-Jaro- Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Clansman is one of my favorite live and studio songs (love Zwijsen/Blaze acoustic version too) and I'm looking forward to hear it live: And Bruce is in great vocal and physical shape it seems... Icarus is also one of my favories from 80s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 First night in Helsinki was great, second night was a bit loose, but fun. Crowd was...not so great for Scandinavia on either night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashisGOD Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Watched some videos on Youtube. Bruce sounds incredible and the band is fired up. Terribly bummed I can't see them yet. Is there any chance someone could buy me a few shirts from one of the shows? Event shirt, tour shirts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Event shirt, tour shirts, etc. The event and tour shirts are actually going to be available online starting this year. I’d offer to help you out, but my next trip is 36 days, so I’ll have my luggage packed to the brim Stockholm was excellent as expected. Sweden is my favorite country to see Maiden in, and the crowd delivered. The band was on fire also. My second favorite so far after Tallinn. Trondheim was my 100th Maiden gig, but unfortunately it was a bit shit. The venue was laid out terribly (It was a festival), so they didn’t really have the space for the crowd. Everyone was super tall, and with how packed in it was, I couldn’t see anything the whole gig. The crowd was obnoxiously drunk too - I had people like tugging on my hair and clothes and shit with no good reason, and they’d get shitty with me if I gave them a hard time about it. Add on the wind and rain, and the fact that it was the coldest outdoor gig I’ve ever been to, it was just a really forgettable one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Last night was supposed to be my last gig on this trip, but I was so sick I had to swap my ticket for a seated ticket, and even then I left halfway through the gig. Really bummed out about ending a trip on this note, looking at skipping my flight and coming home Friday instead so I can do Sweden Rock.

Agreed, wish Paschendale was brought back, but other than that every song in there is outright amazing and deserving of the setlist. I hope they don't change the set too much when they bring it to NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't change the set too much when they bring it to NA. Maiden has a precedent that, when a song gets the axe during rehearsals, or in the middle of a tour (Not between legs of a tour, but between two gigs in the middle of a tour), they never bring it back again. Paschendale got the axe in 2010 - for the first ten shows of the tour they alternated night between that and Dance Of Death, but Paschendale wasn't gelling well so they dropped it and just stuck with Dance Of Death. So unfortunately, it will probably never be played again Other songs that fall into this category are Charlotte The Harlot, Caught Somewhere In Time, The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner, Stranger In A Strange Land, Infinite Dreams, Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger, Comos Estais Amigos, Paschendale, and Brighter Than A Thousand Suns. There might be one or two others I'm forgetting, but I think that's it. As for hoping that not much changes when the tour comes over here - I don't think anything will change. The stage show is too intricately tied to the setlist - it's a lot more than just backdrops since there's a lot more props, specific outfits for Bruce, the stage changes, etc. The only songs I can really see even possibly changing are 2 Minutes To Midnight, The Wicker Man, and Run To The Hills. There's nothing special about how any of those are staged this tour, and especially The Wicker Man seems like an awkward fit in the religion part of the show ( I mean, it technically is a religiously-motivated song, but not the way Revelations or Sign Of The Cross is). Plus I never liked it mid-set anyways. This tour is the first time I've seen them close with Run To The Hills and I quite like it as a closer actually - I'm tempted to say it's my favorite I've seen to date.

The Dissident Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Yea I know they have that weird policy, although of that list of songs I only would like 3-4 of them to come back. Yea 2M2M and Wickerman I'd be totally fine seeing dropped. Would much rather Wasted Years and Powerslave although i doubt either would be added.

moreblack Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 If the props and stages are set, it would take a big decision to change the setlist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Back on tour now. Zurich was great, and my first time on the barrier this tour. Really amazing how many small details you might miss when you’re not up front this time. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I ended up skipping the Lisbon gig. We had a few really shitty situations that day and we just didn’t feel in the mood for the gig - we left after the first support band. Especially gutted as I’d never seen them in Portugal yet. Madrid last night was fucking incredible. It was in the Metropolitano Stadium, so by far the biggest gig of the tour, and one of the largest stadiums Maiden has ever played. Truly incredible crowd, and the band was really on point. Madrid got an event shirt too, I’ll post a picture when I can. Skipping Trieste to relax in Barcelona and Andorra for a few days, I’m back at it in Athens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 They were incredible in Manchester, one of the best shows I have ever been to in my life. The Clansman was the main highlight for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is "classic" - but with few rarities in setlist - 2 Blaze era songs, return of Flight of Icarus and Where Eagles Dare after loooong time, For the Greater Good of God wasn t played often in the past... Game based are - stage sets - mimics of game fight srenas, and theme sections of the show - war, religion, beast/hell themes change trough show... And the band was in great form.
