Ljubljana 2023 had a lot of mistakes as well

Caught Somewhere in Time - Bruce messed up the second verse
Days of Future Past - Steve was all over the place during the intro
The Time Machine - The part before Dave's solo was a disaster
The Prisoner - Nicko extended the song with one chorus
Alexander the Great - I seem to recall Bruce didn't start to sing one verse, even if he would have been on time

Maybe more, I can't remember
 
Sonisphere Pori, Finland 2010, big storm. Second stage where Mötley Crue was supposed to play was destroyed. Bruce introduced Alice Cooper, in attempt to calm the crowd. Maiden played with Slayer's gear, after getting all the hairdryers in the city, stage was very stripped. Crew plane tipped to it's side at the airport. If I remember correctly someone died (days after) and few got injured. Rumour was they visited the hospital to see them. Bruce once said it's the one show he'll never forget or something like that.

 
Blaze in France 1998 did a cracking version of The Trooper.

Instead of-

YOU TAKE MY LIFE BUT I'LL TAKE YOURS TOO

YOU FIRE YOUR MUSKET BUT I'LL RUN YOU THROUGH


Blaze delivered the iconic-

YOU FIRE YOUR MUSKET BUT I'LL RUN YOU THROUGH

DA DA DA DAH DA DA DA DA DAH

They might as well have just played Wasted Years and Trooper in that order once Adrian started the riff
