain about wrathchild being on the setlist until they reach the chorus and you scream it like always. Mariner,id and seventh son were great too
