Is it just me or should the drummer have toned down his stage theatrics to keep the focus on Ozzy? I mean it might be the way he usually plays but was it really necessary for Ozzy's final bow?
 
Blazes voice on "As Live as it Gets" always blows me away.
He's not quite in his vocal prime anymore, still good, but his voice from 2000-2010 was fucking tremendous.
It's great to have live albums from Blaze's vocal prime (2003-2008), right after Maiden. And they all sound really good with great performances from all. There are about 6 or 7 different Maiden songs in total from his albums (iirc) in the 3 live albums up until 2010 (no Clansman!?), I would have liked even more to show what was missing with Maiden live, with his best solo stuff.

The thing about Blaze's voice - is that it fits the traditional metal like Maiden, more of a rock style, his current almost ''power metal'' approach and the darker and heavier style from his first 5 solo albums (very underrated material imo, especially the latter two). It's so cool. I don't think there are many vocalists I can say that about.

Blazes voice is still great but I did notice seeing him live last year that he has finally lost a step
