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

Edit: changed my mind

I had to do that. The current setlist is almost perfect.

Piece of Mind isn't represented properly and I tried to fix that. I also much prefer Prowler to Murders and I think it should open this tour in particular. I didn't include Infinite Dreams even though I'd like to hear it live.
I made a few changes also to fix the flow of the set. I've put RTTH earlier so that it'd be easier for Bruce and I've put Clairvoyant together with 7th Son.
