Change some of the Maiden setlists

Joining in on the RFYL remodelling

1. Murders in the Rue Morgue
2. Purgatory
3. Wrathchild
4. Killers
5. Phantom of the Opera
6. Transylvania
7. Two Minutes to Midnight
8. Powerslave
9. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
10. Infinite Dreams
11. The Clairvoyant
12. Bring Your Daughter . . . to the Slaughter
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden

15. The Number of the Beast
16. Run to the Hills
17. Hallowed be thy Name

After much seething over the absence of a certain song, it occurred to me that the existing setlist is actually not too bad. Furthermore, it also struck me as a bit of a "best of the history tours package" for an even younger generation (given that the Early Days tour was 20 years ago). As such, I remodelled it along loose chronological lines, segueing from Early Days to SBIT/LAD to Maiden England in three distinct sections, with the basic NOTB stuff confined to the encore (and Hallowed never fails as a closer).

I deliberately gave more time to the earlier content, based on Simon Dawson's apparent Clive-yness (and the Early Days tour being the oldest). From this, I added a song off each Dianno album at the expense of the Wasted Years and Aces High - Transylvania is instantly recognisable depite not being played live since the 90s, and Purgatory is an indulgent deep cut (one of my favourites off Killers).

The inverse of this is a comparatively smaller showing for the Maiden England content (being the most recent history tour); Clairvoyant stays, but with all the runtime Seventh Son had to go (and besides Infinite Dreams is my all-time favourite). The 6 minutes saved would do Bruce and the boys some good at their age.

What do we think?

Edit - subbed out Trooper for Bring Your Daughter. Figured NPFTD needed some love

Edit: changed my mind

encore
15. The Trooper
16. Fear of the Dark
17. Wasted Years
Piece of Mind isn't represented properly and I tried to fix that. I also much prefer Prowler to Murders and I think it should open this tour in particular. I didn't include Infinite Dreams even though I'd like to hear it live.
I made a few changes also to fix the flow of the set. I've put RTTH earlier so that it'd be easier for Bruce and I've put Clairvoyant together with 7th Son.
 
RFYL 2.0:

13. Hallowed Be Thy Name
14. Iron Maiden
---------------------------------
15. Fear of the Dark
16. Phantom of the Opera
17. Run To The Hills
 
I try something different: improving both Somewhere On Tour and 7th Tour of A 7th Tour by one simple change: swapping places of Children of the Damned and The Prisoner. They both would fit thematically better after switch in my view.
 
Because a suggestion of a song placement swap for Run For Your Lives in the tour thread worked for my brain, I wanted to re-organize LotB 2.0 to see how it looked. Knowing three songs had to be scrapped to make place for the Senjutsu stuff, I've got...

Legacy of the Beast 2.0... 2.1?
1. Senjutsu
2. Stratego
3. The Writing on the Wall
4. Aces High
5. Where Eagles Dare
6. The Clansman
7. The Trooper
8. Revelations
9. Sign of the Cross
10. Flight of Icarus
11. Fear of the Dark
12. The Number of the Beast
13. Iron Maiden

14. The Evil That Men Do
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name
16. Run to the Hills
