I didn't pick up breakfast on the way to work today and lunch is too far away. I'm hungry.

A very nice NPFTD-esque art (at least), working colors. If only the set had one more song from the 90s it would have been perfect.
Yes and no (the artist decide about the art?), they just don't like this album at all, which is a shame because there are some really cool songs to play live. We were lucky to get Afraid in 2012/2013, ARLDO celebration short tour should have been done already.
Yeah, but fans would welcome Daughter (cool live, perfect for encore opener), Be Quick (classic), Tailgunner (I guess not really, despite the inclusion of it in EH), No Prayer (fitting for the set, a gem), Wasting Love (popularity). Especially since you have performances like Aces, I can't believe Bruce is ok with this. And with a Hits tour is easier to choose.

Yeah, there's just not much to choose from. Tailgunner gets brought up a lot and there is a 0% chance of them ever playing it. Certainly not on a greatest hits tour.
Bring Your Daughter would be an amazing encore opener... The lyrics aren't complicated and even casual listeners wouldn't have problems with singing them. Especially if Maiden played it in the way they did in 2003. An extended version (like Running Free from LAD) would be really nice for this tour.

I would have hoped Bring Your Daughter back to the setlists and they could have played it earlier aswell.
It's been kinda long time since it was last played (in 2003).

I can't believe you people want Tailgunner and Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter in the set.

Enjoy your aces average.

Just got back from the Bucharest show. Some brief points:
- sound was awful; not because of the band, but because of the venue - that place should not host any shows whatsoever. The voice was not clear at all and the guitars could not cut through the mix, especially at solos; I would rate it 6/10. For Anthrax, the sound was 2/10;
- very strong performance, still hard to explain how do they still have the energy and drive to deliver such a show;
- Bruce fucked Killers - full stop at some point
and was off time during RTTH; maybe some IEM issues;
- Simon delivered decently, but I could clearly hear the difference from Nicko; much less elaborate execution and sometimes he struggled to keep the groove - especially during ID, SSOTSS and ROTAM; Adrian and Steve were frequently going to him to balance the pace and coordinate;
- strong delivery from all 3 guitars, with highlights on Dave and H. Adrian used the green Jackson for several songs (e.g. Rime, Trooper, Aces, Wasted).

Why? Most people here have already heard the hits many, many times. Even if songs such as Tailgunner and BYDTTS might not the best tracks Maiden have in their discography (although personally I consider the latter very enjoyable), hearing them would be interesting. Like, it wouldn't be a lifechanging experience, but it would be refreshing. And who knows, perhaps someone could reconsider their opinion on these songs after hearing them live. It happens sometimes.
