Because they chose two difficult long songs to rotate and forgot to tell Nicko that they will be doing Paschendale, which he learned of when they met for rehearsals.

I agree. Completely changing sets during 2 shows wouldn't work for Maiden. However, they could do something that Rush do and have an A and a B setlist which differ in 3 songs of equal length and value to the set (for exampla Running Free and Sanctuary/Revelations and Powerslave/CIPWM and...

Pual Burce legally.

I think there are talks about 2028 and I think they are leaning towards something David Gilmour did on the last tour. A few cities, multiple nights (5 or 6 cities with 3 shows each). That's why he calls it "a thing" not "a tour". That would be my guess. Cutting down the travel part would extend...

Rammstein should be in this conversation IMO.

Maybe Rod used some of his 80s convincing techniques... "I ALREADY PAID FOR THAT BLOODY VIDEO. IT'S BLOODY GREAT AND WAS BLOODY EXPENSIVE. YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY ACES BLOODY HIGH" *Bashes Steve and Bruce's heads into the meeting table*

Bruce didn't detune songs. He simply stopped playing Darkside Of Aquarious, because it's in the stratosphere.

And that's where his pride and ego come to play and it wouldn't surprise me if that changed.

You can. I was 10 meters from the stage in Budapest and Bruce's straining was obvious. Same during all other 3 gigs I went to last year. Was on the floor during all of them. It's a stupid song choice at their age and placed stupidly in the setlist. And I will die on this hill. Bruce himself...

Oh, you can hear it. And Bruce himself knows that we hear it...

2 minutes more. So 1 hour and 52 minutes.

Also, the thing is... We are only talking how the changes might make the set better. But realistically, they could also make it worse. Dropping Seventh Son would be a move that would do that.

I said... If they are smart. But we all know the great stubborness of S. P. Harris and P. B. Dickinson. From a musical standpoint, Aces High should go. That said, I wouldn't pay too much attention to artwork, because in 2022 tour artwork got changed last minute. It's a hint, but nothing certain.

There will be changes. Otherwise there would be no reason for Bruce to say that on the red carpet. Rime was being teased left, right and center before RFYL. "Favourite song", "Cast off the boat of the new IM tour" etc... Seventh Son also was to some extend. Bruce knows exactly what he is doing...

True. It, Phantom and Rime are crucial features of the set.
