And another thing... Both Nicko and Adrian want to play SIASL again. Nicko picked it as one of 2 songs he wants to play again (along with 22AA), while H said in this interview.

This doesn't mean they will, though. Adrian actually said it's difficult to find a place for SIASL to work in a live set, so I don't think they'll ever play this one.

Maybe in 2026, for the 40th anniversary of Somewhere In Time?

It was the same with Icarus for years...

If it worked in Ed Hunter Tour 99 with all the hits…why wouldn't work now?

Read the interview and see for yourself.

Any word on the best way to preorder Adrian’s book in the U.S.? I can only find e-book preorder options so far, and I’d prefer the hardcover. I don’t need a fancy signed edition.

I answered my own question, Amazon now has preorders for the hardcover available in the U.S.

SIASL would fit into the same spot that Coming Home and The Great Unknown have been placed in recent tours.

It worked to such an extent that they dropped it when Adrian was forced to pause the tour and never reinserted it again.

I don't think that's indicative of anything other than someone who disliked the song (Maidenfans lore/rumors would have you believe it was Steve specifically) seizing the opportunity to cut it from the set since it's definitely a song they can't play without Adrian, and Adrian presumably didn't feel strongly enough about it (or possibly even about his commitment to Maiden) to argue for its re-inclusion after his three missed shows.

would be interesting to hear Janick give a go at H's solo in SIASL

I'm a relatively new poster here - nice to see that others speak sarcasm here

I would be interested to hear it. I don't think Janick would freestyle, he didn't when he had to play Wasted Years.

What is the song that Adrian plays on this fish video? Or it is just a random instrumental for fun..?

I believe it is an instrumental piece by him.
