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!

The announcement doesn't say anything like "there will be no further dates--" so I'd say a handful of additions are totally possible! :)

(quoted from the speculation thread) Well that's the thing; what would be truly "proper" 50 years celebration? Even a truly discography spanning set would have some significant omissions in basically every scenario and while I understand and can get behind the love and hunger towards wider...

Given the time period this set seems to be covering, isn't it basically a Real Live! history tour... :p Anyway, I understand that a lot of people here wished for a more discography-spanning setlist approach, but the main focus would've been on 80's anyway and there is no way - like absolutely...

Dave's of Future Past Cool! Imagine the tour poster! :wub:

The Prisoner in Sydney. Wow. Very strong performance! Nice groove and Bruce absolutely nails it.

I guess that depends on how we want to define Greatest Hits... :p A few people remember that retrospectively speaking one of the biggest, if not the biggest Greatest Hits tour the band has done with the current line-up was actually The Final Frontier world tour 2010-11! Save Brighter Than a...

I know you meant tour/set ideas, but taken out the context, that's rather good one..! ;)

Just my opinion of course, but I have never been a fan of this idea. It would absolutely make sure that there's a could of very interesting cuts, but I think it also limits the possibilities with certain material too much. For example, as much as I like most songs on (e.g) The Final Frontier...

:) I actually liked this second single a lot. It's not absolutely mind-blowing, but I love its somewhat uneasy, grinding vibe a lot and overall, I quite like it! I still have the same opinion on Perfume of the Timeless... which was not really having an opinion about it. I say it again: sounds...

Damn, Caught Somewhere in Time sounds so good! Nicko is able to keep it together, Bruce's voice just soars so beautifully and those guitars... insanely beautiful! Above there's lots of discussion about the next set and Nicko's ability to perform certain songs. I agree with the most that there...

Referring to the interview above, I think it's kind of sweet how, over time, Bruce has softened up towards Somewhere in Time and has expressed, and is expressing, great enthusiasm towards songs like Stranger in a Strange Land and Alexander the Great and meanwhile Steve also confesses his love...

Maiden posted on social media that there is a chance to win a signed setlist or a vinyl by scanning those "Fan cards" they're giving at shows. The post had a picture of the singed setlist. Reading the comments... inspired me. ;)

I don't particularly care if he's not sounding as good as, for example, in 2018 or 2008. I agree that his voice tends to get a bit tired and more strained towards the end of the show, but he's singing most of it very, very well and he can absolutely do justice to the material they're playing...

That surprised: In addition to: Yeah. :D Frankly, I'm quite happy that they keep doing this rather amazing set. I checked out some of the YouTube clips @onurb posted; pretty good! Bruce sounds very good. I might be in the minority with this view, but I absolutely love Days of Future Past and I...

It is certainly true that the Maiden management hasn't pushed to upscale the live production etc. but then again... so what? At this point, I honestly doubt that getting significantly bigger in the US is on their agenda. It certainly was, or might have been not too long ago (SBIT-TFF-ME runs)...

I definitely agree with you that the 2015 remasters are, in general, pretty good and certainly a lot better effort than the 1998 ones. I have always liked The X-Factor, but the 2015 remaster certainly gives it a bit beefier sound, which is very welcome. It's obviously not a mind-blowing...
