I think the green Jackson will make a return to some extent. The black Lado is the star of the show sound-wise so far. If I was H, I'd go black Lado for first 4 songs, Powerslve, Rime and Aces Mid-Height, Jackson for SSOASS, Trooper, Hallowed and WY.
Adrian hasn't played the Phantom solo once since the reunion. Always Jan.
Phantom was Simon's brainfart. Went to the last verse groove too early. Solos were fine. Could have been also a misunderstanding. Janick, Steve and Adrian were all at Simon before the trainwreck happened. Somebody might...
Yup. This is the gig that prompted them no never drink again before going on stage.
I think this might also be the gig where they brought out the table during Rime's middle part and Davey and H had some glasses of wine with the crew.
Nicko is the jazziest/funkiest of all drumers in hard rock/heavy metal bands. And this is the department where Maiden lost the most with his retirement.
And another where they are flying towards Slovenian Izola 2000 gig (somewhere over Czech Republic) and they learn that there is Portorož Airport nearby the gig and they don't need to land at Ljubljana Airport (which isn't in Ljubljana actually). Afterwards, Nicko says that it's lovely that they...
I think the closest Dave was to bringing his old guitars was in 2013, when he almost brought out th '64 from Live After Death. But in the end he opted for Hot Rails.
In the middle of the winter? Well, there is about 65% less chance of rain and at least 5-10 degrees warmer.
Also, basically noone from the band spends winters in UK (noone except Janick, H was forced to this year, since the LA fires took his other house down). Imagine the shock by Dave flying...
Then my money is on preliminary rehearsal with Simon or a business meeting (possibly about re-structuring Iron Maiden Touring LLP, with Nicko's retirement) and whole board needed to be present (6 members plus the director of Iron Maiden LLP).
