Moments that just bring a smile to your face

[Ascendingthethrone]

The title says it all. I’ll start.

Not only is this performance a complete force of nature, I always get a smile on my face during the final verse beginning with ‘Weary limbs fatigued away’. Adrian’s windmills, Bruce’s stance and the energy. It is just amazing. Plus Adrian is clearly loving it.

I believe it’s the moment that the photo from the back of En Vivo was taken. Personally, that is one of my favourite photos from the band.

The "galloping" breakdowns during Sanctuary. Dortmund is my favorite.

I will second Sanctuary but this version.

They were clearly having the time of their life during the instrumental section!

The moments where they joke around, the fun interaction between them always brings a smile.

At a first thought from RIR 2001:

- Bruce standing behind Dave and Janick during the fast instrumental section of Ghost Of The Navigator.
- ''Mr. Janick Gers comes to Rio''!
- Adrian laughing with Nicko during the calm part of Clansman.
- Nicko's dance during Clasnman, also his looks at the camera.
- Bruce's dance during Clansman.
- Bruce hugging Janick at the end of Clansman.
- Janick's interaction with Eddie, always.
- Bruce kicking the ball to the crowd during Evil That Men Do.
- the end of Hallowed with Dave and Nicko interacting.

Also in general, every time when the band is up front for Trooper and Hallowed.

When the 3 amigos come to the front and play side by side,
When Janick and Adrian interact
Interaction between Janick and Dave during Fear of the Dark and Wasted Years
Nicko dancing during Clansman intro
Bruce introducing the band and the crowd's reaction when it comes to Nicko
Bruce interacting/having fun/joking with band members on stage.
Janick saluting the audience
Steve intruding during Nicko's interview and saying, "don't believe a word he says"

Most of the time, there are funny moments during interviews with the band members, and that brings a smile to my face.
