Create your own Iron Maiden setlist!

Difficult to choose, but my setlist would be:
1). Be Quick Or Be Dead
2). Revelations
3). Sea of Madness
4). The Trooper
5). Phantom of the Opera
6). Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
7). These Colours Don't Run
8). The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
9). Paschendale
10). Dance of Death
11). Rime of the Ancient Mariner
12). Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
13). Fear of the Dark
14). The Wicker Man
15). Iron Maiden
ENCORE
16). 2 Minutes to Midnight
17). The Number of the Beast
18). Run to the Hills
19). Drifter
20). Hallowed Be Thy Name

A #2 setlist (probably because I like a lot of songs) this was selected randomly by album:
1). Aces High
2). Remember Tomorrow
3). The Duellists
4). The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner
5). Ghost of the Navigator
6). Out of the Shadows
7). To Tame a Land
8). Mother Russia
9). Lord of the Flies
10). The Prisoner
11). Sea of Madness
12). Brave New World
13). Purgatory
14). Fear of the Dark
15). Iron Maiden
ENCORE
16). The Red and the Black
17). Lord of Light
18). The Legacy
19). The Number of the Beast
20). Hallowed Be Thy Name

1. Prowler
2. Killers
3. Hallowed be thy name
4. Revelations
5. Powerslave
6. Caught Somewhere in Time
7. Infinite Dreams
8. No Prayer for the Dying
9. Fear of the Dark

11. Futureal
12. Ghost of the Navigator
13. Rainmaker
14. The Legacy
15. Iron Maiden
Encore
16. El Dorado
17. If Eternity Should Fail
18. Hell on Earth
It was so difficult to pick a POM, SIT and SSOASS song. Also, the encore was difficult to pick. Hell on Earth was obvious and it's probably my favourite reunion song. The other 2 are there, because I had to pick a song from each album to play by my self imposed rules.

If you ditch the chronological order, IMO it's quite feasible. I'd go as far as saying it would be a great concept instead of the RFYL tour, if they based the whole thing on "hits". Something like this (not in this order, for sure):

Sanctuary
Wrathchild
The Number Of The Beast
The Trooper
2 Minutes To Midnight
Wasted Years
The Evil That Men Do
Bring Your Daughter To The Salughter
Fear Of The Dark
Sign Of The Cross
The Clansman
The Wicker Man
Dance Of Death
These Colors Don't Run
El Dorado
Death Or Glory
The Writing On The Wall

... and Iron Maiden, of course. Despite being 18 tracks, it's not too lengthy by any stretch. And the special focus on hits would give that half century anniversary commemoration vibe (something I believe the RFYL tour will be based upon, too).

I call this one " The Best case scenario RFYL setlist". I tried to fit all my personal favourite songs, while keeping all the "must play" hits. Being as realistic as possible, I didn't include many songs from my favourite record (SIT) because it won't happen.
1. Moonchild ( I didn't know what opener to pick so I just went with my favourite, except CSIT of course )
2. Prowler
3. 22 Acacia Ave
4. The Trooper
5. Infinite Dreams
6. Phantom of the Opera
7. Revelations ( I will be happy with Where Eagles Dare or any other POM song instead. Love all of them)
8. Powerslave ( I just picked it to avoid 2 mins and Aces High. I love this track.)
9. Killers
10. Still Life
11. The Evil that Men Do/ The Clairvoyant ( 1 of them is certain)
12. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
13. Wasted Years ( I played it safe here. I hope it's Loneliness or CSIT or Alex again)
14. Fear of the Dark
15. Iron Maiden
Encore
16. The Number of the Beast
17. Hallowed be thy Name
18. Run to the Hills ( these last 5 literally can't be skipped)
I think it's possible to hear at least 4-5 of the non-bold ones and I'd be a happy man. I went with 18 songs, because I chose a lot of shorter ones, but probably it will be 16-17 at most songs, but still there is room for 4-5 of my favourites. I can only hope.
 
Had a thought of if the timeline were different and Bruce hadn't gotten cancer you'd be looking at a 2015-2016 Book of Souls tour. 2017 comes around and they wanted to do a duel anniversary tour. 25 years of Fear and 35 years of TNOTB. Hyped up as having six songs from each album, some other assorted old songs not necessarily done in awhile and maybe a newish one.

'The Fear of the Beast Tour 2017-2018'
1. Be Quick or Be Dead
2. Judas Be My Guide
3. Killers
4. Phantom of the Opera
5. Total Eclipse
6. From Here to Eternity
7. The Prisoner
8. Afraid to Shoot Strangers
9. Wasting Love
10. 22 Acacia Avenue
11. Dance of Death
12. The Evil That Men Do (Walking Fear Eddie)
13. Run to the Hills
14. Hallowed Be Thy Name
15. Iron Maiden (Big Devil LotB Eddie)
====================
16. The Trooper
17. Fear of the Dark
18. The Number of the Beast (Walking 1982 Eddie)

I got only one question: "can Fear Eddie walk?"
 
Today is the 25th Anniversary of Brave New World (you all know that). So, let's make Brave New World Anniversary setlists. It has to contain 6 at least BNW songs. I'll try to make it a bit realistic and also include some of my favourites, too.

2. Ghost of the Navigator
3. Brave New World
4. Futureal
5. The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
6. The Trooper
7. Still Life
8. Dream of Mirrors
9. The Evil that Men Do
10. Revelations
11. Powerslave
12. The Fallen Angel
13. Hell on Earth
14. Iron Maiden

Encore
15. Hallowed be thy Name
16. Out of the Silent Planet
17. Wasted Years

Blood Brothers should be included honestly, but I can't stand it.

IM: 1
TNOTB: 1
POM: 3
PS: 1
SIT: 1
SSOASS: 1
VXI: 1

I'll add some "must plays" to the list (Trooper, TNOTB, RTTH, 2MTM, FOTD) just to give a bit more realism to the whole thing. As for BNW's tunes I'll simply pick my 6 favorites:

Say the pandemic didn't happen and the band stuck with the timeline of Legacy of the Beast wrapping in 2020 and Senjutsu Tour going from 2021-2022 (assumed it's a two-year tour.) The band decided to continue with a Somewhere in Time-themed tour with a focus on both the album and a smattering of songs they hadn't covered on previous history tours.

'Wasted Years World Tour 2023-2024'
1. Caught Somewhere in Time
2. Stranger in a Strange World
3. 2 Minutes to Midnight
4. Infinite Dreams
5. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
6. Sea of Madness
7. The Number of the Beast
8. Killers
9. Heaven Can Wait
10. Alexander the Great
11. Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden
===================
14. Be Quick or Be Dead
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name
16. Wasted Years

What if Maiden did something similar to Metallica's double gigs in every city. 2 days, differenet setlist. Iron Maiden setlists would be the same for every city, I guess. So, I tried to make a 2-day setlist.
DAY 1

1. Aces High
2. Wrathchild
3. 22 Acacia Avenue
4. Prowler
5. Dance of Death
6. Powerslave
7. Revelations
8. Sign of the Cross
9. The Evil that Men Do
10. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
11. Flight of Icarus
12. Alexander the Great
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden
========================
15. Moonchild
16. The Clairvoyant
17. Run to the Hilss

DAY 2

1. Caught Somewhere in Time
2. Futureal
3. Ghost of the Navigator
4. Infinite Dreams

10. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
11. Stranger in a Strange Land
12. Out of the Silent Planet
13. Hell on Earth
14. Iron Maiden
========================
15. The Number of the Beast
16. Hallowed be thy Name
17. Wasted Years
I thought Iron Maiden is the only song that should be played twice and also most of the hits have to be played. The only one I excluded is 2 mins because I can't stand it. Maybe Madness counts too. Of course I wanted to include many other songs, like Sanctuary/Running Free, Purgatory, OTGDY, WED, Tame, SSOASS, Clansman, BQOBD, Dream of Mirrors, These Colours don't run , BTATS, Montsegur, Paschendale, Talisman, BoS, Stratego and many more...
 
If Senjutsu had an exclusevely dedicated tour:
  1. Senjutsu
  2. Stratego
  3. The Writing On The Wall
  4. Infinite Dreams
  5. The Trooper
  6. Days Of Future Past
  7. Powerslave
  8. Genghis Khan
  9. Stranger In A Strange Land
  10. Phantom Of The Opera
  11. Still Life
  12. Fear Of The Dark
  13. The Number Of The Beast
  14. Iron Maiden
