Bruce and Nicko on Stage Together

Posted by The Saint on May 11, 2005 @ 20:30

As hinted by Maidenfans, Bruce made an appearance at the 2005 Guitar London Show last week-end.

Nicko was on stage with Phil Hilbourne (guitar), Andy Frost (bass guitar) and Geoff Whitehorn (Guitar).

Unlike last year where he did only sing his cover of 'All the Young Dudes', Bruce did sing a Maiden tune: 'Run to the Hills' ! He also did his Mott The Hoople cover again, plus 'Burn' from 'Deep Purple'. Prior to this, the band did 'The Immigrant Song', some Satriani Instrumental and 'Help The Poor'

Here's the entry in Phil Hilbourne's diary:

*We had a great time playing at the show - It was a real treat to have Andy Frost back again and also to be able to work with Bruce Dickenson again.

Here's what the promoters said about the weekend - "The highlight of the show has to be Bruce Dickinson getting up on stage with Phil Hilborne and Nicko McBrain to do 'Run to the Hills' with all 3500 seats in the Grand Hall filled. And once again the Hamsters playing a blistering R&B set with Slim and the boys confirming their position as one of the best live acts in the UK.." Clive Morton - Organiser - MB Media Ltd Publishers of the UK's No. 1 Guitar Gear Magazine - Guitar Buyer

p.s. We will be playing there again next Year: 6th & 7th May 2006! *

Edison the Ed has made some pictures of the show. One is attached, more to come (you can see last year's pics in here) !

'All The Young Dudes', **Mott The Hoople** cover, was on Dickinson's first solo album, *Tattooed Millionaire*.

'Bring Your Daughter...' was written single-handedly by Dickinson for *Nightmare On Elm Street 5* and ended up on a Maiden album because Steve asked him.

No Maiden stuff there...

I know a man who has gone this year and attended the performance and he told me that Bruce this year sang:

All the Young Dudes
Burn (deep purple)
Run to the hills.

I even have a recording of All the young dudes.

My bad, I had one witness report and what Phil had to say. They didn't agree on the song chosen and I've mixed them up in my news.

Let's forget about 'Bring...' for the moment. I'll ask Phil if it was really sung or not.



Cheers

If you want I can link you the "report" that my friend did on the IMBB.
It has pics of Bruce and Nicko on stage, with bruce reading lyrics, he told that Bruce sang All the young dudes, then Burn and then Run to the hills. He told that Bruce was in great shape.

I have pics as well and an mp3 of phil introducting Bruce on stage and then of Bruce performing All the young dudes (although is almost unlistonable after the intro)

Thanks.

unfortunatel awful quality, apart from the intro when you can understand something. You can hear phil introducing Bruce and then the first part of the song well. If you want the mp3 I can send it to you, just contact me on IMBB (My nick there is irontrooper83)

I am the one who bootleged the show and uploaded the mp3 (Edison The Ed on the maiden BB). Sadly, the quality is bad because the drums were so high so this was the best i could get. The full show can be found here:

And at no point during the procedings was bring your daughter to the slaughter played and Phill definately did not sing.
