You can't have 3 Senjutsu songs (being played live for the first time) as the encore...you want well established, crowd pleasing songs for the encore...always.exactly, thats why the senjutsu ones should be encore, to give time to set the stage for whats to come on the next tour
seems like a good chance to have Bruce come out with just a spotlight and have a little banter with the audienceIt's imposible to set up senjutsu world during the show. Ten people was tering it down and it took ages. Those roof tops take lots of time to remove them. Pause before revelations is much longer now than it was in 2018. So I think they wont change first three songs whole tour.
I do think it was funny just how short his pre-Blood Brothers speech was. It's like, my God, you just spent three years going around the world talking for two hours a night non-stop and now suddenly you don't want to talk anymore?seems like a good chance to have Bruce come out with just a spotlight and have a little banter with the audience
Which prompts to the mind, why do that for 3 songs? Why spoil the opener, full stage production and even samurai eddie?It's imposible to set up senjutsu world during the show.

Perfect opportunity to drop Aces and put Wrathchild on setWell, after the Romania date they will have several days until the next gig. I suppose if they decide to make some adjustments to the show this would be the time to do it.
Yup... people here saying that senjutsu wouldn't be a good encore got no idea how to put up a setlist... This is just bad stratego(pun very much intended) on maiden's part, but stubborn as 'Arry is, he will double down and just keep it as it isI think everybody would be happy to get Senjutsu stage for the encore with the 3 new songs and Run to the Hills at the end.
There's enough time to get ready the Senjutsu stage after Iron Maiden song meanwhile the band take a breath.
My Set List:
No pagodas nor churches…no Eddie backdrops, just Marshalls and a bit of pyro here and there, a couple of explosions and that's it.
- Aces High
- Wrathchild
- The Trooper
- Revelations
- The Number of the Beast
- Sign of the Cross
- Fear of the Dark
- Flight of Icarus
- 2 Minutes to Midnight
- Hallowed be thy Name
- Iron Maiden
- The Writing on the Wall
- Stratego
- Senjutsu
- Snactuary
- Run to the Hills
Maybe the expectations some of you had were too highWhich prompts to the mind, why do that for 3 songs? Why spoil the opener, full stage production and even samurai eddie?
If senjutsu tour will have exactly that, then why do legacy of the beast already showcasing that? Will there be no surprise whatsoever besides giant samurai eddie behind Nicko?
I love maiden to death but i am beyond disappointed with this planning
Please no, dont give them that idea!!Perfect opportunity to drop Aces and put Wrathchild on set![]()
I wonder if they're making sure the set and samurai Eddie gets some use in case there's some concern in the Maiden camp that the full Senjutsu tour might not happen. I'm sure they're 95% sure it will, but losing two years at their age puts a lot of question marks on plans they were making back in 2019. Not saying they're geezers and someone's gonna drop dead or someone decides they're not up for another tour, etc., but the chances of some tour-stopping event like that is statistically higher these days than it was even ten years ago.Which prompts to the mind, why do that for 3 songs?

I think this crazy last three years has big part in that decision. Covid plus Ukraine war, who knows what tomorrow brings. And on top of that they aint getting any younger.Which prompts to the mind, why do that for 3 songs? Why spoil the opener, full stage production and even samurai eddie?

Yep, it is also my best guess for this decision, to at least show some of it, in case anything happens globally again or maiden camp wiseI wonder if they're making sure the set and samurai Eddie gets some use in case there's some concern in the Maiden camp that the full Senjutsu tour might not happen.

Just a guess. Probably wrong. Who knows?
They were Aces High.Maybe the expectations some of you had were too high
Speak for yourself. I spent most of 2020 wondering how long it would take to deflate a pair of pagoda towers.I miss the lockdowns during the pandemic when we didn't have to worry about serious stuff like Maiden's setlists and when an inflatable spitfire should appear during a rock concert.
