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

Bruce sounded amazing. His microphone fuckery with H during Wasted Years was wonderful.

 

[Lego]

Super show. One of Bruce's best performances overall I think.

Nicko was on point as well- very groovy, locked in- overall they're performing much better these days than the past few years IMO.

 

[Brigantium]

What a gig.... and cool they get to Germany next year. Hope you'll get to see them Per and Ar!

I believe they're playing quite a few places on the continent, as well as the 11 UK shows.

Bruce also thanked the Mayans! Hilarious!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

It's been a wonderful Maiden season, everybody! Hard to believe that we've been riding The Book of Souls train for nearly a year already. Hope the boys have some great time off and here's to more shows and music in 2017!

And best of all - NO MORE SPOILERS!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

MVP of the season: Bruce?

Not necessarily... what about people waiting to see them next year?

Maybe its the beer but I know Im not the only one feeling the childish Christmas-esque buzz right now. What a band, what a show. With this band, we chose wisely, my friends.

Missed Adrian running, thank fuck for youtube.

The only faulty play was perhaps during the intro in Fear of the Dark. On hi-hat. He either went too fast during the first half or so, either the band (Steve) was too slow. Steve was slower and probably tried Nicko to get in that same tempo as well. Minor thing, for the rest so good everything.

Did you guys hear the end of Powerslave? Janick had so nice Arabic patterns and then made some coosounds.

Dave did some really cool new things in his solos. In The Trooper but that divebomb in Fear of the Dark was awesome

Love H's Steve Vai trick of changing the pickups while dive-bombing.

Not sure if that went well.. Sounded odd (or faulty). It looked cool though!

It looked very odd. As if he couldn't do it well, with guitar. Or it was just having some fun, doing it weird on purpose.

 

[THESEVENTHMARINER]

Fuck, I fucking love this band.

 

[Forostar]

Was that lead work by Janick fast enough for you @Forostar?

Sure fast.

I have never thought of the backing vocals in Powerslave during the chorus when it was performed live before watching this. They sound pre-recorded.

I think they made some sound/sample out of the original and now Kenney can probably play it along, live.

 

[Brigantium]

Who knows!

Lots of people know.

Yeah, I thought keyboard samples too. There was already keyboard in Powerslave live, I like what they've added to it

 

[Shavasku]

What an amazing tour! I hope to see them in Brazil next year again, but I am pretty sure they will do a short european tour only. Enjoy, guys!

 

[Forostar]

I still prefer the backing vocals from H and Eddie Casillas in the Bruce band. Maiden's Eddie can't do that.

 

[matic22]

Thank you Iron Maiden for another amazing year. Hoping to go to London gig next year.

 

[Naty]

What a performance! They truly are the best! No words to describe Bruce's singing tonight.... I just hope to see them soon again.

We'll count that as a whole new tour. Stand by for announcements and future spoiler policy.
