RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

I can understand the public transportation thing. Friend and I went to see KISS in Atlanta for the the Lick it Up tour. It was the first night of the tour and there has a massive delay to the start of the show. Problem with their sound system it was said. Anyway the show ended so late the MARTA trains had stopped running and all of us who took the train were basically stranded. I had to call my parents to come pick us up as we didn't have money for a taxi (probably would have had a rough time trying to grab one anyway)

Very sad that this happened on the worst possible night. Will be interesting to see how they handle it.

I suspect they'll just use the show as it is. They went to all that effort of getting the phone pouches so I dont think they'll want to use footage from other shows mixed in (unless they skip the wide/crowd shots to hide it)

I also can't see them rehiring additional camera crew etc to record another show.

Outside of the second half of Midnight and the encores they have a near full filmed show. They could easily use the soundboard audio and video filmed for the big screens last year to make a complete set. It will look okay if done properly.
 
I was at the last two good natured 'power cut shows' by coincidence: Earls Court Christmas 2006 and NYC MSG 2008.

Obviously Paris was much worse (and I wasn't there). But one strategy is to turn the concert film into a 'triumph through adversity' story? So long as the cameras started to roll again for mariner. The gap will need to be covered somehow and they need the encore from elsewhere.

Most bands of their vintage would have stormed off, no way an Axl or Kiss or Ozzy (rip) late in their career would have persisted. Maybe Metallica might, but there is a 'Maiden spirit' in the story somewhere... call it 'Paris: Blowing the Grid' or something!
 
Patch it up with Eddfest and the rest of the tour. Go behind the scenes of what makes a tour at this scale. It could (and perhaps should!) be a different take than "just" a regular concert anyway. This being a celebration of a band that just turned 50.
 
Definitely worth another tour documentary - maybe turn the whole thing into another Flight 666, with a tour documentary/50th celebration thrown in with the concert film.
