Just back from four Aussie shows. I won FTTB to Perth and Brisbane and enjoyed the two Sydney shows from further back.One of the weirdest rambling nonsensical intros I’ve ever heard Bruce do, starting around the 15 minute mark.
Auckland New Zealand, full show.
WHAT A VIEW! Lucky me at BrisbaneJust back from four Aussie shows. Great, I won FTTB to Perth and Brisbane and enjoyed the two Sydney shows from further back.
But I confirm - bruce's rambling intros and tangential song connections are getting worse. Some nights they are awful, other nights OK. I think it started on Book of Souls with that naff 'your parents may have conceived you listening to this...you are all Children of the Damned'. The intros make him sound like an old man...
Aside from that, I can report that Maiden are in rude health. From halfway back in the arena, Steve and Janick look like they have barely aged! Band sounds crisp and tight by a week into the tour mostly (aside from the minor issues noted earlier). In fact, Syndey 1 was the show I enjoyed the least, but that's because I missed the first third (due to me having to take a work call!)
I enjoyed Brisbane the most, but I was FTTB in front of Steve/Janick, my favourite spot.
WHAT A VIEW! Lucky me at Brisbane
Yes.Did Gers do the outro solo to SIASL on the Ed Hunter tour like they’re doing now?
Thats rough...Man the wheels almost came off on Iron Maiden, Nicko was totally off. 1hr25.
I must have missed the memo about ex-Maiden keyboardist Tony Moore (Cutting Crew) opening for British Lion on all dates on the current tour.

agreed, not the right tone for me eitherThe LOTR references were kinda cute but the "we came from the other side of the world, just as most of you originally did" gets a major yikes from me lol
Thankfully he didn't mention this to audience in Australia...The LOTR references were kinda cute but the "we came from the other side of the world, just as most of you originally did" gets a major yikes from me lol
Oof lolThankfully he didn't mention this to audience in Australia...

They would sound rejuvenated and the songs would obviously sound better.I have to admit that I would be a bit curious to hear how they would sound live with a different drummer.
So bizarre. Can't understand half of what he's garbling, the other half...yeesh.One of the weirdest rambling nonsensical intros I’ve ever heard Bruce do, starting around the 15 minute mark.
