RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

The last great drums play in IM were on 2022 before Nickos stroke.

The live drum tone for the band was absolutely excellent starting with the first leg of Legacy of the Beast.

Yeah, I can see that. Maybe I focused too much on Nicko and Adrian when I wrote the previous comment. The band clearly had to shake off some rust when they started LOTB 2022. Steve was a bit muted, while Bruce was probably the most notable. His timing issues on RTTH are no secret, but even beyond that I remember there being discussion about him being unusually reserved. Barely any talking or banter, little movement on stage compared to precious tours.

I guess both LOTB 2022 and TFP had different strengths and weaknesses. I had a great time on both shows though, despite the kinks here and there.

Ehhhhhh, I think the banter was always minimal on both iterations of the Legacy set. There was only really one banter break, 2018-19 was prior to The Clansman, 2022 was before Blood Brothers. I think there was at least some semblance of variation to his speech pre-Covid. Don't remember Bruce's level of movement on stage from 2022 in comparison to 2019, but 2019 he was performing having just blown out his Achilles prior to the North American run.
