The Future Past Tour 2024

[matic22]

What happened with the Gold One? I think he only used it in 2010 in US

Never liked it too much it seems. Only played it on Iron Maiden in 2010.

It seems to me that Adrian is experimenting a lot more than usual with solos (see WY and Alexander - I’m not sure if the latter was intentional or a complete mess up with a nice comeback).

He has increasingly added improvisations to the solos over the years without disrespecting the original recording. I like it.

Listened 6 songs and Nicky already sounded better than any of last year I´ve heard. Certainly promising for the future. They speeded up the tempo a notch as well.

 

[BludBrutha]

Wish they’d do Deja Vu or Sea of Madness, Heaven Can Wait has been overdone. Least they’ve dropped that stupid fan singalong (that you couldn’t hear because none of them had microphones). It’s too high for Bruce now as well.

I'd say Nicko's level in Perth was mid-2023 tour (which is a great sign considering the circumstances). He still went swimming tempo-wise on occasion or two (during some hard fills... But much better than Ljubljana.

Bruce at the end of IM: "Good night from Eddie and the boys (combined age over 400 years)".

I'm waiting for conspiracy theories that if he didn't say 'we'll be back' it means it's over.

 

[Kalata]

Completely out of left field and I have a ton of respect for them doing that.

They are fucking awesome for being this ballsy with their set lists at this stage in their career.

This.

No more “Run to the Hills”, please.

I don't expect RTTH and Aces High (to name the most popular examples) to be played again.

Yep, and I like his improvisations, but exactly these two solos are too memorable to be changed.

I'm waiting for conspiracy theories that if he didn't say 'we'll be back' it means it's over.

I really hope that doesn't happen.

Well, maybe. At least Wasted Years has been crossing the toe over the overplayed territory line in recent years. No need to play that one after this tour I´d say. HCW was overplayed from its release until 2003, then it has been benched for quite some time and long enough to be actually quite refreshing to hear it return last year. For me either way its ok, play it or retire it. Run To The Hills however does not need a return, thank you and good riddance.

Was the claims from last year that they rehearsed Moonchild false? Remember some claiming they heard it outside the stadium before first gig

 

[matic22]

Somebody is horribly out of tune afther the solos and until the end of the song. My bet is on Janick.

Yes.

Shame to see the top tier curtained off

H with a Gazza Moore style run at 4:08...

Love it.

 

[Courbet]

Yeah, we don't move around and "get into it" like we used to but it doesn't mean we enjoy the show any less than the dipshits who light flarest or scream lyrics (very badly) in your ear the whole fucking show.

I feel so called out right here
I am-admittedly- that guy.

Amusing message next to your profile pic - a melancholic guy accepting his fate. Well, at least you´re not the First Maiden Gig Starter Pack -individual - go berserk only during FOTD and Trooper.

Steve is such a hero..still bombing to the front of the stage as fast as his 68 year old legs will carry him. What a legend
