Joining in on the RFYL remodelling
Edit: changed my mind
1. Murders in the Rue Morgue
2. Purgatory
3. Wrathchild
4. Killers
5. Phantom of the Opera
6. Transylvania
7. Two Minutes to Midnight
8. Powerslave
9. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
10. Infinite Dreams
11. The Clairvoyant
12. Bring Your Daughter . . . to the Slaughter
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden
15. The Number of the Beast
16. Run to the Hills
17. Hallowed be thy Name
After much seething over the absence of a certain song, it occurred to me that the existing setlist is actually not too bad. Furthermore, it also struck me as a bit of a "best of the history tours package" for an even younger generation (given that the Early Days tour was 20 years ago). As such, I remodelled it along loose chronological lines, segueing from Early Days to SBIT/LAD to Maiden England in three distinct sections, with the basic NOTB stuff confined to the encore (and Hallowed never fails as a closer).
I deliberately gave more time to the earlier content, based on Simon Dawson's apparent Clive-yness (and the Early Days tour being the oldest). From this, I added a song off each Dianno album at the expense of the Wasted Years and Aces High - Transylvania is instantly recognisable depite not being played live since the 90s, and Purgatory is an indulgent deep cut (one of my favourites off Killers).
The inverse of this is a comparatively smaller showing for the Maiden England content (being the most recent history tour); Clairvoyant stays, but with all the runtime Seventh Son had to go (and besides Infinite Dreams is my all-time favourite). The 6 minutes saved would do Bruce and the boys some good at their age.
What do we think?
Edit - subbed out Trooper for Bring Your Daughter. Figured NPFTD needed some love
