Dear Puntini, whether you like it or not, the historical truth is exactly what LongLive described...

No, I don't think Scialpi is more handsome than you.

During the concert, Dickinson explained the reasons behind the setlist (namely, that it was chosen to simultaneously honor the great success of the latest album, playing 5 tracks, and the 25th anniversary of The Number of the Beast, playing 4 tracks). As for the duration, the Maiden have been cutting the second encore for years, reducing the whole performance to an hour and a half (which, by the way, is still done at a very high pace). Considering that they've been on tour since last October, with only a short break in January, and that they're not getting any younger, this seems more understandable to me. Regarding everything else I've read in the comments, I can't respond because it comes down to personal taste. Honestly, I think Slayer, as I've said before, played well but not at their usual great level (and I assure you I've seen them often in my 20 years of concert-going), and Iron Maiden, aside from a few vocal hiccups at the end, performed admirably. Bye!

Well... questions had been raised, and I tried to answer...

Maiden were fantastic as usual, Slayer were good but a bit underwhelming... tag - Articoli e post su tag trovati nei migliori blog

Indeed, it seemed to me that I had seen someone who looked very much like him, but unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to get closer. If you saw him too, could you confirm it was really him?
Anyway, regarding the sound issue, every now and then the microphone on the piano produced some strange reverberations (nothing too annoying, but it was noticeable). I was in the audience around the 7th row to the right of Tori, and there the problem was occasionally audible...

The drummer's name is MATT Chamberlain, of course, and not Richard... a slip from "Uccelli di Rovo".... Sorry....

To my friend Ilpanes: The drummer's name is Richard Chamberlain, and only Honey is a B-side, Siren is in the soundtrack of "Great Expectations" by Alfonso Cuaron, the unframed song halfway through the concert is an improvisation that in the Italian Forum is listed under the title "Dark Times". Hi dear!

P.S.: If it hadn't been for the NWOBHM (including the Maiden), we wouldn't even be talking about Metal now.
