Iron Maiden using Keyboards + backing tracks on Powerslave...... on this tour?
Even Aces High..... why not just play the song? whats with playing the intro!
Why do we have to endure the spoke word parts of both Rime & 7th son live in this day n age.. on a forum maiden nerds were saying they've EXTENDED that part on 7th son :laugh: ...jaysus everyone has heard it...cut short them parts and stick in a few short numbers in that time saved
I don't know what to make of it. Live after death is epic..... are keyboards the answer to improving those songs 40 years later?
Just watching the recent Budapest show on YouTube here, that stage show is jaw dropping.
They've been using keyboards live since 1986.

Yeah, Michael Kenney, was their keyboard player since the 80s til he retired a couple of years ago.
I'm just disappointed we didn't get any deeper cuts. They said on this tour "we're going to play things we've never played before" but this is def a greatest hits/casual fan setlist. Was hoping for some Only the good Die Young/Judas be my guide/Be Quick or be dead/Deja Vu
They had a keys player offstage for years
