Went to see The Who on Friday night in Derby. A mate managed to get tickets for £7.50 each the night before, so obviously I couldn't turn that down.
You know what I was pleasantly surprised. They played the songs I knew, the orchestra complimented the songs well, Roger and Pete sounded...
I don't get why they just don't get Dan Mumford to do all the T-Shirt designs. His designs are far superior than who they have designing the event shirts.
After revisiting Senjutsu, I wonder if on the inevitable second leg they could swap out some tracks in favour of the three currently unplayed tracks so eventually all tracks will have had a live outing like they originally intended. Something like this?
1. Caught Somewhere in Time
2. Stranger...
Iron Maiden - Death of the Celts
Hearing this song live has really changed my opinion of it. I'm looking forward to the eventual live album, it really came alive in the shows I saw. Makes me wonder how the remaining unplayed songs from Senjutsu would sound live. If they can convert me into...
There were a few mistakes last night I noticed.

Just got back from a weekend in Dublin. I just want to say what an absolute show. This band should not be as good as they are, at their age. It's easy to sit here, scouring through YouTube videos analysing all the mistakes. But just being there is completely different.
The crowd in Dublin were...
Twickets is legit, they're officially partnered with a lot of ticket vendors like The Ticket Factory. I've used them a few times, without issue. So I'm sure you'll be fine.

I feel like Maiden just aren't a good fit for festivals. The only crowd I've seen who were really into them was at Sonisphere 2014. When I've seen them at Download, the response has been quite muted. Videos that I've seen from other festivals they've headlined is pretty much the same.
I have to say, I was worried after some of last year's performances from Bruce. But this year he's been probably the star of the tour, I'm blown away. Makes me more excited for his solo album honestly.
Just a random thought. I wonder if Nicko was the reason why Where Eagles Dare and The Wicker Man were dropped from the set last year. I know they had to fit in the three Senjutsu songs, but I would have thought at least The Wicker Man would have stayed.
But considering him simplifying drum...
With how Nicko is performing on this tour, it'd be quite a good call for the band to introduce more Blaze era songs into the setlist. Most of the songs on those albums aren't very taxing.
