The singing is very free on coming home though. He gets great resonance and the air flows freely there.

Edit: Yes, I agree: The En Vivo performance is superior to the album.

Edit 2: Although, En Vivo featured none of the more difficult TFF songs, than The Talisman. BUt The Talisman is definitely better than the album version.

I definitely like The Talisman better on En Vivo better than the album version as well. Also Bruce does struggle just a bit on TFF the song so I do wonder if that's a bit difficult as well.
 
Not particularly to do with the vocals, but I thought Where The Wild Wind Blows was too choppy/changy on the album but flows brilliantly on En Vivo. I find it hard to sit through the album version but the EV version is a great song IMO. Do the band under-rehearse for their albums?

And, on the vocals, I quite like the sound of the strain. It gives character to the lyrics, I kind of overdrive for the voice that suits metal. Mother of Mercy is too strained though, sounds like Bruce had a cold.

Yes, because now the song isn't only annoying, it is also wrong!

It's appalling how inaccurate popular music is these days. I'd rather return to Iron Maiden and their founded description of how Darius III, defeated, fled Persia before Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well.

I have no idea why, but I've had "Return To Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins stuck in my head all morning :/

Clearing my head with some classic hair metal. Thanks iTunes.
 
The one Rod asked for the other week was a requirement on resale websites to state the original price of the ticket and say who had supplied it - intended to make it obvious if someone is harvesting tickets for resale and selling them through resale agents with a large mark up. I doubt that'll go through, there's been quite a bit said about the conditions interfering with viable secondary ticket sales businesses. It looks like it's sports events which have the biggest problem, particularly Rugby Union. Football ticket resales are restricted anyway.

I would think (and hope) anyone going to a resale site would know they are paying above face value in most all cases. You see a lot of Americans buy season tickets for a team and sell off a portion of them above face value (usually on league sanctioned sites) to pay for some, if not all of their cost and they go to some games still. I have a hard time seeing that go away as the team makes money twice (once from selling the season tickets and again taking a fee of the resale).

Concerts seem an entirely different animal as they are one off events.
 
I think the biggest sports issues were one-off cricket test matches and Six Nations rugby matches, tickets for those are like gold dust. Football resales are already controlled, probably in an effort to stop known troublemakers getting into matches. There was quite a crackdown on that. Yes, I'd always expect a big mark up in secondary sales, it would only be a token 'you're being watched' gesture, and of course identifying anyone who is buying and reselling large numbers of tickets contrary to the conditions of the original issuer.
 
Tomorrow marks the end of the 10th week of a labour dispute that has turned my office into a tomb and could end with it being closed down.
