i think so, i saw them last night at ozzfest and i was blown away on how great they were. for a guy who at least in his late 40's bruce still sounds great. they only played songs off their first four cds and heres a the set list
Wrathchild
The Trooper
Phantom Of The Opera
Revelations
Run To The Hills
Hallowed Be Thy Name
The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden

Encore:

Running Free
Sanctuary

the sucky thing was they only played for an hour but they are coming around next with a new album and followed by a tour so its somthing to look forward

Best live show I'VE ever seen for sure.

An hour seems a little short, but it was a festival after all. They played for well over 2 hours when I saw them (all 3 times). They were headline shows at the Bell Centre in Montreal...not festivals.

I'd love to see Maiden in a small venue. It'd be weird without the big production though.

Judas Priest puts on a better show, but Maiden is the better band.

Best live band I've ever seen was either Dream Theater or Joe Satriani. both played over 3 hours, DT played 4 hours in MSG. this is besides ska bands at shows, who are always amazing.

I got my tickets to GIGANTOUR and im looking forward to seeing Dream Theater, Megadeth, Nevermore, and Symphony X. the rest of the bands are meh. i would say Fear Factory but they arent the original members.
