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

On this tour, Dave gave me impression like he is vacationing. Playing with his pals and having a few Heinekens along the way.

This is very unfair of you to say. Dave always gives 1000% for MAIDEN! also does he drink heinikens? Is that not a beer from finland?

1. He does give his best, but he seems to have a great time travelling, drinking and playing with his pals.
2. Heineken is from Netherlands.

his best is better than all the other guitar players in the band! heniken is possibly distilled in Finland then --Is that what I am thinking matic22?
 
Speaking of Dave, I think his playing was excellent this year. TThis year's reindition of solos on SOL, TBOS, DOG, Hallowed, Powerslave, FOTD and Blood Brothers was very enjoyable. The only solo that I don't think was better than previous tours is TNOB. I think his approach to that solo was too bluesy. I liked the more agressive versions of it.
 
If it was true that Maiden share solos, Dave would've given Janick that solo years ago.

@Collin and others interested, here is the re-upload of the mp3's of the Wacken show.

Part 1: http://www119.zippyshare.com/v/ciWvZuus/file.html
Part 2: http://www62.zippyshare.com/v/fCmVPpz3/file.html

Oh, if there's any issue to be had with the stream, it isn't the backing tracks during Powerslave. It's that Dave's guitar sounded a bit too low in the mix. It's not the end of the world and there will most likely be an official live release for this tour which will be mixed really good.

Thank You Travis!!! You are a legend! :notworthy:
 
Yes. Let's take a moment and reflect on how cool Travis is, and how much he has meant to this forum over the years! Freakin 100% serious dude. You rock!:cheers:.

I have no problems whatsoever with the sample vocals for Powerslave just as I have no problem with the pre-recorded laugh at the beginning of the song, or the pre-recorded opening voice to TNOB. I do, however, find it underwhelming when Maiden uses pre-recorded music during the start of a song. For example, Aces High in 2008 and Caught Somewhere In Time in 86-87. The openings to these songs are brilliant. A highlight of this tour was Bruce singing the opening to IESF which I was expecting to be pre-recorded.

Maybe a bad example with IESF, as it is the pre recorded intro from the actual album....including Bruce's vocals.

Bruce just sings additionally to the actual album track....which I was really surprised at. Surely they could have got an instrumental only mix?

I saw an interview on youtube somewhere where Bruce says so and laughs about it.

I do get your point though ;)
