Been there too, but Bospop wasn't a good gig, really.
The band were in a rush to finish the show, weren’t they?

Excluding Alexander, the unexpected surprises are CIPWM and to a lesser extent Celts instead of Parchment imo. Maybe dropping both Hallowed and NOTB was also a surprise. Adding Prisoner not so much because Bruce talked about it (SIASL too) and Nicko played it last year with his solo band.Managed to have no spoilers for the set, bar obviously working out that Alexander would be played. Also all the SIT and Senjutsu tracks that I had an inkling would be played were played except for Death of the Celts which I thought had a chance but Parchment was what I thought was more likely. Would have never guessed in a million years for CIPWM and The Prisoner, and overall the set was pretty short on the "staples" with only 4 of the set regulars and even then Wasted Years isn't one of the most regulars.
He accidently called it the Futureal tour at Hellfest
iron maiden is huge in brazil.Rock in Rio anyone? If Maiden aren't good for festivals then why do they keep having them as headliners?
My thoughts exactly! I was quite infront of the stage and couldn't get rid of the feeling that there was a plane home to catch for them or so. And I was wondering what was going on, since I have never witnessed such a strange collective behaviour of them before or after.The band were in a rush to finish the show
Going a bit offtopic, but seeing Metallica yesterday in Gothenburg makes today's Maiden seem like they're in their prime.
All I heard was... just noise. And Ulrich bashing the drums loud as hell while altering the tempo every each second. Could not feel any sense of musicality at all last night.
Also, because of the round stage and where I stood, for 70% of the show I couldn't even see anyone playing.
Made me miss good old Maiden
Yes, I knowiron maiden is huge in brazil.
Worst as in fan response?Just throwing in my two cents but I've seen Maiden at a good handful of UK festivals over the past 20 years and for me the worst of the bunch was the hit-filled Download 2013 show

Yep, sadly it might turn into CNIT, Caught Nowhere In Time.
Apart from the fact that Adrian keeps playing the intro guitar lick too slowly.They finally nailed Wasted Years yesterday.
Adrian changed the solo - he extended the tapping at the end and the last notes are different but also cool.
That's intentional. I don't know why they do it, but yeah...Apart from the fact that Adrian keeps playing the intro guitar lick too slowly.
We always talk about Bruce and Steve’s stubbornness, but I think Adrian is right up there too.That's intentional. I don't know why they do it, but yeah...
