This was my last Maiden concert, after 28 gigs in seven countries since 1992 I am done and happy about it. It was a great send off, even though I do think they overhyped the setlist beforehand. Still, you cannot go wrong with a set like this, and the opening five tracks alone had me headbanging (at 48 that's not recommended), air guitar playing (see previous comment) and jumping (ouch). Simon did a fair job replacing Nicko, he dragged a bit on some songs but others were perfectly fine, some of his own touches were good, others not so. It's always tough replacing a beloved member, no matter the reason, and I think he did a good job. There must have been some kind of monitor problems, as everyone lost their place for short periods during the show. Then again they don't play to a click, which I think gives the music air. It was very obvious when the screen animations at times did not quite follow the beat, lovely! It is a metal gig after all, not a Broadway production. People seem to forget that nowadays, expecting some kind of Disney production from even the smallest underground bands.
28 gigs, 33 years. I loved this band once, more than I could understand. Still do, I guess, but in a more "nice to see your old uncle again" sort of way. Judging by the amount of people in the audience not even having been born in 1992 when I started out I doubt anyone will miss me very much. It's nice to be able to choose yourself when the time has come, instead of understanding it after the fact. This made my night even more enjoyable, thinking back on all the gigs over the years. Happy days they were, and to the ones coming after me I wish you all the same joy I've had the pleasure of experiencing.
