The Official Book of Souls Tour 2016 Thread (Warning: Spoilers within!)

Yeah, one thing to consider is that Brazil's economy is in a really, really bad moment. Also, the tickets are expensive. I think if we consider all this, São Paulo being sold out already (41.000 tickets) is a very good thing.
 
When I saw that short official video from the tour I thought - couldn't they release a couple of pro-shot songs like this? Just for their YouTube channel once in a while (3-4 for the whole tour, let's say)... Would be great.

Who knows, we might get a couple. We got three songs from Download festival and three songs from Rock in Rio in 2013. Phantom, Fear and Trooper from Download and Trooper, Hills and Fear from Rio.

And Revelations, Aces and IM from Knebworth.
 
I'm sure highlights of Download are screened on Sky Arts every year, with luck the Maiden footage will end up more widely available.

Too expensive. I was able to pay half ticket on the premium (it's the area closer to the stage, since this division doesn't exist in US/Europe) and still it were R$ 347. The full ticket is up to more than R$ 630 now. This is half of my wage.

If it were any other band, I would go in the common floor (maybe not Metallica. Although I saw Sabbath right to the side of that metal structure and had a reasonable view of both bands)

It was amazing, no words to describe it. Literally, I lost my voice and could not talk on monday .. but it was worth it. There were several street that close around the stadium due to the amount of people that attended, the nearest market ran out of beers too :) ... They (Janick and Nicko) even took the time to visit the Cathedral where our Martyr lies - Monseñor Romero. Here is a FB picture. There is also another pic were Nicko wears Romero's T-shirt. These guys are incredible. Im so proud I could attend this show!

Another update for guitar nerds... Dave is back on the Sunburst and White strats. He ditched the Les paul, for at least Powerslave last night.

Damn. I want to see Dave on a Les Paul.

From what I saw he completely ditched the Les Paul Axcess and the 70's reissue black strat and now uses the White FR Classic strat from TRATB to DOG in the set and the Sunburst California Series strat for anything else (that guitar was used in previous shows for Trooper, TBOS, FOTD, Hallowed, IM and the encores, with the Black 70's strat used for first few songs).

Why Bruce is still wearing the mexican mask during Powerslave?

Powerslave talk about a pharaoh that doesn't want to die, he believes he is a god... he is crazy about the power and as far as I know Masks were use by some sore of high priests when they were doing rituals and to incarnate deities... so that could be one reason.. or probably he just likes it a lot.. jejeje :nana:
 
I don't think he had any mask on in the first show. Maybe he just picked it up in Mexico and decided to add it to the show.
 
Yes, he started using in the Mexico shows. I just wish he would bring back the powerslave mask... It may be silly, but I love that mask.
