If they had 50k then that's quite good I would say.

Sonisphere 2014 with Maiden and Metallica headlining apparently had 30k, although that number isn't official

That would be crazy if true. Although maybe would go some way to explain why that festival died. Which was a shame as Knebworth is a much better site than Donington.
 
I am glad to hear you had a great time at Eddfest guy! It looks as if great effort was put into making the whole thing special! :)

It is a shame you ended up getting a substandard vocal performance though. :(
 
Europe is now done and looking forward to finally bringing this shindig to the Americas. Hopefully they won't officially announce they are filming the Charlotte show which means it will go on without a hitch, heh.

The event itself was really great, organisational issues with getting in and out aside (and those were sort of inevitable I can't lie).

It was heartwarming if anything to have a large and enthusiastic crowd help Bruce through. He was an absolute trooper (heh) through the whole set and people really gave him their energy and helped out, especially during the encore. It was, kind of oddly, a special-feeling show because of that aspect. I wouldn't want to be the person reviewing that Aces High footage this morning - I'm sure they'll work something out with it but it was far from ideal - but I think they'll be pretty happy with the other two tracks, Bruce did well and the crowd was loud and responsive throughout.

My MVP of the night was actually Simon, who was really consistent and played with a good amount of flair in his fills, more than last year or even earlier in the tour this year. I'd say last year and earlier this year, he (quite understandably) made just as many flubs as any other member of the band. But between this and Paris, he seems to have really settled in and got comfy with the rest of the band, and the rest of the band seems to have a great rapport with him onstage too. He also has a great big smile on his face whenever the camera cuts to him, which is lovely to see.

Other than that, The Darkness were great fun and sort of an ideal "warm everyone up" opener, so Steve made a good pick even though I was questioning it. Maiden were on fine form and well locked in, sound was better than expected, crowd good. Other than Bruce having an illness I think the band will be very happy with that as a special event and as a closer to the European tour.
