Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Yep, that was alright. I will listen again another time.

I've just put Seventh Son of a Seventh Son on for the first time, and 3 seconds in I know get a ManBuyCow reference I had missed (music cues for 7 Deadly Cynthia) @impq.bsky.social @manbuycow

I think that Paul Di'Anno is quite good.

hey just. regardless of how shit plays out, just know that i love you all and i consider it a privilege to have been alive on the sane earth as you all

If I had any sort of US based online publishing business I would be moving all of the content overseas.

When are they going to come after the comic books? When will they realise that Superman is anti-fascist?

I know I've said it before, but Physical Graffiti is the best album ever pressed into a piece of vinyl

FIVE POINTS TO DADDY! #onlyconnect

Paul Bruce, Paul Clive and Paul Thunderstick

I look forward to an @impq.bsky.social on a Monday morning, but I'm not owed one or anything. Taking weeks off is fine, I'll listen to Famous for Fifteen Quid again or something. I should listen to Iron Maiden as much as I listen to IMPQ.

Hooray! It's @impq.bsky.social mini podcast day! I can't wait to listen!

I like the mini podcast and miss it. @impq.bsky.social

Sanctuary is great, but I'm missing Phantom of the Opera.
That was great 10/10 though

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo kaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy. He's doing his Lenny Henry impression now

"we're not bothered about selling clothes" - my t-shirt drawer is disagreeing with you.

No, it's Friday night and I have it on good authority that Thursday night didn't do and Friday night didn't do it.

Dave always makes it looks easy, Adrian looks like he is concentrating on the hardest thing he has ever done.
Are Long Beach going to fuck up his hearing for good?

Steve's singing again. Does he only do the songs from before Adrian joining? I love how Bruce always starts the last 'lives' one beat later than I expect. Lots of physical and metaphorical running going on. Steve's still singing.

I don't know what this song is called, but Steve has taken Adrian's mic! EVEN GIANTER EDDIE! They do not know how to end this song. Oh, this is the 'end'. Oh no, they've come back on. Bruce has gone oddly cockney. Nice band intro I've not seen before. Nicko has a mask on, crazy times.

Yeah this is perfect, no gimmicks or leaping about, just knocking this out of the park. Long Beach is screaming. They've started leaping around now I've said that. Best performance yet though.

Does Nicko need all of those drums? That's a big number and they delivered it. Was that the 'end' of the show? Onto Hallowed be thy Name. Is this encore now? This is Bruce at his best, I've watched a lot of reactions to this song (but not this video)

Spooky face intro for Number of the Beast. Why does Adrian change guitar every song? Is it getting hot or something? Adrians gone for a chat with Nicko. Dave has another nurdle. On IMPQ you always seem to know whose solo was whose - now I understand. And a bass solo because it's my band.

Ohh new backdrop, the stage has come alive for Powerslave. It's all been dark because the stage is set up just for this song. Mask! Fire! Smoke! This is quite a good song. Dave having another nurdle. IT'S EDDIE! No reaction from the crowd though. They couldn't care less.

If they couldn't use Hammersmith footage because of the lighting then it must have been pitch black, this isn't exactly lighting the band up. Bass solo🤘. Sssh now, it's the quiet bit. Smoke. I have a First Officer who puts his leg up like that. Bruce is dancing on the bass drum!

Lights off again, what will Adrian have next? Oh more Brucey bonus. Mate this intro is about 13 minutes long never mind the song. Oh God he is boring. Nicko looks like he is about to be found out and he is just playing until security comes on and stops him. Has Adrian left the stage?

That stage is tiny! Ha Nicko got his 'motherfuckers' on that night too. Long Beach is already screaming, you don't have to ask them. Dave nurdling. The Les Paul is back, does he hate his guitar tech or something?

Dave handing off to Adrian, another guitar change. Is that the first one again. Nice two hander, so Steve jumps off the speaker cabinet to remind everyone whose band this is.
