Sold out shows don't appear as sold out on Maiden website! Probably because sometimes extra tickets will be released when getting closer to the gig. For example Tallin. It sold out around christmas, but they added some tickets here and there in the weeks before the show.

According to the boxscore results published so far, out of 149933 tickets available, only 1480 went unsold. That's a little less than 1% unsold...
 
I always wondered why Maiden did not recorded the Guitar Solo ''Walking On Glass'' as a B-side or as a bonus song to the SIT album.

I think they played Guitar Solo live 'till the SOT '86 and Drum Solo 'till the WPT '83 ! But they were very short as a duration - 1 or 3 minutes long, on the other hand, the ''Walking On Glass'' solo was 5 minutes long - a full instrumental song.... I like very much Dave's Guitar Solo during the Powerslave tour (why Adrian did not do one).
I would like to see Steve do a Bass Solo (Running Free live version does not count :D )

I don't like medleys, but Guitar & Drum Solos (like Kiss do them) I like a lot ! the Drum Solo by Eric Carr was fantastic :)

I miss the time when Maiden released cool stuff as a B-sides to their singles with amazing artworks (the singles B-sides were cool 'till the BNW album)

You can hear Steve do it on "Blood on the World's Hands" and on their cover of The Who's "My Generation". ;)

Yeah the first song that I have thought was Blood On The World's Hands, but I mean Bass Solo live... ;) Some bands even does a Keyboard Solo !

I think Dave's style of playing lends itself to a solo like that better than Adrian's. Dave's style is more improvised and "shreddy", whereas H seems to have more of a "less is more" approach and he tends to work out his solos beforehand.

Or drum solos. Can't think of anything less exciting...

Yup! If I'm not mistaken, there were some techical issues with guitars or something, so they needed to make up some entertainment for the wait. If I remember correctly, there's another video with Bruce telling something like "...something we'll do only in the extreme circumstances. I have to do a drum solo!"

Ah, indeed. Thanks! :)

Back to the topic, even slightly, I don't really fancy guitar, bass or drum solos to their shows. When playing something like Running Free, solos of some sort are funny enough on the middle, but that's pretty much it.

I really hope that Bruce can keep this insanely great shape for the rest of the tour and next year. Especially if they'll film some upcoming shows... I hope they will.

I saw the CIPWM single cover as a backdrop - that was the second song in the setlist during that tour !

I think they usually record (if not all concerts) all the early concerts from the very beginning of the tour.
