Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

That was brilliant, was that in the middle of the set?

Not exactly the middle. Between Moonchild and CIPWM.

I would like to see Steve do a Bass Solo

Steve once said he didn't do bass solos "because they're bloody boring".

Bass solos are boring. Drum solos are boring. Guitar solos are boring.

The only way those things aren’t boring is when they’re contained within a song. One person on a stage just soloing away without any accompaniment gets old real quick.

I like how Adrian improvise during The Wicker Man solo Anyone know what Bruce says at the start of the song ?

I HATE his changes in this solo. That said, the very last run before the vocals kick in is nice.

It sounds like the end of TRATB solo...

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

Uh... no...? Pretty much all of Maiden's live albums that focus on one specific venue have been recorded late in the tour. LAD was recorded in 1985 (nearly a year after the start of the tour), RIR was the very last show of the BNW tour, the unreleased Donington 2007 concert was also by the end of the tour... I think the only ones that were recorded early(ier) on in their respective tours were Donington 1992 and DOTR, which were both midtour. Maiden never released a live album from an early concert on any tour.

What about the Live Chapter - most of the songs are from the early concerts.

 

[Mosh]

Maiden record all of their concerts. They have since at least 2003.

I specifically mentioned single-concert albums in my post.

Yes.

Is Adrian repaired the neck of the white and black Jackson ? I love how he play the lead melody on SOTC along with Janick

The original neck of the Prototype I was damaged beyond repair. But it's possible that it was re-necked and now has the same neck as the production models (with signature on the headstock and the barrel truss rod adjustment). The noly way to determine Prototype I and Prototype II is now the colour. The first one is finished in matte white, But considering that this guitar has a chipped pickguard, which can be a result of H's violence, I'd say that the neck was swapped.

Edit: I'm wrong. It's the Prototype II, serial 8467. Seen RTTH video from Freiburg where he used it and it has a chipped pickguard.

I guess Proto I hasn't been re-necked yet.

 

[matic22]

Edit again: Prototype II's serial number is 8475 and not 8467. 8467 is the stolen Jackson prototype II for the Ebony version.

No interesting bass solos by Beckett, I presume.

Didn’t Steve do kind of a bass solo on the X Factour? I seem to remember him doing one on an acoustic bass...

"Blood On the World's Hands" intro.

 

[jazz from hell]

Btw I’ve seen each and every Maiden tour since the X-Factour. But I’m probably gonna miss the current tour, since I’ll be abroad when they come to town...

"Blood On the World's Hands" intro.

Exactly!

 

[Dangerina]

I've said this already, and I'll repeat myself: Bruce never sounded bad, period. To claim otherwise is insane to me.

I second this. We're too nitpicky about him and his singing. To me he has the best voice on this planet, I should be insane to complain about his singing.
