Vaenyr praises Maiden in Gelsenkirchen but hears a passage lose time
Vaenyr praises Maiden's energy and Simon Dawson's drumming in a Gelsenkirchen review, but describes a quiet passage in which Dawson struggled to hold the rhythm, Adrian Smith rushed and Steve Harris dragged. Vaenyr later points to the moment in a recording; that footage has not been independently checked. The review also welcomes the surrounding stage screens while criticising some repeating animations and disruptive spectators. The account and its follow-up contain tour spoilers.
