This is the setlist we got in Dallas and as I mentioned, BTATS and Paschendale were swapped out right after. It is still a good setlist, but I would like to hear the TFF songs live as well. I am hoping on the next US tour with more new material that they do it after the new album is released and play a few TFF songs
The Wicker Man
Ghost of the Navigator
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
El Dorado
(Live Premiere)
Paschendale
The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
These Colours Don't Run
Blood Brothers
(Dedicated to Ronnie James Dio)
Wildest Dreams
No More Lies
Brave New World
Fear of the Dark
Iron Maiden
Encore:
The Number of the Beast
Hallowed Be Thy Name
Running Free
I'll never understand why they feel the need to only release DVDs that have The Trooper, Two Minutes, FOTD, NOTB and RTTH on them every single time.
I completely understand as well, but there has to be some sort of balance struck regarding these "classics". Plus, I'm sure they know that there are still tons of us out there that would buy a DVD without a few of the 7 or 8 staple rotation tunes on them. In fact, maybe we'd be more likely to. A more comprehensive live catalogue surely suits what is undoubtedly the best live band on the planet, regardless of the presence of hit songs in a given setlist.Because of the audience reaction. The crowd singing along to "Fear of the Dark" (and other songs) on Rock in Rio makes it one of the greatest Maiden recordings of all time. It's no secret that a lot of Maiden fans get pissy when they do new album tours.
Please note, this is just my attempt at understanding their reasoning. I love the new album tours, and I am still quite bummed that we don't have a live album from the AMOLAD tour.
