What other songs do they shorten or change live?

The solo on Where Eagles Dare is also shortened.

Anyways, just arrived home. What. A. Weekend.

Back to life and studying, I guess. Time to Zagreb can't pass quickly enough. Maybe I'll even do the 2nd Krakow show this year and go on a holiday to Poland for a week.
 
Seventh Son was longer during the Maiden England tour. I think they extended the calm part. The Great Unknown got longer and longer last year, Bruce extended the ending almost every night.
 
The problem with the X Factor and Virtual X1 was at the time Blaze Bayley sounded no better than any number of pub rock band singers that I used to watch. I just sat thinking Iron Maiden could and should have recruited so much better. However after Bruce anyone would have been struggling to be up to the job.
 
Sad to say, but there is something about his style on faster passages that reminds me of pub band singers. And yet he can sing a lot better. Curse of the non vocalist-friendly songwriting again?

So you are not selling your Zagreb ticket then, are you? ;)

If Maiden had gotten a better singer after Bruce, then late 90s Maiden might have been more successful. In that case Bruce might never have returned.

Blaze’s ineptitude saved Maiden.

Bruce was irreplaceable. Not only were they trying to replace one of the best and more charismatic hard rock/heavy metal singers of all time, but also arguably the best heavy metal frontman ever.

Even a great singer would have struggled to fill Bruce's shoes.

Blaze was great on his own songs
 
We’ll see how this tour will develop but judging by their energy they can make another album thanks to it. New energy, great stage theatrics and reception can mobilize them to do something great :)
 
I'm curious to know how this stage set will look like at a stadium. Well, we soon gonna see, on the next tour date - the concert in Sweden ! :nana:
