Saw Maiden for the first time two days ago! I had already seen the setlist so no real surprises, though I had forgotten one song. Great crowd too. Not going to list any highlights, for a first timer pretty much everything is one.

Congratulations ! You will certainly be able to see them a couple times again before they retire.
 
What has everyone here who's attended a show thought about the sound quality?
I've seen a lot of complaints on numerous websites, most of which say that the guitar sounds are a bit low in the mix or indistinct.
 
This guy in Sweden filmed the entire show, for those interested. This is part one:


The sound is not great, but it's also cell phone footage.

The last 2 paragraphs were either badly mistranslated or the reviewer had no idea of what he was seeing.

The English wasn't top-notch, and evidently, the author doesn't know words such as "backdrop". But the only real error I can see is
the mention of Eddie as a "dead pirate"; obviously, the author doesn't know what a late 19th century US cavalry uniform looks like, or had no idea what the lyrics of Run to the Hills are about.
 
I went to the Zagreb, Croatia show yesterday and the horrible sound quality just ruined the show for me. From start to finish, the guitars were barely audible, they were just a muddy clusterfuck of noise, basically. To illustrate, I only realized they were playing 2MTM when the entire band joined in, the intro on the guitar was incomprehensible. I was standing roughly in the middle of the floor area. The show itself was spectacular, the two giant Eddies were awesome, but what's the point when I couldn't enjoy the band's performance.
 
I've decided not to watch Maiden play outdoors again as, apart from Sonisphere '10, the sound has been a pretty big issue.

Was the Zagreb show indoors though, Ranko? Won't be impressed if the sound is crap on Saturday after Donington being so poor...
 
Yes, the show was indoors. :/ I've been reading online comments about the Zagreb gig, about 75% of the people are complaining about the sound quality. I'm not going near that venue again. This was my 10th Maiden gig and I don't remember the sound being that dreadful, ever.

By the way, is Doug Hall still the front-of-house sound engineer or have they changed him?

I assume that would be because you didn't go to the Zagreb gig. :P
 
Funny reply, but in Forostar's defense, Brigantium did state (right after my first post) that the sound quality was an issue during several shows of this tour.
