Anybuddy else going to see them in the Midwest next month? Obviously other folk will be going to see them but was wondering if any other prunners are going?
Can't make Chicago - but am ticketed to fly into Toronto on October 16th and would most certainly delay my onward flight out of there if anybody else fancied a night at the concert in Canada.
I'll see them twice at Earls Court. I hope those shows won't be the end of the tour in support of the new album, as it deserves more shows (yes, it's that good).
They played 'A matter of life and death', in it's entirity, start to finish last in on the opening night of the tour! Can't wait for december 20th!
Absolutely cool! And finally dropped number of the beast and other regulars, it was about time!
The set is perfect, they may add just one classic short songs to give the non hardcore fans a little bonus but they shouldn't take out anything of the current set in my opinion!

I'll be seeing them twice in Milan.
Given the amount of material the band have it'd be impossible to keep everyone happy (I'd love to hear 'Run Silent Run Deep' done live!). but the setlist is excellent, I honestly can't wait to hear the new songs live, it's going to be fantastic.
Yeah, it's definitely one of the best Maiden setlists ever! It's really a great move to play the whole album back-to-back live! A Matter of Life And Death is one of their strongest records ever and I'm sure the new songs will sound phenomenal in concert! Can't wait to see them in Europe!
Jeez. Brings back memories of the last time I saw the boys:
Edinburgh Playhouse, October '86 - 'Somewhere in Time' tour - 'Row A' seating - both nights!
Still got a pair of Nicko's sticks and Steve's 'Ammers-coloured sweatbands somewhere.
Great times
God I feel old
Rooting around at home trying to locate aforementioned sticks/arm bands I discovered it was 20 years TO THE DAY since last seeing them that I posted on here - last seen 28th Oct 1986!

Reason: Add 'Spooky' info
In December, (23), I am taking my son and his best mate to see them at Earls Court London, I couldn't get anymore tickets and thought it would be selfish to deny one of them the opportunity.
I guess I'll have to sit outside and listen, whilst dribbling into my cup of coffee....

There might be some spare tickets at the Iron Maiden Bulletin Board. Perhaps you can get one there.
Apparently they're planning a 'Live After Death' tour for 2008, that'd be great! Can't ait til december 20th though, and from what I've heard this tour is great & AMOLAD sounds superb live

Surely it would be great. There are plans for some festivals in 2007, probably mixing the setlist a bit more, although the idea of playing the whole AMOLAD is factastic!

My guess for 2008 is that the set would comprise of Powerslave, S.I.T. & 7th son. Still that's a long way off yet & right now they're obviously pretty damn proud of the new material, and it's going to be great. The great thing is that the band aren't a nostalgia act & are definitely challenging themselves with the new album & tour. The reviews on the IM BB have been very positive & the clips I've seen on youtube have been great too.

Yeah, that might be the stuff they play in 2008. However, some people (Nicko himself) have been giving hints that the AMOLAD tour might be extended in 2007, doing some weeks of shows (some sources have told me that in late Spring-early Summer). Probably they would mix the setlist a bit for that leg of the tour, although I wouldn't mind if they kept on playing the same stuff they are doing on this leg.
I agree completely about the nostalgia part. Maiden rule!!!
Mr. Smallwallet has been dropping hints about European shows next year on his diary postings on the band's bulletin board. So there's potential for more Bruce Air happenings (I guess so anyway!)
Only a couple of weeks til the Dublin gig, and for this one I will be seated. I'm getting too old for downstairs. I'll bring a flask of tea as well
but was wondering if any other prunners are going?
