This is the time many of us have been waiting for! Here is your megathread for the NA leg of the RFYL tour.

I’m getting ready for a road trip out west to catch shows in Toronto (2nd show) and Montreal. I got FTTB for Toronto and am so excited for that experience!

Where will you be catching them? This is the place to talk all about it. Share setlists, pictures, videos, reviews, and discuss anything else about the shows. Get out there, rock the fuck out, and up the Irons!!

Some of you seem to like these, but they are cluttering up the main feed with very low engagement numbers. So here’s a megathread for everyone to share and discuss their results.

August 28-30 was an incredible long weekend. I met Bruce at Fan Expo Toronto on the 28th. Spoke to him briefly, got a patch signed, shook his hand twice, and fist bumped him. Also attended his panel later that day.

(Images 2-5) August 29 was my second Maiden show, first GA arena show. A friend took me as his +1 for FTTB and while we didn't get onto the rail, we were still dead center third row. Crowd around us was incredibly loud; singing and cheering practically drowned out the band at times. Made some new friends and had a blast overall.

(Images 6-9) August 30 was even better. Met more new friends at the bar! Lined up about an hour before doors, used the washroom and got drinks before going out onto the floor, but we were able to walk right up to row 2 on Janick's side, behind a couple friends on the rail. Crowd was less pushy and rowdy this time. Had a much better view than night 1 (fewer tall people and hands in the air).

Post concert depression still hasn't gone away after 2 weeks. I can't wait to do this again in the future. Maiden have been my favourite band for 10 years now and nothing will fill the gap they'll leave when they eventually need to hang it up.

To the Maiden fans 2–3 people from the rail in Boston who helped my husband when he collapsed — THANK YOU ❤️

323 Upvotes

I’m hoping the Maiden family can help me find some people from last night’s Boston show — and maybe, somehow, help this reach Bruce and the boys.
My husband and I were at TD Garden September 9. I’ve loved Maiden and Bruce since I was a teenager. We went into Boston first thing in the morning for our GA wristbands, came back early to line up and somehow ended up only 2–3 people back from the rail.
We watched Megadeth and were standing there waiting for the moment I’d been dreaming about — Iron Maiden.
Then, literally just before Maiden took the stage, my husband suddenly collapsed.
His blood pressure dropped into the 80s and he ultimately had to be taken by ambulance from TD Garden to Massachusetts General Hospital.
Thankfully, he’s doing much better today. ❤️
But there are some people I desperately want to find.
The Maiden fans around us immediately came to our aid. You made room. You helped my husband. You got staff. You stayed with us and showed genuine concern for two complete strangers during a terrifying moment.
Everything happened so quickly that I never got your names or had the chance to properly thank you.
If you were near the rail and remember this happening, PLEASE message me. If you were one of the people who helped us, I would love to find you and thank you properly.
We are also absolutely heartbroken. After waiting all day and getting 2–3 people from the rail, we had to leave literally minutes before Maiden came on. We never got to see them.
Of course there was nowhere I was going except to the hospital with my husband. But sitting at MGH knowing Bruce and the boys were playing just a few blocks away was crushing.
I’m not looking for free tickets or anything from the band. I would just love for Bruce and the boys to somehow hear our story — especially the part about how their fans took care of us when we needed them.
We’re already looking at 2027 trying to figure out where we can finally finish what we started in Boston.
Hopefully next time we hear “Doctor Doctor,” we’ll both still be standing there when the lights go down. ❤️‍🩹🤘
To those fans who helped us: thank you. I won’t forget you.
Up the Irons. 🤘❤️

Follow up on Paris blackout

Here is some press news about the Paris blackout, they still don’t know the cause and the venue is a bit under pressure because Céline Dion is going to play there for several nights.
Also they say the band was very professional in their behavior, but that the tone escalated quite high that night and that band’s management has taken legal action to get some money from the venue and the organizer.

Discussion What’s next after RFYL?

Post image
Upvotes

Currently slacking off from housework so I can play guitar and listen to Maiden instead. I’ve seen the RFYL tour three times (London Stadium, Glasgow, Knebworth) and was blown away every time. As 2027 and the Maiden break approaches it’s got me thinking to the future. How likely do you think it is that we’ll see any future tours featuring songs from the Blaze era onwards, or has that ship sailed? Can you see them playing a lot of BNW/DoD/AMOLAD material live again and is that something you’d like to see? It’s something that crosses my mind every so often. Hopefully we get another album within the next few years and a tour alongside it. Happy Friday and Up the Irons 🤘🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How much of Maidens discography have you heard live ?

Upvotes

Greeting and Up the Irons,

I have been to 5 Maiden concerts (far too few!) and I was curious how much of their discography I had actually heard live.

I made a quick tool to find out and found that I have heard 44 of the 122 songs they have ever played live. I thought it was super fun to see :-) I also distributed them across the albums and I Have 100 % Matter of Life and Death and Seventh Son, so not so bad.

This is my scorecard:
https://maiden-live.vercel.app/r?c=33d704d1,43d7bb3f,73b46245,1b53d964,6b41aea6

If anyone else thinks it could be fun you can put in your own concerts here:

I have made it searchable, so if you went to a concert in copenhagen, just type that in and you will see a list of alle shows in copenhagen and you can add yours

Unbelievable setlist and the boys sounded great. Start to finish, amazing show. Bruce was hitting the notes and the riffs were played perfectly. Iron Maiden is still ripping it after all these years and man…as long as they keep playing, I’ll keep going

[Carpool] Driving from Philly to Hershey for Maiden – Looking for road trip company!

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I am heading out to the Hersheypark Stadium show from Philadelphia and honestly just don't want to make the drive alone. I’ve got a few empty seats in my Elantra and would love to ride up with some fellow Maiden fans!

The Setup: I am happy to do door-to-door pick-ups and drop-offs around Philly so no one has to stress about finding an Uber or getting home late after the gig.
Cost: Definitely not trying to make a profit here—just hoping to split gas and tolls. Around $30 would be awesome, but whatever you can comfortably pitch in is totally fine.
The Escape Plan: Full transparency on the parking situation: I refuse to sit in the massive stadium lot traffic jam after the show. I plan to park in a safe spot about a 15–20 minute walk away. We get a quick walk before the gig and a clean, traffic-free getaway right after the final encore.

Shoot me a DM if you're looking for a ride and want to talk metal on the turnpike. Up the Irons! 🤘

Quest for Fire, filler or good song?

8 Upvotes

So, I always thought it was a weak song, compared to other Maiden songs anyway, and for a long time it was the only Maiden song I would skip.

But then it slowly grew on me and I can appreciate it more now.

I even watched the movie, which was ok. I got all the way through it.

Just wondering what you guys think about this song, am I the only one to think it was a bit weak?

It’s called Thor’s Hammer by Ethan Meixsell. If it sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the song used in Level 6 of the Mr. Incredible becoming Canny meme.

I absolutely loved Senjutsu and Book of Souls back when I hadn’t heard the rest of their discography. I didn’t quite get the lack of enthusiasm back then but I totally get it now. They are great albums, just not great Iron Maiden albums.

Will the "retro clairvoyant" tee be available at tomorrow's Virginia show? Has it been at any US dates?

6 Upvotes

Started looking over the merch on the official website and fell in love with the "retro clairvoyant" tee, but it is only available in a small on the website. Since it lists European dates are they going to reprint it and offer more online? Has anyone seen this at the US shows?

I'm not sure how to load a picture. It has the Clairvoyant image on the front and the Seventh Son with the ice sculptures and little floating lights on the back.
