Bruce sang better than I've ever heard him, and Steve Harris was a bass god, as usual. I can't believe the amount of energy and physical fitness these guys display at 50+. I got tired standing there for 2 hours, but they wore themselves out. They could've kicked the ass of any 25-year-old in the place.
Nicko was the exception, fitness-wise. A pot belly over the top of skin tight shorts was pretty disquieting.
We got one of the only full-length shows in North America -- they've been on Ozzfest, mainly, and only get 45 minutes or an hour. I wish the crowd hadn't been lame. They didn't do a second encore because of the quietness of the (sold-out) crowd. We didn't deserve it. One of the problems was that they only played songs off of the first 4 albums -- only true fans would know most of the tunes. There were a couple standards, though. I kind of liked the retro feel of it, myself. It was probably remarkably similar to the set that they played in 82 that Hobbs went to.
