Can't believe that Steve actually put it in the set after almost forty years. And they still have a lot of life in them; they aren't performing like this is a farewell tour.

I think it was played once, many decades ago.

[@RafaelAlt]

@@sturm893 It wasn't. The loneliness of the long distance runner was played at the very first gig from the Somewhere on tour, also in eastern Europe, then dropped. It floats around here on YT.

[@mladent1464]

I was there that night, but I'm also here after Nicko's press note. It's hard to believe this was his first public performance after suffering a stroke. Having him perform this well only four months or so after falling ill is unbelievable. Not a perfect performance by any means, but considering the circumstances, it's inspiring. Well done, Nicko.

[@puckoster]

it's probably easier to "judge" watching a youtube video, but i was there, i was there when they finally played the SIT material, when they played bangers from senjustu, when they played THE PRISONER and let me tell you, people went absolutely batshit crazy. nicko's drum sound was HEAVY as shit, it was one of the things that hit me the first and in the heat of the moment i literally missed everything he did "subpar". the way they played that first show was OUT OF THIS FUCKING WORLD. not inspiring. it was MAJESTIC. hearing stranger first time in my life and first time since 2000 something when they played it the last time was out of this world, CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN TIME WAS... idk, i cried through the whole song. nobody really cared about nicko's drumming or adrians solo fuckups or bruce forgettting a line or two. it was fucking MAJESTIC. all of those mistakes were honest mistakes a hard working band do. still miles better than any other 80''s band doing tours at the moment (okay, excluding metallica. metallica and maiden are the only ones doing it properly).

Awful setlist

47 years, 9 months, 25 days , 16 hours and 40 minutes to watch this. Can’t believe it. Alexander live.

[@astragalusson]

1:14:12 Fans around the world, let's learn this melody by heart to sing along with our "ooo"s during all concerts of this tour... We've waited this song to be played live for ages and now we have it. Let's help these performances become even more legendary with our little contribution.

[@RodrigoCosis]

I started listening to Maiden in 1986 at 8yo with Somewhere in Time. What a great pleasure to watch this in 2023! Awesome! Up The Irons! Forever!

[@DownMemoryLaneParis]

This set list is amongst the most fun and unusual in years. Absoluvely loved this show... I hope i can see them live this year.

[@diogomurray]

I had completely given up on getting to see this tour, since they're gonna only play in Sao Paulo, here in Brazil, and wheni had the money to buy the tickets, both shows were sold out. But, suddenly, this morning some tickets became available ate the website. I bought my ticket and now I'm ECSTATIC!!! UP THE IRONS!

[@robtatum1046]

Nicko is 70 and still a beast

[@lorenmorgan1931]

Man its nuts that he can still sing Wasted Years chorus in full head voice. But even more nuts is that Nicko can still keep up at 70 for a two hour show. Most metal drummers bodies are wrecked by early 60s and this dude just keeps going. Killer stuff.

[@douglasstephens6693]

The bass/guitar melodies that Steve wrote for Hell On Earth are so friggin' beautiful, they're like another voice in the song, adding layers of melancholy and longing to the lyrics. Maiden forever. UP THE IRONS!!

Love how they brought out Eddie during "Stranger in a Strange Land", which in and of itself is a killer song. Great upload, so glad you shot the whole show and put it up for all of us to enjoy.

Cada vez que veo un concierto de esta Maravillosa Banda de Heavy Metal, siento un nudo en la garganta que me enmudece y me toca las fibras; lo que mas me impacta es la euforia colectiva del publico seguidor; cada uno los integrantes de la banda transmite una energía tan especial que quedo cautivado y me transporta a otra dimensión, La sensación es Fascinante.

[@Valaran1]

I still can't believe they are playing my favorite obscure song, The Prisoner live. It was clearly a crowd favorite which fills me with joy. But it's rarely included in their live set. And Can I Play With Madness is just the icing on the cake.
