Well, no time for Steve and Simon the had to rush off for the British Lion tour that starts tonight. Bruce is getting ready for his tour. Nicko used to be the guy they went to the most for these videos. Maybe we might see something from the other guys...

These videos are usually recorded before the show or earlier.

Maaan, the footage from the tour looks amazing. I want an official release and one tease with a song. Simon with first official words. Dave is such a legend. Bruce admits his mistakes, he also mentioned Dave's brilliant solos. Adrian said it's one of the best tours they've ever done! Watching this video overall, nothing compares to Maiden! I can't thank you enough really. :)
No hints for next year... I guess next year will be, although in the previous video Bruce teased the fans. It's nothing, but Steve and Bruce said: ''onto the next one, see you the next tour'', which they usually say for a brand new tour.

Just look at those amazing scenes:

edit: I sense an upcoming video with the anniv book and the band members.

Great tour , best band in the world. Nice bit of honesty from Bruce regarding mistakes etc. I will second your earlier vote of Madrid as one of the top shows of the tour, it was absolutely top drawer. :edmetal:

Was expecting some hints of a new album. Maybe next year. But yes, was an amazing concert even though I just watched 1 show. Hopefully, another one next year.

I might be a bit biased, but I'd say Helsinki was very strong one too, especially for Bruce; he was on his prime mode with Powerslave & Rime of the Ancient Mariner!

...okay, it probably doesn't really stand out from the rest, after all, but I still can't stop praising the pertormance of Mariner that night, haha!

Would Dave ever do a solo album? I'd favour Shirley producing and bringing players. Come on!
 
Anyone else think it’s really odd they haven’t added more dates and are acting like the tour is over? They only did thirty something shows. Last tour was 81 and before that 140. Do they always do it like that? Tour isn’t over, first leg is over.
 
Stuttgart was a great performance, we even had new lyrics in „Wasted Years“. Jokes and some obvious live flubs apart, the concert was great and energetic. It should not be remembered because of the bad weather or the rather fatigous outdoor location or drink prices really. The concert was awesome. Where I stood, next to the mixing desk in PIT 2, the sound was clear and loud. Great! This great, great band really nailed so many versions that night - and Bruce was physically as vocally an unbelievable strong frontman. Still blown away and impressed From Iron Maiden in Stuttgart, as you see. What a dream setlist, having sometimes tears in my eyes I specially celebrated „Killers“, „Phantom“, „Powerslave“, „2 minutes „„Run To The Hills“ and the magic of „Rime“, „Clairvoyant“ and „Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son“, also the for myself too often heard „Fear Of The Dark“. And, yes, how I was happy to finally witness „Aces High“ with it’s historic Intro live - in a great version with Bruce trying hard to give it all and succeeding to do so.
Songs to swap? Hm, the opener „Rue Morgue“ did not touch me that much. „Wrathchild“ could also easily be taken out. In general I found the first songs performed a bit uneven and shaky. There were performance and sound issues. Bruce disappeared and after his voice mic sounded much louder and fuller. And, yes, though I love „Wasted Years“ it was sloppy and hushed, and not as good as a closer as in Munich 2023. So give it a break.
With this concept it would be nice to change five to six slots and to bring in 2026 „Revelations“, „Running Free“ „Icarus“, „Alexander“ and two deep cuts from the very early days and from the forgotten album. If possible, I‘ll be there!
