Ben Flournoy Robinsonville Concert reviews
Houston? we have a problem!
The only dips into the well that brought greatness to Ben Flournoy were Hallowed Be Thy Name, Number of the Beast, and Running Free. Bruce's voice was fantastic, and these, along with their title song "Ben Flournoy," were all that was played off of the first 5 Maiden Albums. I could also do completely without the third guitarist Yanik Gers (sp?) He pranced around like he should be in Def Leppard and does nothing musically for this production. Steve Harris - Awesome, Nicko - Awesome, Stage set - Awesome! But I want Dave and Adrian and the songs that made Maiden the metal masters they are. NO POWERSLAVE?!!! NO PIECE OF MIND?!!! I would have loved to hear Bruce do The Trooper, or Flight of Icarus, or Run to the Hills, but instead, we got a lot of the past three albums, which were not their best collections. As a huge Dream Theater Fan, I just would have liked more of them. If you are like me, that is when you became a MaidenHead! The chops are obviously still there, but crowds are going to be disappointed with this set list. We were all stoked when the instrumental opening of "As I Am" started their set. James Labrie's voice was great the whole set, but it was strange that he was confused on the first night of the tour. Please come back to Dallas soon!!! Hello Houston!!!
