To me Maiden have 4 periods. Since the classic era was from 82-88 and for some 82-92, I would add two albums from that period
so:
Iron Maiden : Steve has used the Opera riff for almost 40 years now and in most of his songs
Powerslave; High energy Maiden at its' best
Seventh Son: Best...
Janick hasn't been enjoyable for me to watch and listen to (live) since the FOTD tour. His style kind of matched NPFTD and his live performances then were quite accurate. To be honest I never cared for the accuracy but his live improvisations are dreadful for the most part (H changes his solos...
I would prefer - at this stage in their career, if they did one best of tour and then a "new material' one.
One might say that this is what they are doing....but I do not think this is completely true. I dont see why we need to have the same songs closing the set. NOTB, RTTH,IM, The trooper and...

I sped up WOTW and Stratego to bring them close to their live lenghts. This is why a good prodicer/ sound engineer is needed. Martin could not have his way with the arrangements but he could get great performances and grooves out of the band.
They also played IESF quite differently live. It is strange indeed...I mean with the 3 guitars and all one would expect them to play more and not less. But are we sure Jan isn't just inaudible in this clip?
It is not that he is straining JUST during this song. Stratego also sounded strained and most of the songs in that register. Halford had a much broader range and JP downtuned ages ago. Anyway, as I said before they are Maiden and would do everything their way.....as long as people pay to see them!
