As much as I like Wasted Years, I would have preferred H to play another of his Maiden songs instead.
It is somewhat funny that both You Can't Save Me and Wasted Years were also the non-Smith/Kotzen songs they played on the 2022 tour!
Ricky Warwick turned 18 the year Phil Lynott died. :P
I know what you meant though, as I saw (whatisleftof) Thin Lizzy live back in 2012. Cracking gig.

Funnily enough, they had that one on display at the British Music Experience exhibition at the O2 Arena back in 2011 before the Maiden gigs there.
The exhibition closed in 2014 and later relocated to Liverpool (https://www.britishmusicexperience.com/), where I got to see the SIT walk-on Eddie...
The setlist for the Run for Your Lives tour is great. I would have swapped some songs (Aces High being the most obvious one) for other classics that I prefer, but the set was filled with crowd pleasers.
Some T-shirts still available:

I remember some (rare) examples of support bands that got the Maiden audience going: Helloween in 1996 and 1998 (in the latter show they were arguably better than Maiden), Megadeth in 1999, and Gamma Ray in 2003.
I must admit that when I got the e-mail about this the other day I got excited and went to check the prices again to see if it would be doable. For 3 people with a car camping, the cost is £628.84, so I am afraid that I am still out.
As someone who goes camping with the family to proper...
I have seen The Darkness 3 times in Guildford at a 1700 capacity venue. Great live band, very entertaining, but definitely not big enough to be second on the bill.
So many harsh comments about Ralf Scheppers. A superb singer!
The YouTube algorithm has recommended me this, showing his chops:
It is also quite funny to see Kai Hansen without a mop on his head. :lol:
Here are my favourite guitar players of all time:
1. Michael Schenker
2. David Gilmour
3. James Dean Bradfield
4. Adrian Smith
5. Chuck Berry (the pioneer!)
I had to leave out of my list a good number of players I quite like (Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Francis Rossi, Brian May, Wolf...
