Iron Maidens show in Stockholm november 18 is available for streaming.
Two hours of Iron Maiden. A bit of swedish blabbering in the beginning.  Part 1 Part 2 quote:
Sveriges Radio is Sweden's national publicly funded radio broadcaster.
As previously reported, the same concert was available for streaming on December 28th courtesy of
Iron Maiden Sweden FC

I'm not sure what to think regarding the choice to play only the new album live. Maiden seems to have started a new trend - Priest are said to have decided to do the same for their new Nostradamus album later this year.On the one hand, cutting out all the glorious classics is a bit of a snub to those of us whose memory stretches a little further than the last couple of years; on the other hand, it can't be easy to choose which gems to include and which to leave out among 30 years' worth of classics - not to mention that the band may be sick to death of actually playing them. Either way, they're going to mightily piss off at least some of their fans. -------------------- "Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards." - R. A. Dickson

The swedish fans weren't pissed off as far as I know, one of the commentators said something like:
The only place they will get away with this and still be playing for sold out arenas must be here in sweden Here's a clip of Bruce tearing up a sign NOT in sweden 'tho. angry Bruce -------------------- All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

Good to know, now I can avoid Maiden shows without feeling guilty. Cuz, y'know, last album sucks big fucking time. A band that used to write music based on great riffs just got down to plain chords-verse-chorus-boring-hard-rock crap.
They told the media in advance that they only would be playing songs from the new album. Ok it wasn't any big hit but it wasn't that bad! -------------------- All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

Right on Mal. Yes, it's a bold move, and I suppose it would help if the album the band is promoting so exclusively was objectively very, very good. I'm not a big fan of Maiden's latest, though, and that makes me question their choice. And you're right, the guys aren't bald at all - what's their secret?  On a good day, Janick has the most beautiful blond mane I've ever seen on a 50-plus guy, and his bandmates are all right as well.
I've been spotting them around the neighbourhood for the last 15 years, and at times they look like they haven't aged at all - or maybe I'm growing old in unison with them and I don't notice... -------------------- "Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards." - R.

I thn k A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH is the best Maiden album since 7th SON era. Great songs excellent lyrics... and I've been a fan since the DiAnno days, so it's not like their a new band to me. I'm thrilled to be excited about a Maiden album again and have played it many many times since getting it before it was released (thank you stupid WalMart employees).How can they ONLY play the new album and nothing else? Have they cut their set back to 73 minutes (or however long the new album is). I'm a bit confussed by this statement since just playing songs from the newest released wouldn't fill enough time for a concert they headline. I'm in agreement with Jannick being a posing fool. I can stand watching the dvd concerts with him dancing around like a metal lepricon on stage. I know Gers and Maiden go WAY back, even before he joined the band. He played with Dickinson on his Tattooed Millionare album (god how I hate that cd... so glad he stopped doing that revival hard rock shit when he desided to go solo... the rest of his catalog I love). For a guy that's been hitting those screamin high notes for many many years he must have made the same deal with the devil that Gillan and Halford made... those 3 guys still blow me away with their vocal chords.... good clean living, I guess  I think it was last year that Dickison was personally flying fans to a few Maiden shows as a package deal... pretty cool  -------------------- yawn
