The Future Past tour 2023

[Dick Brucinson]

That's why Janick accompanies Bruce's vocals in so many reunion songs. This way if Bruce hurts himself or something they don't need to cancel the shows since the vocal melodies are still there

To be consequent, Bruce should always accompany Janicks guitar solos with a decent vocal line in the background.

I might be tipsy here but I also see how Maiden's fast paced lyrics can be more difficult than his solo stuff that he wrote to fit his

The red and the black is a good example of this, the live version sounds terrible and i don't blame Bruce. It's just that whoever wrote it tried to fit too many words in too short a space of time.

I'm too lazy to read the whole thread. Have the rehearsals started yet?

 

[gazda]

Do we know location of it?
Maybe again in Split, there is no so much distance between Zagreb and Ljubljana so they could repeate last year Split.

I'm almost sure it's Split. The rehearsals will probably start a few days after Bruce's shows in Brazil.

Bruce doesnt even sound that good on the studio version of it

Just my personal opinion, the first 4:30 of The Red and the Black kind of suck.

But after that it shifts to something glouriously triumphant.

The should open the set with "Deja Vu" and the open the encore with "Deja Vu" and when the audience look confused Bruce can say "you only feel like you heard "Deja Vu" earlier.

NAMM is this week. Let's see if Nicko is there and if he spills some beans about the setlist... Again.

I saw Maiden on the Book of Souls tour at Madison Square Garden, NY, and he sounded phenomenal on Red and the Black. He sounded great the entire show actually.

Thanks for the heads up, I might need to close the Setlist contest before that...

I wouldn't bet on him being there- British Drum Company is not at NAMM this year. Paiste is, but I think the lack of BDC increases the chance he won't show up.

Pretty much mine too. I'm not a fan of the verses at all--too high for Bruce to comfortably sing without strain even on the studio track (and worse live), and it's got Harris's "let's have the lead guitar match the vocal melody" stamp on it.

But once we get out of those woods, the song (and especially the prolonged instrumental) is sooooo damn good.

In a weird way, I hope they open with Senjutsu again just to troll everyone who said it was a crap opener. I quite liked it.

We have too much Senjutsu (song) hate here. It was great opener together with Stratego! But I still hope they would open with CSiT.

 

[Vaenyr]

I think, if CSIT makes the setlist it'll definitely be the opening song.

I wouldn't mind it. But I would like it to be more theatrical. Bruce in some sort of outfit, maybe pounding a drum above Nicko and a lot of pyro (beacons).

And when the song has finished Bruce´s first rant.

Announcing the start of the concert with the loud Taiko drum sound and drawing all attention to the stage was not such a bad idea imho.
