Nah, I hear you, but they end up being great souveniers. Honestly, it didn't detract in any way from the shows. I didn't miss any nuances, if anything, the pics allowed me to preserve them...like this one:

You pulled that pic out on purpose!

I hate when my wife wants me to bring the camera to the Pats games and I feel the same about concerts. I just want to get immersed when I'm at a show.

I'm the same way. When I saw Alice In Chains I recorded the set list as they played it on my phone in a note, and the ten seconds it took me during each song made me slightly regret it. Nothing major, but it just interrupted me enough to where I felt like I missed some of the show (which I obviously did, it just felt like more).

Standard Maiden setlist just with new tracks. Good to see the Talisman getting a look in. I thought they would have played Starblind though.

Jirpo · « **Reply #2420 on:** February 11, 2011, 09:27:38 PM »

Yay! Good setlist for my first maiden show in just under a month

Awesome footage of a lot of the Moscow show: https://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=153814

Starblind and TMWBK would be sweet. Good setlist. I wish they'd just get rid of the stock standard 'classic' tracks.

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #2423 on:** February 12, 2011, 12:28:56 AM »

That's a fantastic setlist.

I would probably think the same way, but I've never seen them so I want to see some classics! They could easily mix it up though. Like throw in Aces High, Brave New World, Powerslave, Rime, Phantom of the Opera, Flight of Icarus, Revelations... Maiden have enough classics for several different setlists

I've only seen them once, on the 2nd leg SBIT tour. I was pretty dang lucky! Phantom, Rime, Children of the Damned... very cool!

Jirpo · « **Reply #2426 on:** February 12, 2011, 03:57:32 AM »

Woah, that would have been awesome! I would love to see those three songs live.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #2427 on:** February 12, 2011, 03:59:31 AM »

Yeah it was awesome. Only bummer is that those songs knocked Revelations, Moonchild and The Clairvoyant off the setlist. Which are also three of the greatest Maiden songs ever. Beggars can't be choosers though; it was the first time Maiden had been here in 16 years or something crazy like that.

Mladen · « **Reply #2428 on:** February 12, 2011, 11:01:21 AM »

It's a fine setlist, although it could have been better. No surprises, they're playing it rather safe. The encore is the same as last year, which is kinda dull. Their choices from The Final Frontier are good, but I could use one more song, like The Alchemist, or maybe The Man who would be king.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2429 on:** February 12, 2011, 11:06:49 AM »

Pretty good setlist. Only weak spots are Blood Brothers, Final Frontier, and Where the Wild Wind Blows. Good to see a mix between classic and new stuff with the rest of the setlist. If they replaced Final Frontier with Aces High, Where the Wild Wind Blows with Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg (or Brighter Than A Thousand Suns), and Blood Brothers with...something else (maybe Stranger in a Strange Land? OOooooooooh) it would be very close to perfect, except Powerslave wouldn't be on it.

...except BB is an awesome song.

lolwut?

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2432 on:** February 12, 2011, 06:21:27 PM »

I mean it starts off all right and then kinda drags the rest of the way IMO.

glaurung · « **Reply #2433 on:** February 12, 2011, 09:05:30 PM »

If by drags you mean it gets even better than I agree.

A friend of mine just sent me a message about that. My first thought was, "The Grammys were tonight?".

Birch Boy · « **Reply #2438 on:** February 13, 2011, 10:57:36 PM »

They deserved it. They beat Slayer and Megadeth who also had awesome songs nominated.

zxlkho · « **Reply #2439 on:** February 13, 2011, 11:01:01 PM »

Megadeth should have won.

Birch Boy · « **Reply #2440 on:** February 13, 2011, 11:05:31 PM »

"El Dorado" > "Sudden Death" > "World Painted Blood"

No problem

That's awesome, even though El Dorado is one of my least favourites off the album. Maiden should have won a lot more then they have

Pretty much eh; El Dorado is one Maiden song I could do without, no problem.

wolfking · « **Reply #2443 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:54:09 AM »

I can't stomach El Dorado to be honest, and this is coming from a guy that The X Factor is his fav album and Fear of the Dark is in his top 5. I just can't stand it, rubbish song.

Zydar · « **Reply #2444 on:** February 14, 2011, 03:55:10 AM »

Yeah it not among the highlights for me either on the album.

TAC · « **Reply #2445 on:** February 14, 2011, 05:23:44 AM »

I think it's easily the worst song on TFF. But I don't think it's the nearly the worst "worst song on the album" that they have.

It just goes to speak to how f##king awesome this album is.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2446 on:** February 14, 2011, 05:55:43 AM »

El Dorado is a great song and there are quite a few songs I'd put below it. At least they didn't win a grammy for a really bad song just because it was about time for them to win one or something.

zerogravityfat · « **Reply #2447 on:** February 14, 2011, 06:16:13 AM »

april 17th on in usa is blank, i assume it will be filled with a US tour right?

Mladen · « **Reply #2448 on:** February 14, 2011, 06:36:53 AM »

It's a good song overall. A fanboy in me is really happy.

Jirpo · « **Reply #2449 on:** February 14, 2011, 09:24:30 AM »

I don't hate El Dorado, but its definitely bottom 3 from TFF for me. I quite like the intro, and the chorus isn't too bad IMO, but the verses seem a bit uninspired. Still, goes to show how good the recent album is.
