Lolwut. They played the whole album live and repeatedly praised it in interviews since. Not sure why you think those songs were any more of a “necessity” than anything else on the set in 2010. It’s pretty obvious that they’re all fond of that album.

They are fond of it, but sadly that doesn't show on setlists. It's great to have FTGGOG back and I would also like to hear TROBB again (I hope they play it sometime).
 
I don’t know about that. There haven’t been many opportunities for songs to be included. Maiden England and TBOS tours didnt really have room for AMOLAD.

Well, I hoped that TROBB would remain in the set during 2011. It didn't. They could've added something in 2017, but they didn't and opted for Wrathchild again.

And there is 0 official live versions of AMLOAD songs, which is a crime.

You seem to forget the Different World single... ;)
 
A Matter of Life and Death feels almost concept-like. It maintains an unique kind of atmosphere all through its entirety, which in turn makes it hardly accessible. It wouldn't fit in the 2011 setlist because of the theme and tone of the other songs; a song, any song from it would kill the flow of the entire set (maybe they could've fitted "These Colours Don't Run" in "2 Minutes"'s place, but then again, since 2006 Maiden never includes a song from the past album in new album tours). It had absolutely no place in the Book of Souls Tour due to the theme; granted "Wrathchild" also doesn't have anything to do with the theme of that tour, but then again it's barely 3 minutes long. Nearly all AMOLAD songs are more than 6 minutes long, with the shortest one being 4:18 and very hard to fit anywhere outside of the album itself. To me, the lack of songs on tour doesn't say anything about the band's appreciation of the album, or lack of it. It means nothing.

Well, it took them 12 years to realise that AMLOAD is a great album and included something from it on a greatest hits tour (TCDR and TROBB felt that they were included more out of necessity in 2010).

AMOLAD is one of Bruce's favourite Maiden albums. Perhaps they feel the material works better as a whole album.
 
AMOLAD songs in 2011 would’ve been great. Other than that, I don’t think it was reasonable to expect AMOLAD songs on any tour until now.

I knew about Seventh Son and TXF being his top favorites with POM coming right behind, but DOD? When and where was that?

It was back in 2005, interviewed backstage with Dave Murray. Adrian and Bruce were also interviewed but chose different albums.

The different parts of the interview used to be available on Youtube.

yes, this is why they should begin with a tour for 'the greatest hits of the reunion'. All the 'non-history'/contemporary tours have so far been dominated by a most recent album. A set list full of songs from AMOLAD+BNW+DOD+TBOS+TFF would be great.

They now have enough material for that kind of a show.
