LEGACY OF THE BEAST WORLD TOUR 2022 - **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

Might as well out myself here, my son is seven, and he absolutely wants to go see Maiden, but I'm hesitant. What do you guys think is the ideal age to first see Maiden nowadays?

Depends on the venue. Arena/stadium where there's seating? Any age. Out in a field? Ehhhhh, wait until they're older.

 

[karljant]

Eh, I thought he had a decent pub singer kind of voice. Wholly inappropriate for the situation, of course, but at least he can carry a tune.

For a punk band maybe... but on Different World it's pure acoustic terrorism.

I think you could definitely take a younger kid but stick to seats rather than standing and maybe get him some ear defenders. I loved Maiden even as a very small child and knew all the songs so would have been happy at age 7. Not to mention we don't know how much longer the band will be actively touring, I would say go for it!

Maybe? No, definitely get him some good ones.

Peoples attitude to protecting their hearing... " if you take a kid to a show get him/her ear defenders"
for yourself- " na dont worry, just slowly bombard yourself with noise and slowly go deaf"

The last time I went to a party, I was covering my ears the whole time. The last time I went to a restaurant, I sneaked up to the control panel and gently turned their music's volume down. If I ever go to a concert, I'm going to wear both earmuffs and earplugs.

 

[Azas]

Honestly, ear protection for a kid is a must. I tried to use earplugs on a Maiden show, but I pulled it out after a minute. Maiden is not a loud band, imo. And that is not a compliment.

Here is the full Zagreb show if anyone wants to watch it....

Damn, Senjutsu is SO much better here than the album. Thanks for this, nice job!

Imo they should release an EP of the three Senjutsu tracks live while Bruce is still fresh.

I know exactly what you mean. I wasn't a big fan of The Writing On The Wall, but it sounds amazing live and now I love the song.

Yeah the sound is very fat and live, has space to breath and the reverb is nice. The album was more dull and boring sounding and the live album was very anemic. Bruce seems to be high in the mix here.

 

[Midnight]

I think that live sound helps Stratego the most, especially since Bruce is now higher in the mix.

That's the thing I noticed most about the live clips...Bruce being nice and high in the mix!

 

[Kalata]

who really cares about the backdrops in 2022.

Well, the backdrops are important part of Maiden's stage sets. I care about them. For example, I wish we will see a backdrop with Eddie standing on the top of a wall for Senjutsu, how cool that would be. I think they are saving more backdrops with Eddie for the album tour.

The fascinating thing is, Steve was considered a terrible singer in the 80s but from listening to bootlegs he actually sounded way better back then. What the hell happened for him to regress straight to basically if I was on stage howling into a mic? It's mystifying.

No it's not out in a field, if it was I could perhaps better see it. I think I conclude he's gonna have to wait.

 

[MindRuler]

What do you guys think is the ideal age to first see Maiden nowadays?

6 years 6months and 6 days

He is the Seven Son, he is the Chosen One. Go ahead and take him...

Can you name any bootlegs so I can listen?

Maybe it's just lack of practice. It's not like he was singing in British Lion.

Thank fuck.
