Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

I'm again in love with clansman

Dune-ok. Nomad-ok. But, Assassin? If there is a black sheep of the family in Maiden catalogue, it would be that one (my opinion).

Fair enough, but you can hear the oriental riffs, right?

 

[Сури Вук]

Yep. Maybe you could put Pilgrim in the concept you made, it has that arabic sounding, also?

 

[The Flash]

Played only on one tour, although back in the day Harris told that it was the best song he had ever written. Don't know if they had some other problems because of the Dune theme.

That's almost certainly the case. Frank Herbert was pretty harsh in his refusal to be associated with the song.

One more comment. The new FOH guy is amazing. The drum sound is probably the best I've ever heard at a Maiden concert. Immense. The drums were a bit too loud in Tallinn, but in Helsinki the levela were just right. Also amazing sound in the middle of a barrier.

Ha, you're right. But it's less obvious than the rest. Stealth, kinda.

I'm again in love with clansman

I'm the guy with the black wristband.

They really should keep Clansman in the set for the next tour.

 

[Brigantium]

That's surely going to be popular in the US, so they probably will. Unless there's a riot when Trump visits.

 

[Number 6]

What other songs do they shorten or change live?

I think phantom was shorter in 2005?

Lord of flies with Bruce in 2003 was in a different key and the whoooahh bit was extended.

Angel and the gambler got shorter over the 98 tour. OriginAlly they played the ten minute ridiculous version but it seemed to get down to six by the end

I think "Revelations" in 2003, IIRC. The opening was played only 2 times instead of 4.

Unless there's a riot when Trump visits.

You mean when he takes in one of his courses when in the UK for the state visit?

 

[Сури Вук]

I think "Revelations" in 2003, IIRC. The opening was played only 2 times instead of 4.

Wasn't it on 2005. tour? They also shortened Prisoner in Belgrade in 2014, but I think it was a a mistake, Bruce started to sing first verse earlier.

 

[Number 6]

Wasn't it on 2005. tour

Could be! I don't remember exactly. I know it happened, that's all.

 

[GhostofCain]

I think "Revelations" in 2003, IIRC. The opening was played only 2 times instead of 4.

You are right about Revelations being shorter in 2003. It went back to normal length in 2005.

 

[Magnus]

Revelations being shorter in 2003

The 2003 apocryphal version.

I'm not in love with how tight those trousers are.

Helps him reach the high notes again

 

[Operations666]

The studio version of The Clansman was never one of my favorite songs, but I admit the live version sounds electric. I imagine it is an incredible live experience when the crowd is singing along. Who doesn't love "FREEDOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!"???? I haven't experienced this yet. Hope I do on US tour in 2019.

This song could easily complement Fear of the Dark as obligatory in setlist for crowd participation purposes.

Whatever helps him reach those high registers is fine by me

Anyone else?

Since you mention it, a kilt wouldn't have been half that helpful.
