The Maiden England (2012/13) setlist was good. The strange part was they played two songs that hadn't been written until a few years after the original tour - Fear of the Dark (a fan favourite) and Afraid to Shoot Strangers (a great song, and it hadn't been played live since 1998). I would have...

I just pre-ordered the vinyl. I should have bought the re-issue in 2015. I check periodically on ebay and the price (for the 2015 edition) is usually several hundred Canadian dollars. Hopefully he brings the tour to Canada at some point.

Americans are our blood brothers. Our armed forces have fought together, and died together, for more than a century. We have a deeply integrated economy, and shared cultural values. Both countries have benefitted from the military and economic alliance. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, a...

Agreed. I've never seen Canadians united about anything in my life.

Here's my take: They'll play 16 songs. (They've ranged from 15 to 17 over the past decade. They're getting older, which suggests fewer. But songs from this era are shorter, which suggests more. Split the difference and call it 16). We'll hear eight out of ten "greatest hits" from the era. (Iron...

There's a lot of overlap between my list and yours (removing Shinedown and Ateyu), and my comments are pretty much the same. The one thing I'll say about The Raven Age - the power ballad "Grave of Fireflies" is pretty good. But I would have hoped for more than one solid song after seeing them...

I hope so too. He hasn't played in Canada (or the US) since May 2019.

It's been an incredible year for concerts. I saw 18 shows, which is a personal record. The highlights (roughly in order from best to worst): Iron Maiden - I saw them twice (and I've written about both shows previously). In Phoenix, I stood at the barrier, front and centre, directly in front of...

I saw them twice this year, and both shows ended around 10:55.

I was at the Toronto show on Saturday. It was disappointing that The Hu couldn't perform. I've heard contradictory explanations as to what happened. Are they the best opener Maiden has ever had? No - but they were probably the most unique and inspired choice over the past decade. I'm not sure if...

Obviously we're not entirely sure about the band's future plans. But which songs will the band never play again after this tour's over? There are four songs that will almost certainly never been played again - Caught Somewhere in Time, Days of Future Past, The Time Machine and Death of the...

Not sure if someone posted this before, but I was trying to figure out how many solos each of the three amigos got on this tour: Smith Caught Somewhere in Time (2nd solo) Stranger in a Strange Land The Writing on the Wall (2nd solo) Days of Future Past The Time Machine (1st solo) The Prison...

I'm skeptical about To Tame A Land. It's a very challenging song to play on bass - arguably the toughest in their entire catalogue. There are a few difficult songs that seem to be more likely (Phantom, Rime, perhaps Killers or Infinite Dreams). I'm not sure if Harris would want to devote so much...

I had the Iron Maiden experience of my life last night. I didn't win FTTB, but a stranger was kind enough to bring me as his +1. We were among the first 20 people to enter the venue. I was front and centre the entire show (almost directly in front of Dickinson). It was a joyous experience. I was...

There's two ways to look at it. The positive spin - the band has played (from BNW onwards) 8/10, 6/11, 10/10, 5/10, 7/11 and 7/10 songs live. That's 43 out of 62, or nearly 70%. That tells me that the band believes in their new music, and they want to give fans the chance to experience these...

Good catch - I corrected it.

I put this together when trying to answer the question - "how often has the band played reunion era songs, after the initial tour"? Brave New World 2000: five songs were played during all 77 shows (The Wicker Man, Brave New World, Ghost of the Navigator, Blood Brothers, Dream of Mirrors). The...

Definitely frustrated. There was no FC presale, and there wasn't even an email notification that a 2nd date was added. By the time I heard about it, all the available GA's were gone. I'll try my luck with the general sale tomorrow.

A few points to consider: 1. Based on the wording, it sounds like Budapest will be the first show. There's a fairly long gap between the first and second concerts. I wonder if a second show will be added in between. (Is a 2nd night in Budapest possible, or probably more likely, an additional...
