THE FUTURE PAST TOUR - The Setlist Contest! WINNERS: blackie2380, MrKnickerbocker & Collin

Prediction: Either the concert or the encore will open with Alexander the Great. Imagine the first night of the tour. The stage is dark, and the crowd is on fire with anticipation. Then they hear:
"My son, ask for thyself another kingdom.."
 
1. DOFP
2. Sea of Madness
3. TWOTW
4. The Parchment
5. The Trooper
6. The Time Machine

8. Heaven Can Wait
9. Hell on Earth
10. NOTB
11. FOTD
12. Iron Maiden

13. Alexander
14. Hallowed
15. WY

If I predicted at this point, I'd probably predict practicaly the same set. Maybe change NOTB for 2MTM (or even something from SSOASS, since they haven't played anything from it this year) and Sea Of Madness for Deja Vu. Or maybe not.

as is that one extremely realistic
 
I didn't think about the order yet, but my bet are:

5 from SIT:
CSIT
Wasted Years
Heaven Can Wait
Stranger In a Strange Land
Alexander The Great

5 from Senjutsu:
Stratego
TWOTW
Days Of Future Past
Death Of The Celts (I'd prefer LIALW or The Parchment as the second epic, but I think Steve will choose Celts)
Hell On Earth

5 all-time classics:
Iron Maiden
The Trooper
The Number Of The Beast
Fear Of The Dark
Hallowed Be Thy Name
 
Samurai 5 (the more epic songs):

Senjutsu
Lost In A Lost World
The Time Machine
The Parchment
Hell On Earth

Cyborgs 5:

Caught Somewhere In Time
Wasted Years
Sea Of Madness
The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner or Stranger In A Strange Land
Alexander The Great

Classic Cuts:

Fear Of The Dark
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Iron Maiden

Encore:

The Number Of The Beast
The Clansman
Running Free

I really can't see them dropping Senjutsu and Stratego.
Difficult to say. I don't see them playing more than six Senjutsu songs, maybe five if the tour poster hints towards five of each album. But that makes it hard to fit in all of the expected songs.

I think these are certain

The Writing on the Wall
Hell On Earth

Maybe

Senjutsu
Stratego
Days of Future Past
The Time Machine
The Parchment

Which songs do we leave out?
 
Doctor Doctor
Bladerunner Theme Intro (or maybe something new from Bladerunner 2049)
1. Caught Somewhere in Time
2. Sea of Madness
3. The Writing on the Wall
4. Stratego
5. Two Minutes to Midnight
6. The Trooper
7. Heaven Can Wait
8. Days of Future Past
9. Stranger in a Strange Land
10. The Parchment
11. Hell on Earth
12. Iron Maiden
Encore
13. Alexander the Great
14. Hallowed Be Thy Name
15. Wasted Years
 
I want Wasted Years as the closer, for sure. I think ATG opening the encore would be absolutely pants-splitting. I used to feel like I wanted something unexpected again as the closer, but Aces High proves that that really doesn’t work, so maybe I don’t want “unexpected”?
 
CSIT
Days
WOTW
Stranger
HCW
Parchment
Trooper
Time Machine
NOTB
Hell
FOTD
Iron Maiden

ATG
Hallowed
Wasted Years
 
01. Days of Future Past
02. Alexander the Great
03. Deja Vu
04. The Writing on the Wall
05. The Trooper
06. The Time Machine
07. Heaven Can Wait
08. The Parchment
09. Stranger In a Strange Land
10. Hell On Earth
11. Fear of the Dark
12. Iron Maiden
_______________________________
13. The Number of the Beast
14. Hallowed Be Thy Name
15. Wasted Years

If not Deja Vu, then Sea of Madness and that's it. Mark my words. 101 minutes setlist.
 
01 Senjutsu
02 Stranger in a Strange Land
03 The Writing on the Wall
04 The Parchment
05 The Trooper
06 Stratego
07 Afraid to Shoot Strangers
08 Heaven Can Wait
09 Sea of Madness
10 Sign of the Cross
11 Hell on Earth
12 Fear of the Dark
13 Iron Maiden

14 Wasted Years
15 The Evil That Men Do
16 Hallowed Be Thy Name


A sort of a realistic best-case-scenario - set for me, with a couple surprises.
Highly doubt they'd really play 5 out of SIT and I can't stand ATG.
 
Days Of Future Past
The Writing On The Wall
The Time Machine
Wasted Years
Sea Of Madness
Heaven Can Wait
Stranger In A Strange Land
Brave New World
Fear Of The Dark
Iron Maiden
-------‐-------------
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Hell On Earth
Only The Good Die Young
 
The Future Past Tour - My setlist (with thoughts on some songs)
  1. Caught Somewhere in Time (might downtune this song as it's a hard song for Bruce)
  2. 2 Minutes to Midnight (also played during the '86 tour so might appear here as well)
  3. Sea of Madness (might be replaced by Heaven Can Wait since Sea of Madness is a heavy song for Nicko)
  4. Stratego
  5. Stranger in a Strange Land (it was in the teaser trailer after all...)
  6. The Time Machine (would fit in perfectly with the tour's theme)
  7. Alexander the Great (it's now or never Maiden!)
  8. The Trooper (can't have an Iron Maiden concert without this song....)
  9. Days of Future Past (it's in the tour's name)
  10. The Number of the Beast (can't have an Iron Maiden concert without this song....)
  11. Iron Maiden (can't have an Iron Maiden concert without this song....)
Encore
  1. The Writing on the Wall (most popular Senjutsu single)
  2. Hallowed Be Thy Name
  3. Hell on Earth
  4. Wasted Years (most popular SiT song)
Encore 2
  1. Running Free

  3. "Heaven Can Wait"
  4. "The Writing on the Wall"
  5. "Days of Future Past"
  6. "2 Minutes to Midnight"
  7. "The Parchment"
  8. "Hell on Earth"
  9. "Stranger in a Strange Land"
  10. "The Evil That Men Do"
  11. "Fear of the Dark"
  12. "Iron Maiden"
Encore
