RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2025 Tour Thread *SPOILERS INSIDE*

Went to the show on Saturday in Prague.
It was the best Maiden have sounded since like 2008.
Simon was on fire and the band as a whole was just simply killer, even Aces High sounded good and the flow of the setlist worked very well.
The plea for leaving phones in the pocket was impactful and ppl vere just taking little snippets here and there so the atmosphere was simply electrifying.

Also fucking 60 000 people???
Isn´t it the biggest non festival show performed in Europe?
 
On the second Budapest night (the 28th), while playing The Trooper, Adrian interacted with Eddie for a few seconds. He pulled off some Priest-style guitarist moves—like the ones from Breaking the Law (where Rob joins in too). Nice. Ha ha.
 
Just watched this year’s rendition of Hallowed Be Thy Name. That whole choreography—when the sentenced figurine starts running from the ghost/death—is absolutely chilling. Almost brought me to tears. Incredible production of the song.
 
Bruce sounds really good, except the Aces torture and the really fast parts of Hallowed and Murders. The rest are as good as they were a decade or 2 ago. He shines in Powerslave and SSOASS. Songs like Phantom look so easy for him. The band is tighter now, maybe they're using clicks or something, but that's not a bad thing. You can't really synchronize the music with what's happening on the screen otherwise.

They are definitely using click now. You could feel a few moments where the band did not sound used to it in Clairwoyant or Iron Maiden, where Nicko used to speed up in some parts.
 
Nicko used to play around more obviously with time than Simon, but from the clips I've heard I very much doubt they use any click tracks. For which songs do you guys think they use clicks?

You forgot to mention rock in rio (both 1985 and 2001) with ~250k in the audience. And in 2013, 2019 and 2022 were ~100k.
 
I even find the video on the screen lame for Aces High. It's so repetitive. A backdrop would have been better. They really had no reason to include this song. They did it so well on the Legacy tour with the Spitfire prop.
