I think you're right about the set list. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, "Argus" is one of my favourite albums of all-time, and it would have been great to hear it from start to finish. On the other hand, looking at setlist.fm, the first six songs from those shows are underwhelming...

Of the six songs I can (more or less) play, from the bass guitar's perspective: "Death of the Celts" - easily the toughest. Part of the challenge is physically changing instruments mid-song (acoustic to electric), and there's a lot of tricky riffs throughout. The bass is the lead instrument for...

Has anyone seen Wishbone Ash on their current tour? I'm thinking of making the 2 hr drive to Buffalo to see them in March. It looks like they're still playing "Argus" in its entirety.

I'm fairly sure it's an acoustic bass for the intro of Hell on Earth, but definitely not on The Parchment (just strumming power chords).

Here's the final post on this topic (I promise). Songs (weighted by number of times played) by musician on the original studio recording: Bass - Harris (100%) Vocals - Dickinson (81%), Di'Anno (15%), Bayley (5%) Drums - McBrain (69%), Burr (31%) Guitars - Murray (100%), Smith (78%), Gers (38%)...

Another way of looking at it by album: Album Played Total Percentage Notes Iron Maiden 7 9 78% Everything except "Transylvania" and "Strange World" Killers 5 11 45% Only "Wrathchild", "Murders in the Rue Morgue", "Another Life", "Killers" and "Drifter" The Number of the Beast 6...

Here's a list showing the number of times a song has been played from each album: The Number of the Beast 2,277 Iron Maiden 1,511 Piece of Mind 1,446 Powerslave 1,240 Brave New World 1,181 Seventh Son of a Seventh Son 1,127 Fear of the Dark 901 The Books of Souls 702 A Matter...

Underneath the "spoiler" tag is a complete list of the 82 songs the band has played live during the reunion era: For the most part, there are few surprises. "Iron Maiden" has been played during literally every show. "The Number of the Beast", "The Trooper", and "Fear of the Dark" have all...

I was curious about which songs the band has played live during the "reunion" era (1999 to 2022). I got the data from setlist.fm. I made a few small changes for obvious errors (for example, that site is showing that "Wildest Dreams" was played 90 times in 2003, but every other song was played 89...

It would be great to hear the isolated bass from "To Tame A Land" (which is, in my opinion, Harris's most challenging & interesting performance). Thanks in advance if that's possible.

Great, thanks very much.

Has anyone been able to find the link for the Ljubljana show? I'm thinking about getting up at 4AM (Toronto time) to buy tickets.

Here's what I think would happen: Harris - when he's done, the band is done (obviously) Dickinson - I don't think that Dickinson and Maiden are synonymous, and I like the four albums with Di'Anno and Bayley. But at this point, I can't imagine how the band would continue without him McBrain - I...

Tomorrow night is the final show of the Legacy of the Beast tour. Obviously we don't know all of the band's future plans, but I wonder how many of these songs will never again be played live? I'd imagine that tomorrow would be the last time they play "Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman". I...

Empire of the Clouds

Enjoy the show. "Argus" is one of the greatest albums of all-time. Wishbone Ash's first five albums were great, but this was their peak. And (as I'm sure you know) it had a huge influence on the development of Iron Maiden's sound. I'm hoping they bring the tour to Ontario (Canada) at some point.

Man on the Edge

I was at the Hamilton show last night. It was a great concert (how could it not be?), but I enjoyed the Toronto show a lot more. That's probably due to my tickets (I was at the barrier on Tuesday, and had a seat yesterday - and although it was a really good seat, it just wasn't the same...

Just got home from the Toronto show. It was my 7th time seeing the band, and perhaps my best concert experience so far. I won first to the barrier (but was towards the back of that group). I ended up getting 2nd row, to the right of centre. Janick was there 90% of the time, and Harris was there...
