Legacy of the Beast Tour 2018 - CONTAINS SPOILERS

[srfc]

It was fine in Glasgow (and Dublin) last year, and haven't you noticed that Bruce has been waving the flag of the host country during 'The Trooper' this year? I have no idea if he'll use the Union flag for all the British shows or the flag of each nation.

I just meant it as a little joke

I'm glad he fixed one issue with that performance from the early shows, judging by some of the later videos: he kept dropping the host country flag on the ground after being done with it, which obviously doesn't have the greatest optics. I think now he drops it backstage, which is much better since it's out of view for the audience.

He used to actually throw it over the back of the set. I wonder why that stopped?

Union flag in England, St Andrew's Cross in Scotland.

And if they had played Wales on their "UK" tour, they could have used the Welsh flag too.

I am sure the English would prefer their own flag, not the Royal Standard (Union Jack). I could be wrong though.

That was your first mistake. Best not to jest with The Wizard, he is Scottish and therefore dour as fuck.

In the first half of the year The Legacy of the Beast tour made $17.3M making it the 52nd biggest tour of the year.

Only 52nd ? I'm surprised. I know the tour is still far of the end, but this shows that Maiden keep prices reasonable compared to others (although Madrid gig was really expensive).

 

[Black Wizard]

To make it any bigger they'll have to increase ticket prices which are high enough as it is.

To make it any bigger they'll have to increase ticket prices which are high enough as it is.

The big mainstream acts are outrageously expensive compared to Maiden and even most other rock bands like Metallica and Green Day are a good £10 or £20 more, in fact Maiden have consistently been the cheapest act I've seen at the O2 every year I've been to see them there! And most acts have far less production (let alone performance quality, where no one can top Maiden). Combined with the ticketless system which stops fans being exploited by touts I think Maiden are easily one of the more consumer friendly big acts out there.

Hahahaha

Why oh why do more artists not do this?! I've never had any problem getting tickets to Maiden, not had a lot of luck with any other gigs because of fucking scalpers buying all the tickets.

Oh dear. Oh dear.
Must delete a few posts then.
Or will this only make it worse?

It's not entirely accurate. Maiden played 17 cities in the first half of this year, not 19. And apparently that list is based on headline shows, not including festivals.

Hi! A friend of mine went to Madrid and recorded this with short bits of most of the songs.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Wow Sabaton had a tiny crowd.

 

[ghkghk]

We have a problem with this mobile phones stuff... Pretty sad to watch half of the audience just recording the whole show. No singing, no dancing...

 

[ghkghk]

Wow Sabaton had a tiny crowd.

Something like 5 000 people I'd say. Maybe some more since there were a couple thousands seated in their seats and you can't see that in the video. Like I was.

Bear in mind that the venue is HUGE.

definently looks like his. I love his artwork for Maiden. What venue is this shirt/art from?

Not as high as Metallica......nearly £100 (inc booking fees) to see them at the O2 last year, as good as they are I still can't understand how they can justify those sort of prices?
