Absolutely. Naturally, I expected Rime of the Ancient Mariner to be one of the highlits of the night, but WHAT A JAW-DROPPING PERFORMANCE THEY GAVE! Powerslave was also magnificent! Killers, The Clairvoyant, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Wasted Years... I loved it! I'm so happy that I...

Rime was mind-blowingly amazing performance. I happened to stand right beside a former colleague of mine and as we chatted after the show, he said that Rime of the Ancient Mariner was probably the best live performance he has ever seen, haha. And I mean... It really was something else! Bruce...

On a bus, moving towards Helsinki! I came from the night shift in the morning and haven't slept a whole lot, so I probably catch a hour or two of sleep in a hostel bed and then I'm all set for my 10th Maiden show! As I couldn't make it to London in 2017, I'm glad for another chance to witness...

Not for this year, but there is a possibility that they'll play some more shows in Europe next year. :)

Some of them were more than just a bit off, Seventh Son for example, but I think Virtual XI had kind of cool & rather natural sequence!

Apparently the rows of the All Time Scoreboard don't align too well on the mobile view. Sorry about that!

Murders in the Rue Morgue wasn't exactly on the top of my wishlist for this tour, although I was quite sure that it'll be the opener, and that's fine, I like the song... but damn, I really like how it rolls here! Bruce has a bit.... crunchier approach to it now when compared to e.g 2005 and I...

THE SETLIST CONTEST - ALL-TIME SCOREBOARD Legacy of the Beast - Future Past - Run for Your Lives Current all time leaders @mepatrik1 & @Poto have scored solid points in all three competitions with identical run of 16+18+16. @Ben Beast isn't far behind with 47 points and @PieceofMind89...

I agree! The inclusion of the football game is a bit meh and I admit that the whole "Virtual reality consuming you!" idea screams late 90's/early 00's, but I mean... the apocalyptic vision and the grotesque Eddie itself looks really nice! The colour scheme of the cover is also quite nice and...

I don't think so. If I remember correctly, both parties (Bruce & Steve) have cited the story that Powerslave was a result of two separate song ideas that Steve suggested combining into one piece and Steve probably helped to "patch" the transitions and such together and his style and bass...

I really like Wasted Years as a closer. Looking forward to seeing this set in about a week!

Yeah, there's probably something else to it as well, something between Bruce & Roy on a personal level. Then again, even after the tour line-up changed, Bruce still talked about the back catalogue remix collaboration with him and all that, so there's probably a lot of stuff going on...

Absolutely! Added the following to the leaderboard post as well. Most commonly chosen songs that didn't end up in the setlist: *52 setlist entries in total* Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter 37/52 Infinite Dreams - 30/52 Running Free 28/52 Be Quick or be Dead 27/52 The Evil That Men Do...

I don't know what started it, but I've heard some reports that when The (original) Mandrake Project tour band got together for some rehearsing, there were... raised voices and whatnot. My guess is - again, just a guess - that perhaps Roy wasn't exactly in the shape for playing with the rest of...

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES - RESULTS! A huge, heartfelt thanks to all who participated by submitting their guesses and taking part in the setlist speculation in general! Congratulations to the winner(s) - yours is the glory! But remember, death or glory - it's all the same! USERSCORENOTES 1...

Nice to hear your experience & analysis on the recent show, @Acres High - and welcome, also! :) I hope Simon's drumming will grow on you and/or he'll keep improving! Regardless, having preferences on the drumming in Maiden and criticizing Simon is totally okay when done in such a good taste &...

I agree, but it's not like Aces High has to be either opener or encore opener only at this point. They've already played it as both and as a last song of the set, so I don't think having it somewhere in the middle would've been totally unthikable. Pacingwise its intro and all that doesn't fit...

RUUUN LIIVE TO FLY FLYY TOO LIVE... AND THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE!

Another option could've been moving Aces High to the main set, but they really seem to like it in the encore.. sigh. As for Wasted Years, I still kinda disagree. :p Running Free is fun, but I still take Wasted Years over it. Prowler would be cool, but I personally feel it more as "either way is...

Regarding The Rime of the Artificial Mariner: I agree with the hypocricy point cited above. However, I'd also point out that it's possible that they just hired a team to work on the screen show (possibly the speculated Legacy of the Beast company that referred moving on to a next Maiden project...
