The band shortened some of the repetitions in "Where Eagles Dare" when they've play it live. They did that on the Legacy of the Beast Tour, and I'm pretty sure they did this in the mid 2000's as well. (For what it's worth, I like that change). So it's rare for the band to cut out parts of the...

Definitely, my plan was to head to Piran on one of the days. It looks like Koper is a bit closer to Ljubljana, and a bit larger. Is there any reason to prefer one over the other?

Awesome! Thank you for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it (and I'll let you know how the climb goes). As an aside, I'm planning to spend almost a week in Slovenia. I knew hardly anything about the country before October. I can't wait for the concert, of course, but I'm also really...

The main thing I was trying to figure out is how long the hike takes. I've read online anywhere from 3 hours (up and back) to 8 hours. I was planning to start in the town (village?) of Zirovnica, since it looks easy to get there by public transit from Ljubljana. Then hike to Valvasorjev dom pod...

@matic22 and @Diplomat - can I ask for favour (as I think you're both from Ljubljana)? On May 29th (ie the day after the show), I'm planning to hike to the top of Mt. Stol. By any chance have you tried this before? I've been trying to get information about the route online but a lot of it's...

I think you're right about the set list. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, "Argus" is one of my favourite albums of all-time, and it would have been great to hear it from start to finish. On the other hand, looking at setlist.fm, the first six songs from those shows are underwhelming...

Of the six songs I can (more or less) play, from the bass guitar's perspective: "Death of the Celts" - easily the toughest. Part of the challenge is physically changing instruments mid-song (acoustic to electric), and there's a lot of tricky riffs throughout. The bass is the lead instrument for...

Has anyone seen Wishbone Ash on their current tour? I'm thinking of making the 2 hr drive to Buffalo to see them in March. It looks like they're still playing "Argus" in its entirety.

I'm fairly sure it's an acoustic bass for the intro of Hell on Earth, but definitely not on The Parchment (just strumming power chords).

Here's the final post on this topic (I promise). Songs (weighted by number of times played) by musician on the original studio recording: Bass - Harris (100%) Vocals - Dickinson (81%), Di'Anno (15%), Bayley (5%) Drums - McBrain (69%), Burr (31%) Guitars - Murray (100%), Smith (78%), Gers (38%)...

Another way of looking at it by album: Album Played Total Percentage Notes Iron Maiden 7 9 78% Everything except "Transylvania" and "Strange World" Killers 5 11 45% Only "Wrathchild", "Murders in the Rue Morgue", "Another Life", "Killers" and "Drifter" The Number of the Beast 6...

Here's a list showing the number of times a song has been played from each album: The Number of the Beast 2,277 Iron Maiden 1,511 Piece of Mind 1,446 Powerslave 1,240 Brave New World 1,181 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 1,127 Fear of the Dark 901 The Books of Souls 702 A Matter...

Here's a list showing the number of years each song has been played: 21x Iron Maiden 20x Fear of the Dark, The Number of the Beast 19x The Trooper 16x Hallowed Be Thy Name 15x 2 Minutes to Midnight, Run to the Hills 13x The Evil That Men Do, Wrathchild 9x Aces High 8x Blood...

Underneath the "spoiler" tag is a complete list of the 82 songs the band has played live during the reunion era: For the most part, there are few surprises. "Iron Maiden" has been played during literally every show. "The Number of the Beast", "The Trooper", and "Fear of the Dark" have all...

I was curious about which songs the band has played live during the "reunion" era (1999 to 2022). I got the data from setlist.fm. I made a few small changes for obvious errors (for example, that site is showing that "Wildest Dreams" was played 90 times in 2003, but every other song was played 89...

It would be great to hear the isolated bass from "To Tame A Land" (which is, in my opinion, Harris's most challenging & interesting performance). Thanks in advance if that's possible.

Great, thanks very much.

Has anyone been able to find the link for the Ljubljana show? I'm thinking about getting up at 4AM (Toronto time) to buy tickets.

Here's what I think would happen: Harris - when he's done, the band is done (obviously) Dickinson - I don't think that Dickinson and Maiden are synonymous, and I like the four albums with Di'Anno and Bayley. But at this point, I can't imagine how the band would continue without him McBrain - I...

Tomorrow night is the final show of the Legacy of the Beast tour. Obviously we don't know all of the band's future plans, but I wonder how many of these songs will never again be played live? I'd imagine that tomorrow would be the last time they play "Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman". I...
