Video?
Stating the obvious, the video is marketed for a younger audience and it will achieve its intended objective. Many youth will enjoy the video. Gamers and etc...
Song?
Although the video distracted me from pay attention to much of the song..
Still, from what I could tell it sounded pretty good.
Peace, Love and Happieness and all that stuff...

I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.
I of course love Maiden and am eager to get the new disc. Just saw them at MSG Monday night and they rocked it - and only played like 3 old songs - Wrathchild, Iron Maiden... shit maybe just 2 old songs - and they still rocked the house with 90's + tunes.
Just saw them in NYC. BS if you asked me. I am all for them doing new music, but to not play The Trooper, 2 Min., Aces High, Wasted Years or Run to the Hills. Please.
At least the ticket was cheap. If I had shelled out top dollar for good seats I would be really pissed.

No Hallowed Be Thy Name?!?
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
They played hallowed be thy name, iron maiden, wrathchild, running free and number of the beast from the "old school" list.
They played newer live favorite like fear of the dark and wicker man as well.
16 songs total- nothing from somewhere in time or 7th son or piece of mind or powerslave. Nothing from other albums either, like no prayer for the dying, but that's not so surprising.
Saw them at pnc and MSG this time, saw them at pnc during somewhere back on tour.
Great shows all, but I could tell some were not thrilled by the looong chunk in the middle that was devoted to newer lesser known songs. I had no problem with the set list, just felt it needed a better mix sequentially.
2 tours ago they did matter of life and death beginning to end- people were pissed. Then they did all old school and people were happy. They're trying to find a good balance.
At this point they have a shitload of great material to choose from so it's tough to pare down a list.
One thing that did annoy me- they have been running the same set the whole tour but have swapped out 2 different slots in the lineup- for some reason they played the same set at both pnc and at MSG the next night. Kind of silly, they must have realized that alot of folks were going to hit up both shows.
For all that, gotta say, they bring it, energy wise, night after night- as a fan I appreciate that most of all.
They did a nice "dedication" to RJD, but it would have really capped it off nicely if they actually played one of his songs instead of dedicating an obscure new song to him.

Good summary of what I've seen in Montreal on July 7th!!!
My main gripe is the fact that most of the songs of the set list would have the similar vibe: slow intro with clean guitars then move to the usual galoping riffs we are used to hear from Maiden.
But as you said, and I quote ya: they bring it, energy wise, night after night- as a fan I appreciate that most of all.
