As you scream into the web of silence...
I submitted my setlist prediction for The Future Past Tour in the appropriate thread and I will be standing by it, but I came up with another plausible setlist today that I figured I’d post.
Intro: Blade Runner (End Titles)
1. Days of Future Past
2. Sea of Madness
3. The Trooper
4. The Writing on the Wall
5. Stranger in a Strange Land
6. Lost in a Lost World
7. Heaven Can Wait
8. The Time Machine
9. The Prisoner
10. The Parchment
11. Wasted Years
12. Iron Maiden
ENCORE:
13. The Clairvoyant
14. Hallowed Be Thy Name
15. Alexander the Great
The more I think of it, the more I wonder if "Lost" and "Parchment" are the two Senjutsu epics that get played. They just have the most explosive live energy to me. Additionally, "Fear of the Dark" is usurped by "Wasted Years" as the penultimate main set crowd anthem, and elsewhere "The Prisoner" has replaced TNOTB and "The Clairvoyant" has assumed the fifth classic position left open by FOTD. This is another good setlist that plays around with the expected classics and feels a tad fresher than the other take I had.
Additionally, there's been some talk about a 50th anniversary tour post-TFP. I came up with a possible setlist for it a few weeks ago but never posted it. Here it is:
1. Murders in the Rue Morgue
A throwback to the Beast on the Road Tour.
2. The Trooper
A classic, gotta have it. Hitting the audience with it as the second track ups the excitement.
3. Ghost of the Navigator
One of the most popular BNW songs, a moodier one after the opening rockers.
4. Still Life
A deep cut from POM and one of the songs I'd most like Maiden to dredge up again.
5. Dance of Death
One of the reunion era's most popular epics and a song the band is willing to perform live given the TFF Tour, it makes sense to bring it back.
6. Coming Home
A hard-hitting ballad from the reunion era, would be nice to bring it back here.
7. Total Eclipse
A deep cut from the TNOTB days, following the new vinyl release of the record and the new mix from last year, plus Bruce mentioning how much he likes it, I could see them going for this one.
8. Paschendale
Another DOD epic, but another one that's immensely popular. After only briefly appearing on the TFF Tour, it may not be the band's most logical pick, but it would be awesome to see it live again.
9. The Clairvoyant
Assuming that the TFP setlist I posted above is wrong and it doesn't get played on that tour, it would be cool to see it resurrect here. In case it does get played on that tour, you can swap in an AMOLAD track like "Benjamin Breeg", or a Blaze track like "Lord of the Flies".
10. Brave New World
The title track to Maiden's first reunion release, this is a track they've played on a few different tours beyond the BNW Tour. Makes sense to bring it back here.
11. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Yeah, it's time to play "Rime" again.
12. Fear of the Dark
Duh.
13. Iron Maiden
Duh.
ENCORE
14. Prowler
After going through quite a number of post-reunion tracks, it makes sense to throw ourselves all the way back to the very first Iron Maiden album for the encore. To fully celebrate fifty years of Iron Maiden, "Prowler", its first track, is in.
15. Phantom of the Opera
And following up on this is the band's first epic, foreshadowing everything yet to come.
16. Hallowed Be Thy Name
Finally, what better way to finish the show than with Maiden's most beloved song of all? It worked epically as the closer to the SBIT Tour, and it'll be a fantastic closer here.
There's a pretty nice representation here of songs from throughout Maiden's history, including a strong emphasis on the songs they've done post-reunion. The track breakdown is as follows:
Iron Maiden: 3
Killers: 1
The Number of the Beast: 2
Piece of Mind: 2
Powerslave: 1
Somewhere in Time
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: 1
No Prayer for the Dying
Fear of the Dark: 1
The X Factor
Virtual XI
Brave New World: 2
Dance of Death: 2
A Matter of Life and Death
The Final Frontier: 1
The Book of Souls
Senjutsu
A further breakdown by era:
'80s: 10
'90s: 1
'00s: 5
An anniversary tour like this would be a fantastic next chapter in a string of incredible tours that started with TBOS, was deepened by LOTB, and further exemplified with TFP (assuming that we don't find out that the setlist on Sunday actually sucks). Maiden have been a bit more daring lately and should they do a history tour to celebrate their golden anniversary something like this would be fantastic.

As you scream into the web of silence...
Some talk in the Future Past Tour thread regarding the Early Days Tour got me thinking. Someone mentioned that it would have been cool to have that tour revolve around just the first three Maiden records and save PoM for the SBiTour. So - what if that actually was the case? What if Maiden focused on three albums each tour and went through in chronological order? Here's an attempt at some setlists for these tours.
I tried my best not to be overly reliant on staples. The band can play them on the album tours. We're going to be looking a little deeper into their material, and sometimes that means withholding a song from one tour and saving it for another down the road. (Think along the lines of the current Future Past Tour, and how much more daring it is compared to the setlists from earlier in the post-reunion era.) It was a little hard to get the right balance but I do think these five tour concepts would be pretty damn cool.
Color code:
Beast on the World Tour
We start off with a celebration of the band's original three records. This setlist is a bit of a mixture of what we got on the Eddie Rips Up the World Tour, the setlist from Beast Over Hammersmith, and a deep dive into the band's debut album.
1. Murders in the Rue Morgue (The song's intro doubles as the show intro, like on Beast Over Hammersmith - no segue from "Ides of March".)
2. Another Life
3. Children of the Damned
4. 22 Acacia Avenue
5. Remember Tomorrow
6. Killers
7. Purgatory

Breakdown by album:
Somewhere Back in Time World Tour
The first tour is easy enough to make with only three albums in the mix, but going forward we'll have to dip into a few of the prior records to keep the balance. Obviously this tour will revolve around Piece of Mind, Powerslave, and Somewhere in Time. It's fairly similar to the actual SBiT Tour, but with bigger emphasis on those three albums. I was tempted to include "The Duellists" here, but it was hard to fit in amongst all the longer songs that need to be included, which ended up becoming a rule throughout the rest of this series: no songs featured that weren't played on their original tours.
The first half of the set is very much LAD-inspired, although with "Boots" included instead of "Icarus". I'm assuming here that LOTB is still taking place in this world, so we can save "Icarus" for that. Also avoided CSiT and "Alexander the Great" because I'm also assuming that TFP is happening, and I think it's best to save those for that.
"Where Eagles Dare" is a nice way to segue from the LAD concept into more Somewhere in Time territory - a show of two halves.

Maiden England World Tour
This is kind of a fun one. I think that most of us can agree that the Maiden England Tour was a bit of a letdown in terms of the setlist - a lot of the songs featured on the original Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour were replaced by overplayed staples (and "Infinite Dreams" replaced by "Afraid to Shoot Strangers", weirdly). So the idea here is to revamp it - the emphasis is still on Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, but there's also some tracks from NPFTD and FOTD, and we're also going back to include some tracks we skipped on the previous two tours (which were part of the original STOAST setlist). The end result is a really cool deep cuts heavy setlist that feels way more exciting than the original did.

Out of the Silent World Tour
A tougher setlist to assemble. Obviously the Blaze era isn't one of the band's most popular eras, but connecting it with BNW helps out a bit. The thing about Brave New World, though, is that its first four tracks are its most popular. With this setlist I wanted to actually give OOTSP a proper inclusion, as opposed to an encore position that rarely occurred. This is also the moment where we start to see previously played songs come back in a slightly larger scale than before, to keep the audience's attention throughout.

A Matter of Space and Time Tour
Space, of course, referring to The Final Frontier, and Time referring to Dance of Death. This was probably the most difficult setlist to make because a lot of the songs on these albums are long as hell and one can only include but so many of them. It ended up being a case of three per focus album, and then some classics to keep the flow of the show going. Honestly, better than I expected it to be. I also think it would be interesting having "The Final Frontier" segue in from "Mars, Bringer of War", instead of "Satellite 15". Too much? Ah well. I do like to have fun every now and then.

The Future... Past?
Obviously Maiden have only released two albums after TFF, so the required third is at this point unavailable. I'd be happy to revisit this concept in the future though, should they drop another record. Pipe dreams and what-could-have-beens are just fun ways to spend an afternoon sometimes. But anyways, I'm going to bed.

Out of the Silent World Tour
A tougher setlist to assemble. Obviously the Blaze era isn't one of the band's most popular eras, but connecting it with BNW helps out a bit. The thing about Brave New World, though, is that its first four tracks are its most popular. With this setlist I wanted to actually give OOTSP a proper inclusion, as opposed to an encore position that rarely occurred. This is also the moment where we start to see previously played songs come back in a slightly larger scale than before, to keep the audience's attention throughout.

A Matter of Space and Time Tour
Space, of course, referring to The Final Frontier, and Time referring to Dance of Death. This was probably the most difficult setlist to make because a lot of the songs on these albums are long as hell and one can only include but so many of them. It ended up being a case of three per focus album, and then some classics to keep the flow of the show going. Honestly, better than I expected it to be. I also think it would be interesting having "The Final Frontier" segue in from "Mars, Bringer of War", instead of "Satellite 15". Too much? Ah well. I do like to have fun every now and then.

The Future... Past?
Obviously Maiden have only released two albums after TFF, so the required third is at this point unavailable. I'd be happy to revisit this concept in the future though, should they drop another record. Pipe dreams and what-could-have-beens are just fun ways to spend an afternoon sometimes. But anyways, I'm going to bed.
In the style of The Future Past Tour... The Final Powerslave Tour (The Final Frontier and Powerslave). I used the same setlist structure so I put the list in a spoiler. It's a few minutes too long I think but these are the songs I'd like.

These two albums have a lot of war/religion themes so they fit good together.

A full 80s world tour with songs out of the 5 first Bruce albums will be a dream, if they play some deeper cuts too. I know they did somewhere back in time/ maiden england etc, but I don't think they've ever done this.There will be 5 realms like the ones they had for LOTB, not exactly one per album.

Last Son of The Miracle
Instead of a full 90s celebration tour, I'd like a Future Past-esque half and half tour (or third, third and third, rather): part 90s, part 21st Century, with the remaining slots for classics. Something like this:
- Futureal
- Holy Smoke
- Lord of the Flies
- Revelations
- Wasting Love (less likely option: Coming Home)
- Killers (less likely option: Still Life)
- Dance of Death
- The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
- Sign of the Cross
- Brave New World
- Fear of the Dark
- Iron Maiden
- The Wicker Man
- The Trooper
- Running Free (Don't like it much, but think it fits the set)
