Nicko was an absolute monster in LOTB 1 as well, especially 2018. 2022 is where he started to drop off a little bit.

To be honest, I liked Simon and thought he did a great job for his first show. I really appreciate that he’s bringing his own style to the songs rather than just replicating Clive’s or Nicko’s parts. That said, Nicko’s drum kit always felt like a part of Maiden’s stage show. Take the Revelations...

While you're not exactly wrong, I think having it as the opener offsets that to some extent. Sure, the performance wasn’t flawless like the studio version, but imo it was pretty solid, especially in 2008 and 2018 (1999 a bit behind, mostly because it was played too fast). The chaos and energy it...

I love Aces, it's probably my favorite out of the ones you mentioned. I'd be fine with it as the opener, even if it's a bit overplayed. That said, as an encore opener, it not only makes things a lot tougher for Bruce, but it also loses some of its bombastic impact.

If it wasn't for Aces it could be the most balanced 80s history tour by far. Not even touching No Prayer, let's say they swap Aces with Still Life or DWYBO, you would have: at least 2 songs from each 80s album except SIT, 5 songs from Paul's albums, epics from all 80s 'eras', deep cuts, etc. It...

Same.

Overall, I think it was a very good setlist, but Maiden have consistently delivered strong ones since Bruce’s cancer recovery. TBOS tour was more adventurous than a typical album tour, and both LOTB 2018/19 and TFP were incredible. So despite Bruce’s hype, this one doesn’t feel that unique. That...

Or even Tailgunner, they could even recycle the screen animation lol

FOTD would be there, that was never in doubt. I REALLY hoped that they had retired Aces High, absolutely no point in bringing it back again.

I dig Wasted Years as the last song, especially considering it's a 50-year anniversary tour. A No Prayer song instead of Aces would have been perfect, but it's still amazing. Simon did a great job despite the small kit.

It should have been BYDTTS or even Tailgunner. That would make a perfect setlist (with Fear and then WY).

I LOVE Aces High and am sad that I never got to see it as a show opener, it's probably my favorite one from Maiden. However, that ain't it... At least is a bit faster than 2022 but Bruce is clearly struggling.

It's just too hard for Bruce on the encore...

Aces

Supposed encore is Aces, Fear and WY.

Please no Aces, please no Aces...

17, I guess. Iron Maiden next and then the encore.

Bruce is singing AMAZINGLY well.

The jacket is back! First time since 2017, time flies.

On my last draft of setlist (that I didn't post here bc it was with info we got recently), I got all 11 until now right and would be missing Fear, IM, Boots, Hallowed and Trooper.
