The UK event shirt looks a lot like Infinite Dreams/Maiden England.
ACES REPLACED BY INFINITE DREAMS INCOMING.
(Of course I'm joking)

Those high notes in the chorus give me goosebumps. Man. I forgot what an insane show that was. Also looking at the stage show, I'm sure glad this was before their idea of the biggest, greatest show meant a giant screen because just look at how cool the whole package is with the lights and the goddamned Spitfire.

Same, I somehow forgot just how powerful the Spitefire is, especially now when I've witnessed the giant screen and video. There's just no comparison.
 
Run to the hills graspop 2025. He was sick. He almost speaks the song
And again my thoughts are if they start ALWAYS at 2100 or 2115 and this tour is in open venues or big stadiums... who thought the screens will work under the sun
 
Bruce sang Aces High down lower this evening in Birmingham, honestly in the room I didn't have a problem with it, he does a good job setting up the crowd to go high and then harmonising with the room. He largely seems better from his cold (thank goodness) but if he sticks with this it's fine, I really didn't mind it at all, and it sounded better than him straining in Budapest. It helped that you could really tell the band, and Bruce in particular, have a lot of fun with that song.

Other than a couple of minor timing fuck ups on Powerslave and 2M2M they sounded way stronger here than in Budapest, and the band is back to doing more funny stuff on stage (especially Janick) which is good. Energy was high, the band seemed in really high spirits, and honestly tonight they had the best sound I've ever heard at any show. Don't know if it's just the arena being good but the sound was super crisp, clear, and well mixed. I could hear the crunch/crispness on solos and really clearly hear distinctly the three separate guitars which is a challenge most of the time to say the least. I was really really impressed with that aspect.

Also Bruce made a joke about people commenting on Simon's kit size online! He's watching you!

Good to hear!
 
Just back from Birmingham - a way tighter performance than the videos I’ve seen from the start of the tour.

Agree with snarf - some humour and light heartedness creeping back into the show. Bruce spoke well to the crowd, was witty at times.

Aces High was ok, not as bad as Graspop, but ok. A few times the band didn’t seem as tight as usual (11:58 at one point slipped). But in general they sounded powerful and Simon most importantly sounded powerful too.

Really glad I went, I spontaneously bought a resale ticket literally this morning and hitched a lift to Brum with an excellent Maiden mate.

My nerves are calmed for this tour …

however, and it’s a big point:

The screens are a distracting annoyance for me most of the time. I’m not a fan of this approach. Luckily I was up close so could mainly ignore them, as my Jan / Steve photo shows. Except sometimes you can’t like for moments in Aces Low …
