Heaven Can Wait is surely the 3rd song they will play for sure

said caught somewhere in time sounded like sh*t live which had my hopes for hearing it tank but back in 86, they only had 2 guitars when they needed 3 to pull it off right and now they have it.

Yup. They fully rehearsed it, according to Rod Smallwood. He said they chose Afraid to Shoot Strangers instead after Bruce "wasn't feeling it" with Infinite Dreams. Sad day when I heard that after the show. Rod ran into a small group of fans after the Atlanta gig and got quizzed. His answers...

they made their minds up in 2012 when they rehearsed Infinite Dreams then ditched it. Sad choice IMO

in all honesty, caught somewhere in time alone would make me happy. It's my favorite track of all time

I'm 95% positive that the following will be played Wasted Years Heaven Can Wait Stranger in a Strange Land Number of the Beast Hallowed Be Thy Name 2 Minutes to Midnight Iron Maiden Fear of the Dark The Evil That Men Do The Trooper Uncertainties but very desirable Sea of Madness Caught...

the number of references to Stranger in a Strange Land recently would suggest they will play that song. The artwork on the new shirt has a SIASL Eddie when the original work from 86 does not as seen below

for some reason, they play it slower; at least the intro and ending. I think it'll sound great if they use the original GK amps and play at normal speed like in 86. Sounded great then.

I am LOVING the tour shirts they released the other day and expect the event shirts to be simply amazing. SIT is my favorite and album, favorite Eddie and favorite album cover so I'll be burning money on merch this tour.... ugh

wrathchild sure getting the most hate lol

Actually quite the contrary. Loneliness did work in rehearsals in 86, just not flowing with the set (whatever that means).

I really wish they would just drop their self titled song "Iron Maiden"... I know they feel obligated to play it but it's not a great song and takes up a slot in their set that a much better song could fit into.

I am anticipating 5 songs from each album listed. It would be blasphemy to play less than 5 from SIT given its absence over the years. I honestly would love them to pull a deep cut or 2 from more recent albums like they did on the Final Frontier tour... Maybe play Starblind for fvcks sake...

I really hope they are done with new albums. This coming tour will make them a lot of money. The merch alone with SIT Eddie on everything is a lot and I'll be one of those people blowing money on it all lol... I will likely go to several shows. Would love to go back to Europe and see one there...

I wouldn't want to see this show in an open-air venue. The SIT songs need that dark atmosphere that an arena offers. Certainly, if they open with CSIT or do ATG, a dark setting will set the tone. My beef with Maiden England was the first 2 shows I saw of the tour were outside venues. I went back...

1988 they used RLs instead of MLs from GK. Also took out some of the chorus. There is a guy on youtube that has captured that 1986 sound quite well and does covers of that album using Adrian's jackson san dimos. Guy from Ireland.

I'm hoping they use the GK 250ML amps... SIT songs don't sound good without its guitar tone. I've seen so many reworks from tribute bands with other equipment and it sounds terrible. Hoping they work out a way to get that tone back.

afraid to shoot strangers is a longer song, which is what they put in its place, likely the most bizarre song swap I've seen them do, ever. It fit just fine being a SSOASS song. What I heard from the conversation is they were not feeling it and ATSS fit with all the gun chaos going on at the...

they rehearsed it up until 2 weeks before the tour, so it was strongly considered.

I know it's a long shot, but Infinite Dreams would be a pleasant surprise.
