*No LOTB spoilers until the end of the tour*

Well, we all know that things go wrong sometimes on stage. So this is the topic, where we try to merge the videos of them (if they exist).

So lets start with these ones:

Adrian Falls, Brave New World, Vancouver 2010

Steve Falls, Speed Of Light, Fortaleza 2016

Bruce Falls, Wrathchild, Donnington 2007

Eddie Falls, The Book Of Souls, Cordoba 2016

Bruce Falls, Fear Of The Dark, Birmingham 2013

Bruce Falls, The Wicker Man, Pori 2010

Bruce Forgets His Microphone, The Trooper, Tokyo 2016

Bruce Forgets BNW Lyrics, Helsinki 2003

Nicko and Adrian starting wrong songs (Wrathchild, POTO, Trooper, WY, Bruce says goodnight after Hallowed), Belgrade 2009

That for beginning of this topic. Can you please help me find a video where Jan's guitar goes out of tune during Hallowed and he leaves it in the middle of the stage to get another one. Bruce gets it and tries to throw it to Jan's tech, but he is stood on the cable and the guitar crashes down. Janick is very upset with Bruce at that point. It was during either Ed Hunter Tour or DOD tour.

Yeah, but those are exclusively pre-2005 (Quite old videos). Still, no Bruce throwing Jan's guitar.
 
Looking through some footage, I think that Bruce throwing Jan's guitar was during one of the EH European shows, but so far, I just only found Bercy, Essen, Athens, Milan and Hamburg videos. It was during none of them.

If I remember correctly, that happened at I gig I attended: the Ed Hunter tour show in Leganes (Spain) in 1999.
 
I don't have a clip, but the power (electricity) went out during Powerslave at Madison Square Garden (New York) in 2008.

Great fun, but it does not beat the 30 minutes of onstage entertainment without sound we were treated to at the first London gig on the AMOLAD tour (22nd December 2006). We had football onstage, Adrian juggling oranges, Bruce directing the Earls Court choir singing songs... :lol: Sadly the quality of the clip is not too good.

 
This moment needed to be immortalised in a gif, in case if anyone deletes that video again...
