They absolutely floored me last night in Belgrade. Not only was it my first big concert since the start of the pandemic, but it was in my hometown, my 10th Maiden gig overall and my first experience being in the first row right in front of the stage. As expected and as announced, most songs from the previous leg were still in the set, but I was so happy to see three Senjutsu songs. Also, Blood brothers was a nice surprise. Not to mention Sign of the cross is my all time favorite song.
The performance was amazing. Bruce sounds like he's 30 years old and the guitarists knocked it out of the park. People are complaining about Nicko slowing things down, though. Honestly, I can't bring myself to complaining about anything. I am happy that we get to see any shows at all. I am happy that all band members survived two years of covid. I do not take any of it for granted.
