Just curious are you at the concert or do you know someone there?

[Nekov]

So, let's say that was the set list for night 1 in Argentina, what are they missing for night 2? I'm overly excited right now

I know someone that was there 

IIRC James said that the setlist was going to be the same every night in this tour, except for the shows in Buenos Aires.

Nekov: Are you going?

I am jealous.

[wasteland]

Drum Solo. You can listen, but do not hope to see Mike Mangini...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0hDiTOd15c

[Cool Chris]

Bah, why is TDEN still being played. Go away.

Otherwise, yikes, cool set.

[Mladen]

I wish they would switch War inside my head and Test with Through my words and Fatal tragedy for the DVD. And maybe play something instead The Spirit caries on, they did it on Score as well.

The rest of the set looks great, quite a long concert. 

EDIT: Had the wrong emoticon... 

[TAC]

Have you seen TDEN live yet? It is a beast!

I think it was JP who said that they will be playing for 2:30-2:45 hours and that there will be no opening act for the SA tour so this leg of the tour is pretty much an Evening With.

Yeah, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it!

It was one of the funnest songs they played when I saw them live a few years ago. Everyone got into it. I'd have absolutely no problem with it appearing on the upcoming DVD.

[bosk1]

The video footage they use for it now is also very fitting and makes it fun.  Perfect combination of dark yet campy that suits the music to a tee.

Yea, very much this.

I saw TDEN (I think the song is meh) live in Los Angeles, and it blew me away. Amazing live song.

I bet it is. It coming across great live is why I thought it would've been a perfect closer for the maiden tour.

It would've been perfect for the Maiden tour.

Metropolis! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbnLWL66q0Q

[bosk1]

Good sound, but the video is unwatchable.  I think I have motion sickness from just the first minute or so.

I didn't even try watching it    I mostly seek youtube videos to check James's vocal shape through the tour... which brings me to the point: I believe this performancs (vocally wise) is at least on par with Score, if not superior.

[bosk1]

Yeah, he sounds pretty good here!  And I like the extended ending they did as well.

I love extended endings, especially in Metropolis! I would even add a little band jam before the last verse (à la 2006).
As for James, it's quite surprising to see such a strong performance so early in the leg. He usually needs about 2-3 shows to get into the groove and perform at his best. I hope he doesn't throw out his voice before the DVD shooting...

[kevinpwrs]

Looks like some of the lights are missing from when we saw them July 12 and 13. Maybe they didnt have time to set up the full stage because of the equipment being held up. Mangini is using the kit with the black only Pearl heads on the bass drums. Cant see them doing that on the nights of the dvd shoot.

[Implode]

Wow! James sounds amazing here!
