Adrian Frederick Smith's guitar solo in The Prisoner.

A terrific song and could have been best song on the album except for the solos. Both solos are underwhelming for me, adding zero to the song and a little too bluesy for Maiden. fantastic song otherwise 8

These Colours Don't Run would have been a great follow up single to TROBB. Two "non-rocker" singles would have well suited the mood of A Matter Of Life And Death. A couple of reasons lead me to suspect that Maiden actually considered releasing it as a single: - it's placement as second song on...

I'm still listening to the album most days and am getting a strong urge to write a 9 month anniversary review very soon. On the laptop tonight I was procrastinating and messing around with the album art and came up with this cover and back...

I'm back bigger, better and more metal than ever!! \m/

The pinch harmonics at the beginning of Adrian's Caught Somewhere In Time solo send my mind into orbit every time I hear it. This solo is the greatest piece of music created since neanderthals first banged wooden clubs against rocks.

Now that's a great idea!

Disagreeing. I've posted thoughts before...after waiting and waiting for this album to be released I was really dismayed after purchasing and spinning it (or pressing the play button on the CD player to be exact) as the entire album felt underwhelming. The Apparition was one of only two...

Good man! We're all in this tour together, that was my little contribution. The Europeans have been quiet for many months now...looking forward to them joining this thread over the coming weeks

The boys were in great form and they were really enjoying themselves. Adrian and Bruce were smiling as much as Dave...which I thought was impossible! Get yourself as close as possible to the stage, Dave's side

Not sure if this fan film of the complete show in Sydney has been posted yet...but it rocks! It's multi-cameras including someone who filmed from centre-stage on the barrier. I was at this gig three rows back from Dave so excuse any sentimentality here but I'd be happy if this footage was...

<--- Fabulous view of the solos in this clip from Adelaide...

For the sake of this survey can we consider NPFTD and Fear Of The Dark as part of the classic era? Or are they Post modern classical era? Precambrian reunion era? Or the H of Darkness?

Yes indeed. Even if Dave's wristband was black-plague infested I'd wear it with terminal pride.

A couple of pics from the Melbourne show.... Cannot believe my hand is so wrinkly! A busker outside the stadium. Two days after the show and I have the flu...

He wasn't 100% healthy tonight in Melbourne. He told the crowd he could have quite easily stayed in bed but the crowd had energised him like he had put his fingers into a power socket. He didn't aim for all the high notes in The Book Of Souls, but all up he put in a great performance considering...

Or he was talking to himself?

I could be wrong but it looked to me like Adrian yawned during Blood Brothers. It was very small...not like one of those satisfying yawns when you open up wide for about 5 seconds, make a yawning sound and stretch your arms out above your head.

Maybe it was past his bedtime.
