RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

[Abas]

Neither Janick nor Adrian ever took a solo Dave recorded.

Not even shows where Dave didn't perform?

Weren't those shows cancelled?

Regarding RIR 2001, If I had to change something - Out Of The Silent Plant in the set or a song from SIT.

Out of the silent plant
Dreams of vegetation
Deserted by the hands of gods
Such is germination

There was no solo there in the original recording, it was a live-only addition and Dave played the solo because he was (so to say) the soloist at the time. Also he usually played it under the last verse while in 2005 they put it after, leading to the jam and into Sanctuary.

Neither Janick nor Adrian ever took a solo Dave recorded.

Except for Adrian doing Dave’s Flight of Icarus outro solo in 1997. Not a Maiden performance but close.

That was a good version of it.

I'm not sure, though you maybe right

I was listening to the FOTD album this morning on my commute. I was thinking about the prospect of Wasting Love being played. I can see the three amigos onstage with their acoustic guitars all in unison… and then I thought about the amount of acoustic guitar strings they would go through on the tour just to play that song. What a waste of perfectly good guitar strings.

...yes, and Roy Z did Dave's solos on Powerslave and 2MTM in the '90s. But that was an entirely other band.

Nita Strauss too played Dave's solos for years.
