IRON MAIDEN CONCERT REVIEW: BACKSTAGE With BRUCE DICKINSON & NICKO McBRAIN! | FUTURE PAST TOUR 2024

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

How would you grade the Future Past Tour? Let me know below!

[@GraveyardGrog]

It was damn cool. I loved how we were lucky to have him where the jacket. I even checked some other shows and sure enough, nowhere else had him sporting the jacket.

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

@ That was awesome. Bruce said he brought it back for one night only. Wild that it was the NJ show

[@GraveyardGrog]

@@TheCDGuyJZ And to think I almost turned down going to the show! Glad I went. lol

[@user-zq5eb2hj9o]

That’s awesome! You got to go backstage! That sounds like an amazing experience. 🤘 I also went to the Barclays show as well as last night’s in Newark. Amazing shows!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

So cool that you were at both shows! The band have really hit their stride again and sound great!

[@user-zq5eb2hj9o]

It was incredible. I didn’t start seeing them live till 2003 and they were amazing then and still are. I am not one of those people that says “gee I wish I could’ve seen them in the 80’s”. I don’t buy into that and I don’t care because this is still Maiden and still true greatness 🤘

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

All of the post reunion tours have been awesome. I definitely wish I could’ve seen them back in the 80s, but one could argue they’ve never left their prime.

[@RobertEleuteri-fj8fp]

Saw Future Past in Leeds, Manchester, San Diego, LA, & Philly, and loved them all. Nicko is a warrior! 🤘🏼 SIT & Senjutsu are among my favorite albums, and Alexander was amazing! Have a ticket for Madrid in 2025. So cool you met them-I would love to be able to someday. 🙏

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Awesome that you were able to see them so many times this tour. Nicko really is one of the toughest guys in Metal for powering through this tour. Have a great time in Madrid! 🤘

[@shawnlove2004]

Saw them Friday night in Pittsburgh with a group of friends. They never disappoint!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Glad you enjoyed the show! The Pittsburg gig looked like an awesome night!

[@javierramallo603]

Saw them 7 times, every show of the Australian tour this year, I also won twice First to the Barrier. Iron Maiden is my religion, I loved every single show... UP the Irons!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

That’s so cool! I’m jealous 😂🤘 Glad you had a great time. Up The Irons!

[@joshd3192]

Saw them in Philly. Total banger.

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

I wanted to go to the Philly show too… looked like a great time!

[@ItIsJustDucky]

They were absolutely wild in Worcester, Massachusetts. Awesome show, electric energy, lights, fog, great crowd, fantastic band .

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

This tour has had everything! The band have been firing on all cylinders. Glad you had a great time at the Massachusetts show! 🤘

[@themindseyecmh]

Awesome stuff! Glad you had a great night!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Oh man it was a blast! Glad I could share it with everyone 🤘

[@barrygerenski6259]

You guys are so lucky to see this shame they didn’t do a FL date😢😢

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Oh man that sucks! Hopefully they play Florida on the Run For Your Lives Tour 🤞

[@jeffreykoger3978]

Very happy for you! I have tickets for Charlotte, NC on Wednesday. My first Maiden show was Somehere on Tour in 1987. Expecting Bruce solo U.S. dates to be announced soon after this tour ends. I saw him in Glasgow and Manchester back in May, and he was sensational! Cheers!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Have a great time on Wednesday! Beyond cool that you saw the SiT tour in all its glory. Hoping for some Bruce solos shows next year… I really want to hear The Mandrake Project live. Cheers! 🤘

[@JohnGillick-y7i]

Great show!! Best Maiden show I saw since Powerslave!!!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Wow that’s high praise! Glad you had a great time! 🤘

[@iRemol]

Amazing set! I saw them 8 times on this tour and I think that Brooklyn was one of the best! Of course Ljubljana was something else...

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

8 times?! I’m jealous! They were on fire for the Brooklyn show!

[@jakesully5402]

I saw them in Toronto a couple weeks ago. It was an incredible concert !!! Bucket list item for me to FINALLY see Iron Maiden live. I’ve wanted to see them live since Somewhere in Time, but I never lived near a city that was hosting them. Decided this time to fly up. Well worth the wait. UP THE IRONS !!!🎉🎉❤

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Glad you finally got to see them! I saw some clips from the Toronto gig… looked like a great show! 🤘

[@Cojowaaagh]

Hey CD guy! I was at both the same shows you were. Awesome shows, awesome set list. My favorite from the list definitely The Prisoner! We want Information! Comparing the two shows I thought the sound was better at Barclays, felt something was off right away at Pru when Doctor Doctor started, seemed way too loud. I was in section 18 (oppo your view from the Video) And could see Bruce really getting heated with one of the guys back stage near the end of the set. Would be interesting to know what was going on and or your take.

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

So cool you were able to go to both shows. I agree, the sound was better in Brooklyn. Initially I didn’t love the acoustics at The Barclays Center when The Hu were playing, but Maiden sounded incredible. I’m not sure what was going on with Bruce and the sound guy in Newark, but I noticed his mic going in and out during parts of Alexander The Great and Hell On Earth.

[@jasongnrfan7374]

Amazing id love to meet Nicko ive met Bruce, Blaze and recently before his passing Paul😢. I cant wait to see them next year

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

So cool that you’ve met all three singers! I met Bruce once before at a book signing but this was a much better experience.

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

So cool you were able to see Iron Maiden live,,,always regretted not getting to see them live. Glad you had a great time Rock on bro🤘🤘🤘🇺🇸

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

There’s still time to see them live! It’s always a blast for sure.

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

@TheCDGuyJZ I'm afraid my concert days are behind me. I'm disabled and hard to get around but I've seen my fare share of concerts my first was in 1975 a country concert my dad took me to see ( CW McCall ) and my last was in 2004 ( KISS )with my best friend , I can't think of a better concert to end with lol.

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

@@kerrydavidsadler980 The span of 1975-2004 had to be a great time for touring bands in their prime. Must’ve been some great shows! That 2004 KISS show sounds really cool!

[@kerrydavidsadler980]

@@TheCDGuyJZ I have seen so many great bands, ( Ozzy, KISS, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Cinderella, David Lee Roth, Dokken, Peter Frampton, Sound Garden, Alice in Chains, Skid row, Foreigner, Bad company, Def Leppard, W.A S P, and many many more 🤘🤘🤘🇺🇸

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

@@kerrydavidsadler980 Incredible! You weren’t kidding when you said you’ve seen your fair share of shows lol

[@JJ-pi2eq]

A+ saw them in Ut. Greatest hits, indeed. Prisoner & Alexander were my highlights. These guys are the definition of RockStars & you will not see a better show. Adrian & Dave Rule🤘 and the whole band are jst tight, precise, and do it right. Up the frickin Irons!

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Agreed there is no better show out there. The Prisoner should never leave the setlist again IMO… huge crowd pleaser. Loved finally hearing Alexander live. The band sounded super tough for sure. Glad you had a great time at the show!

[@JJ-pi2eq]

@@TheCDGuyJZ likewise Bro👈

[@JJ-pi2eq]

And Prisoner, another fav. They really did play all the best fron their past & future. Great tour. Hope they come back again

[@JJ-pi2eq]

ThnxBro

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

@@JJ-pi2eq They’ll hopefully be back in the states in 2026 for the Run For Your Lives tour… can’t wait for that! Until then, we wait lol

[@legoaxel8695]

I wish I was at this tour but saddly it just came to Sweden Rock here in sweden and not Gothenburg. But well I am going to see them in Stockholm this summer during Run for your lives tour.

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Bummer about this tour, but have a great time next year in Stockholm!

[@officialwillieg2001]

Great video 👍👍

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Thanks brother!

[@augustgeary5538]

Ranked the Barclays show at #11 on my concert rankings list. Amazing show and an awesome crowd. They truly found a way to seamlessly incorporate the new material which I now have a greater appreciation for inti a setlist with other classics. Can’t wait to see them again in Budapest in 6 months

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Have a great time seeing them in Budapest! The Brooklyn show was probably the hottest Maiden crowd I’ve seen in the 6 times I’ve seen them live. Great atmosphere.

[@augustgeary5538]

@ 6 times wow I’m jealous. That was my first (somehow) so trying to make up for lost time. Yeah that crowd was crazy, wasn’t expecting two pits. And they loved the new songs too which was so refreshing to see, especially with American crowds

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

@augustgeary5538 I’m not one for mosh pits, but I noticed a ton of young people on the floor moshing… maybe there is hope for Metal as an arena act 10-15 years from now.

[@augustgeary5538]

@ me neither, went in one at symphony x for the experience tho. It’s great to see people still loving it and going out to see metal acts. Was a glad they sold out

[@samagoat]

Just saw them when they were in AZ, great show

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Glad you enjoyed the Arizona show! Great stuff for sure!

[@takodabostwick8507]

Hope you got met up with Pete Padro from Sea of Tranquility. I heard that he was there at the show as well. I'd like to see you be a part of Hudson Valley Squares sometime soon. Great KZbinr with music knowledge

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Much appreciated! 🙏 Funny you mention that… I bumped into Pete briefly at the bar and grill across from the arena. I introduced myself and told him about my channel. He wished me luck on my channel and that was it. I’d love to be a guest on his show one day. The best way to get me on his channel would be for people to keep recommending my content to him I guess.

[@takodabostwick8507]

@TheCDGuyJZ that's awesome 😎 I hope you get get a spot on Pete's show! That'll be awesome!

[@jaydoubleu3419]

Very cool and lucky to meet the backbone of iron maiden

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

I got very lucky for sure. Definitely the backbone of the band.

[@georgearnold8573]

Will there be a new live album 🤔

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

I should’ve asked. I can’t imagine there won’t be tho

[@georgearnold8573]

@@TheCDGuyJZ cool

[@jjaramos]

My guess is they will release a bunch of live material from all eras after they retire.

[@gregsten3700]

thats awesome how much was backstage tickets ..how u get them ...awesome u got them to sign cd and pics with them ....be cooler if rest band signed it too but very cool

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

I don’t think they sell backstage tickets… I was fortunate enough to do media for the show through the channel. I wish I could’ve gotten the whole band to sign Seventh Son, but I’m certainly not complaining lol

[@jordantasevski2993]

do you think the tour poster for Sabaton's The Legendary Tour could be a hint at a new record?

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Totally. Some of the people I recognized on the poster are Hannibal, Caesar, Vlad The Impaler and Alexander The Great. I could see them making an album similar to Heroes but instead about legends of combat.

[@justin-w8x]

looks like AC/DC will announce North American tour this week

[@TheCDGuyJZ]

Yes! Waiting on the official announcement to make a video. Hopefully in the next few days. I’ve waited nearly a decade to see them live again. Fingers crossed!

[@justin-w8x]

@@TheCDGuyJZ they must have a opening band or 2 as well
