Iron Maiden, Malahide Castle, June 25th 2025

[Pain Medicine]

Had fairly tepid expectations but it's looking great

[Carnage]

Aside from Fear Of The Dark that's a fantastic setlist, kinda wish I was going now.

Watched a stream on a fan forum..crude quality but jaysus that looked an incredible show up til the encore..I'll be exiting stage left for that to get out of malahide..no desire to hear them 3 songs again..rest of the show is incredible tho in fairness.. looking forward to it now big time

[londonleatherboy]

New drummer has given them the kick up the arse they long needed ..Bruce sounds top drawer as well

[jpm4]

Setlist is longer than the last tour - down to having the new drummer maybe?

[Pain Medicine]

Yeah they were definitely making concessions for Nicko on the last tour.

Encore is kinda of uninspiring but bulk of the main set is good enough for me

[Trev]

There'll always be songs I'd like to hear that are left out, but no real complaints with that set

[Pagan Saviour]

Is it just me or is that drumming very cumbersome?

[Bürggermeister]

I thought the same, he was playing them slower. Hopefully just first-day nerves

[Ducky]

He's got a funny way of hovering over a cymbal for a moment before hitting it.

Don't know if I can agree with that at all. Watching more clips here this guy looks awkward as fuck. Nicko had settled into a rut creatively and live stuff had declined for sure but not convinced this is the solution.

[Ducky]

Here he is in the 90s. Very different style to Maiden, but sounds tight.

[Naraka]

I wonder if they'll stick with the same setlist for the entire tour. There's a few songs there that I wouldn't mind seeing dropped for better replacements.

[Squigs]

Nah, you could set your watch to a Maiden tour setlist.

[jpm4]

They might drop a song if they are too knackered to keep playing a 17 song set.
