Paul Tours Scotland, Belgrade Pictures

Posted by The Saint on June 13, 2005 @ 17:39

As you all know, Paul is currently touring the UK for the first time in a long time. His last three dates took place in Scotland. Here are some information about these gigs:

Paul played for about 85 minutes. Both the Aberdeen and Shetlands gigs were recorded directly from the soundboard (note: these recordings may have been done without Paul Di'Anno's consent and it's highly doubtful that they will be released officialy) and featured the following setlist:

  1. Ides of March
  2. Wrathchild
  3. Prowler
  4. Marshall Lockjaw
  5. Murders In The Rue Morgue
  6. The Beast Arises
  7. Children Of Madness
  8. Remember Tomorrow
  9. Impaler
  10. Killers
  11. Phantom of the Opera
  12. Running Free
  13. Genghis Khan
  14. Transylvania
  15. Sanctuary

The Edinburgh date had Maiden Scotland, a great tribute band, opening for Paul. Sadly the place wasn't full even with the ticket's fair price. Here is the setlist of both bands:

Maiden Scotland

The Number of the Beast Can I Play with Madness The Trooper Wickerman Children of the Damned Two Minutes to Midnight Fear of the Dark Evil Than Men Do Hallowed be thy name Run to the Hills

Dianno

Ides of March (played live not recorded intro) Wrathchild Prowler Marshall Lokjaw Murders in the Rue Morgue The Beast arises Children of Madness Remember tomorrow Ghengis Khan Transylvannia Impaler Killers Phantom of the Opera Running Free (with Stevie from Maiden Scotland) Sanctuary

In related news, Paul Di was joined on stage by former Sepultura/current Soulfly frontman Max Cavalera on May 28 at Dom Omladine in Belgrade, Serbia for a rendition of Maiden's "Killers". Check out pictures at this location.

Fansite Pauldianno.be has also published lots of pictures of that show and a nice review: click here.

Did he happen to grace us with any of his political brilliance this time?

I was at the Aberdeen gig, it was packed. Maiden Scotland were there too, setlists were the same.

Maiden Scotland were brilliant, more or less note perfect which is exactly what you want from a tribute band. In my opinion though (and most of the people I spoke to that were there) Di'anno was terrible.

He murdered the Maiden songs. It sounded like Slipknot doing bad maiden covers!!

I spoke to one of the Maiden Scotland guitarists after the gig and asked him why Di'anno was even with them.

His answer was - 'tell me about it!!'
