It’s a shame to hear that you don’t like coming here as much anymore. I can be critical of the band. It’s because I hold them to high standards and sometimes I think they make some head scratching decisions. However it does not stop me from enjoying their gigs and rocking out!

Great review. I agree with everything except for Aces High. But disagreements are part of being a fan!

I woke up early, it’s too hot so I am sharing my thoughts. Pros I thought the band were on fine form. There were a few fluffs and technical glitches, but they recovered well. The setlist is mostly excellent. It has a nice flow. The song of the night was Powerslave. It was so heavy! My other...

On the train home. Great gig. Some grumbles but the band were on excellent form. I will post some more thoughts tomorrow.

I’m on the train down. I’m wearing my Earls Court ‘06 shirt. I’m surprised I still fit into it! I doubt there will be many more chances to do this. COYI!

Game knows game.

It’s a bugger to get to. At least Stratford has a good ‘international’ station, the tube and CrossRail.

I have no idea what they were thinking for the AMOTB tour. It was just the usual classics plus COTD and 5 AMOLAD songs. Although the band were on fine form, the setlist was turd.

I’m so glad I stopped caring about Maiden t shirts about 12 years ago. I walked into the O2 for the Maiden England Tour, looked at the prices, turned to my girlfriend (now wife) and said ‘Fuck that’. Since then I have proudly worn either my Coming Home or Earls Court 2006 shirt at every Maiden gig.

Meet up for a pint beforehand?

I have been thinking about this recently. Are there any Maiden or Maiden-related physical media products you would like to see released or re-released? Of course you can come up with your own desired product! Here’s mine Maiden England on black vinyl. The picture disc has too much noise! They...

I’m up for that! I bought two standing tickets this morning with O2 Priority.

I’m going to get tickets as well!

He still has great technique and a fantastic voice. But he doesn’t have the range anymore. I don’t have a problem with him changing a melody to make it easier on him or for adding interest to a boring melody. There are some great examples of this e.g. No More Lies on Death on the Road...

Robert Plant was 59 years old in 2007. I remember when I first heard Good Times Bad Times from the O2 Reunion gig, I thought ‘Wow they have really down tuned for his voice!’ Of course you they had to. The range of a voice is like a bell curve: You start with fairly limited range, grows over time...

Looks like Rod got to it. I take it I didn’t miss much!

This is book #20 for me so far this year. I need some inspiration to get back in shape.

That puts my rig on my last gig to shame. I just rocked up with a DI box and a tuner (and my bass of course!)

I was at Downlod in 2022. Maiden were great although the opening 3 songs went down like a led balloon. I am glad to have seen Senjutsu and Stratego on that tour, but they should have done the original Legacy set. If they had done Download in 2020 with the original set, it would have gone down as...
