RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

Here is rime of the ancient mariner sofia. You can see a bit of adrians face looking at bruce and then looking at steve,he did like 2 or 3 times. In the video doesnt sound so out of time wich is weird in the stadium the bass and bruce were totaly oposite. Maybe he was saying he was singing well

All the answers can be found within their sacred texts:

...
Scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again
...
(I'd like to think that when I die [Once the current tour is over]
I'd get a chance, another time)
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again

Last night was the best show of the tour for me. Bruce had a very good night, and hardly any issues with timing. Murders actually went really well, kudos for that! I have no idea what’s going on with Killers anymore, but it’s one of the highlights for sure, and the walk on Eddie is one of the best they ever had. I do think they should drop the walk on for The Trooper though. Two is one too much, and it loses impact. Seventh Son’s solo section is pure brilliance, but shorten the damn part in the middle.

The first verses to Hallowed were brutal on Bruce, but he recovered amazingly and even Aces High was more than tolerable. And just keep Wasted Years as the final song forever and ever.

Back home today, before Paris and Oslo in a few weeks.

I think the start of the show is better than we expected. Lot of energy. Seventh son i love it as much as mariner.

It's curious that he changed it, but maybe he'll announce his solo dates for next year soon and it's like a co-promotion in a way. Let's see what he says in the next show. They probably had some sort of talks about what they're going to do in 2028 (next year is a break, it was announced already), so let's hope for the best. Steve wants to tour, some other member/s not, would they continue without new music...

They are in a very good shape, retirement should not be discussed based on that.

Despite the rougher verses and not going for some high lines (he knows how to keep his voice, which is ironic when they play Aces in encores), this should be plausible for the DVD (maybe he will go for all the high notes). No scream. It's the only song he really struggles with, Hills and Hallowed are the other challenges, at least the former is not played in the encores.

How about the theory that they’re more influenced by Rod’s or management’s opinions these days than they used to be when it comes to what would make for a good live show?

Rod suggested some songs for the LOTB tour (iirc), which is a surprise for Maiden really. Bruce knows which songs are for a good live show, but he should be comfortable singing them. Aces is a favorite, but it's not like they didn't try it as a closer in 2022 (both times played because of a stage gimmick) and they have another big classic in Evil that was skipped. For example, Infinite Dreams is a perfect live song for them now.

Sure, Bruce could have refused to sing a song, but with Bruce, you could also imagine that he wanted to take it on as a challenge.
Last year he struggled with “Aces High,” so this year he’s showing that he can do it after all - at least that was the plan.

Yeah, but is he good with such performances (when he's still great live) and to be recorded and released officially. He dropped Aquarius (also played near the end of the set) from his solo set, ofc not saying it is as popular.

Best Hallowed in some time. Wow.

And Simon played/it faster, which is an immediate improvement. It's so annoying to read comments ''they should retire'' because of the tempos or Bruce's mad decision.

LOL Rob was fast this time. The video is not available. Hope you managed to see it. If someone find the full show please let me know. Thanks

They really play great ID,the slow part the galloping part the vibe...even better than 88 because bruce voice
 
Great show last night from the front rows for me and my 12-years old son. Maiden still deliver fantastically. Powerslave and ID were my personal highlights. The 3 first songs were absolutely brutal, our feets didnt touch the floor. The audience was quite young (says a fan in his late 40s) and lively.
 
I really like the idea of a solo Bruce tour next year. I very much enjoyed the last one. He was at his best and picked a really nice setlist.

Could be a Bruce solo tour in 2027?

Uh...isn't that already a foregone conclusion, what with Bruce saying long ago the new album would be finished in 2026 but not released until early 2027 so he could tour it? And that he already has touring plans laid down for late 2027? Or perhaps you're just being facetious, which didn't necessarily translate to text.

Brice used to say "we will see you again" after every show I attended (5) in 2025. This year in Athens he said "we will see you again... in a pub maybe".

Hmm...so the "we'll see you" changing to "I'll see you" wasn't just a mid-sentence flub exclusive to one show then. I agree it's probably just that no definitive plans have been established for 2028 and beyond, but curious he'd project that uncertainty more than once on stage.
