It's not too early, right? Right..? Well I suppose it's ever too early for speculating and guessing the setlist of the Run For Your Lives world tour! With LOTB, a similar thread & contest was opened relatively close to the first date of the tour, but for Future Past tour 2023 we started as...

Fear of the Dark backdrop during Alexander, oops. :D

“50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them! - Rod Smallwood Maybe they'll finally play The Sheriff of Huddersfield live. I think Bruce's Rod impressions are rather good. ;)

Personally, I think not having any deep cuts (depending on where we draw that line) is, kind of, a bit less likely than the set having 1-3 deep cuts. Again, it probably depends on what we consider as deep cuts, but even if they go with a very standard and stale setlist approach, it would still...

Ah, indeed..! Thanks for reminding me. I can definitely see why the rumour sparked then.

That's fair, but was that an actual rumour based on... well, something, or just a hunch due to Samurai theme and such? Would've been great fit, no doubt! Just wondering whether this is an actual rumour and hence a slight add up to the possibility of the song being even considered for the live...

Sun and Steel again... Oh well, I suppose it is possible... ;) I just don't see why it, out of all the songs, would suddenly pop up, especially given the amount of setlist candidates that are somewhat similar type of songs and sheer amount of more likely options from Piece of Mind; Flight of...

Yeah, that's true as well. Personally, whether they'd skip No Prayer altogether or played Bring Your Daughter.... to the Slaughter isn't much of a dealbreaker for either way, but of course it'd be cool to see that album to get some setlist representation after a while. Then again, I'd prefer a...

I understand it as the setlist scope being the time period of the first nine albums, but not all of them being represented in the set. No Prayer being the most likely one to be skipped. That being said, I think it's just as likely that Bring Your Daughter will be played; just not "confirmed" per se.

Happy birthday Sir @Perun! :hbd:

Yeah, that's fair! I just don't see Sun and Steel as that viable option for the set, given the amount of 80's singles and other major classics and massive songs like Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Like, why it'd be a strong candidate? Piece of Mind already has loads of more likely, and frankly...

Honestly, not that much. I think the whole Sun and Steel live debut speculation sparked from Bruce's book where he wrote about the song rather elaborately and the first LOTB poster having that swordsmith stained glass art, which was guessed to represent Sun and Steel, but was eventually hinting...

I most certainly will! :)

One of my favourites is the 2014 tour announcement: "– As all our fans know, Maiden England is Part 3 in the History Trilogy of the 1980s video/DVD releases so this is likely to be the last time we will tour with a set list based on the ‘80s, and therefore the last time fans will EVER hear some...

I'm not saying that they will play it, but I think skipping it for Maiden England run doesn't mean quite as much now as it, perhaps, did in the past. I mean, Future Past tour happened with Alexander's live debut and the return of Stranger in a Strange Land, although the latter was omitted on...

That's fair. Then again, this kind of tour rotation isn't anything too new. Future Past can be viewed as a "album tour" for Senjutsu and hence another history/hits tour is business as usual. It is cabaret in a way, but nothing unexpected and well in line with what they've done previously. Again...

History was made when Alexander the Great had its live debut for the Future Past tour and I would argue that it's not exactly played to death yet. :D Like, they probably won't play it next year, but I don't think it'd be an absolutely terrible idea nor would I be sad or disappointed if they do...

I think it's fair to at least consider it as pretty much a possible and/or a realistic scenario, since the Iron Maiden setlist approach has been relatively fresh for the past few tours. I mean, your "extremely sceptical guess" might end up being very close to what we'll eventually get, but I...

Please, Moonchild! :wub: But yeah, in any case, the question of the opening track (among all the other things) is highly interesting one!
