Very jealous! Big gigs are now out of my price range. I saw them at Reading Festival 2008 and they were amazing.

Listening to the whole album, but this song is always a standout. An absolute masterpiece.

I suppose he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He obviously wanted to create a band identity, but needed a name that drew attention to his previous fame with Maiden. It must have been hard for his band members at the time. Being in a band but always feeling like being a backing musician.

Thank you! It was a good starting point for a chat I had with him once :)

I agree. I came to the album late. I had been a fan since around 1998 and only heard the abridge live performance of Running Free from my well-worn Best of the Beast CD. I got the album around 2008. I thought I should be clued up for the SBIT tour. After all, it’s had just got the DVD. I was a...

Perfect opportunity for BYDTTS. Wasted. Only disappointing moment so far for me.

Powerslave is always welcome.

First Maiden song I ever saw live. I can’t wait to hear it again!

Daughter not in bed. She’s too wide awake after a long journey. I have no shame in putting Pepp Pig so that I can enjoy the reveal of the opening songs!

Shouldn’t bring so much gear!

Let’s go Maidenfans!

One hour to go. Fire it up!

Let us all raise our glasses to Simon the night. I hope you smash it (pun intended!)

They have used designs based on songs that were not played for tour shirts in the past.

Thanks for the photos. The Powerslave one in the first photo is interesting. The back design looks quite nautical.
