    The Future Past tour 2023

    Best CSIT version by far. Nicko sounding much better too. (You have to follow Leana on IG to watch).

    This is the Death on the Road version.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Davey is imo the biggest positive "surprise" of this tour. Looking much fitter, playing album solos practically note by note and also got his tone really close to the SIT one as well. His solos on CSIT, Alex and Prisoner are sounding great. Made fewer mistakes than Adrian as well.

    Unplayed live songs and the future of Maiden: what's next?

    Indeed, you’re not wrong. In fact, I actually think they’ll do another hits tour after the future past, in a 50th anniversary tour. I just don’t see the first two albums being first in line for that. I can see a tour revolving around NOTB, if not playing in its entirety, at least 6 or 7 songs...

    Unplayed live songs and the future of Maiden: what's next?

    Yeah, I even thought about omitting SIT from there, I get your point, but SIT has been considered a cult classic for a while (and a top pick between many diehards) and the whole point of the tour is "bringing justice" to it after being overlooked since it was released. And yeah, it was mostly a...

    Unplayed live songs and the future of Maiden: what's next?

    I agree, but they aren't legendary to the point of the run of NOTB through 7th Son. And I love the debut myself as well, I just don't see them doing another tour revisiting them once again since the main bulk of their classics aren't in there and I can't see another addition to Iron Maiden and...

    Unplayed live songs and the future of Maiden: what's next?

    I wouldn't say that's too absurd, those 2 albums are neither from the Golden Era (so, not very famous) nor on top of most diehards lists. I can't see them doing a tour revisiting them again. And outside of those 2 you mentioned, they only played somewhat regularly Phantom (that I think is due...

    We're really discussing how much Bruce is running in a show. Might as well hire a scouting football website to get his heatmap during the concerts and compare his distance covered.

    Looking closely it seems Nicko actually almost goes for it but then don't. He might be just a little rusty or even ill, think in some time it'll be much better. Just got to find his groove.

    Do we have our first female Eddie on the liberty statue? :D

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Yeah, but that isn't the point lol. I would still be very excited to see Maiden touring without Nicko, I'm not against that. I'd just be much more excited to see them with Nicko, even if he isn't playing some damn fills, and the tempos are pretty good this tour too. However, if Nicko himself...

    Unplayed live songs and the future of Maiden: what's next?

    I can't see Maiden doing a tour playing an album in its entirety but I can see them doing a tour similar to this one, mixing a new album with an older one. And in that way the BNW approach could work perfectly for a tour in 2025, for example, its 25th anniversary. 5 or 6 songs from a new album...

    CSIT sounded great.

    Nicko is essential to the Maiden sound. Joe is very good but his funky and groovy style just can't be replicated that easily. Even if he's simplifying some parts, his creativity makes up for it. And like everyone else said, it's the 2nd damn show.

    Yeah, I'm not a drummer but wouldn't think this specfically would be demanding enough to be dropped.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    Felt the same during Wasted Years. And Nicko is at least very creative so even with the simplified drum lines you still get great performances. Their clock is definitely ticking at least for extensive touring, man will be 71 this year.
