San Antonio: Giant Eddie Is Back !!!!

[Tap_Legion2]

Just got back from the show....Same setlist but the stage set has been greatly improved from the first leg.....and...drum roll...The Giant Eddie has made his return.

I got a bunch of shots from up front at the barricade and will post them in a few days.

The Texas shirt is a re-do of "The Beast Tames Texas" shirt from 1982.

I wonder why they wouldn't want to mix up the setlist a bit, just so they don't get bored with it. Having dozens of songs, yo'd think they would want to mix it up a bit.

Laziness is the keyword here,my friend!

 

[Acujer]

Don't think its lazy. I mean traveling the entire planet with Bruce flying their own jet that they custom painted. I don't think of Maiden as a lazy band. I wish they would add like 5 more songs to the setlist.

 

[E.O.G.]

Oh,come on...every band are like this.When they rehearsed their setlist for the tour,they don't wanna change it anymore.

Not true. Using them as an example, I have seen Metallica 13 times since 2003 and never seen the same setlist twice They're always adding surprise songs into their sets (Dyers Eve anyone??) and changing it up which keeps it fresh for band and fans alike.

I wish Maiden would be more inventive. This tour gave them a chance to really pull something special out of the hat but I think the only surprise song in the set was Moonchild. They have three guitarists now, why not bust out Flash Of The Blade or something!

Was the best show I have ever been too. Plus I caught a drum top of Nicko's signed by Nicko and Bruce.

 

[Herbrocks]

Great show! They had 2 Eddies, one ghost-like one behind the drums and a large walking Somewhere in Time one.
