I've heard really good things about this tour. The nearest show to me is on Friday but I'm skipping it. Glad to see other ilxors going, though.

I've seen Maiden a few times now, the first time in 2016, and this tour was my favorite from a production standpoint. Nothing radically different, just really well-done.

really wanted to go this year, but if I recall correctly it was on Yom Kippur.

Chicago show was a blast. Still kinda parsing Bruce's take/speech from stage on Covid. But that aside, a fine stellar performance from all. Dave's guitar solos sounded particularly great.

everything about this show was amazing. I took my friend, who'd never seen them, and she was blown away, like, just kept thanking me for the experience. Bruce was in better vocal health than last time I saw them. also LOVED the Senjutsu sets, Senjutsu Eddie, and fuck, the songs themselves.

I was heavily tempted by these in the post office earlier but managed to resist

I want a Maiden theme park

I hate all theme parks, but I would 100% travel across the continent to visit that.

here's one that you guys can probly help me out with: I have S/T through Powerslave, and I think I know all the major songs after '84, "fear of the Dark" "Bring yr Daughter," "wasted years" etc… but a while ago, it occurred to me that I don't know if they have their own "Sad but True" or two, like a really stomping, elephantine cut to stand up next to 70s Sabbath… they seem to be not exactly patient enuff, like they want to get to the fast part NOW…

Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but "stomping" and "elephantine" made me think of "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" from '06.

"Revelation" is pretty heavy, and "The Clansman" (from the Blaze Bayley era, though they made Dickinson sing it when I saw them in 2003) is a slower epic.

They did "Clansman" last year as well so it's become a bit of a staple I think.
