Dream Bruce Dickinson setlist

[LooseCannon]

At this stage, if Bruce did a solo tour with nothing but Dive Dive Dive 15 times, we should be glad to see it.

 

[Diesel 11]

We should all be able to agree that “Devil On A Hog” is the worst song on TOS.

Sorry Jer, I can't help liking that one. It's a dark hard rock jam with a really good chorus that fits well on the album... in my view at least.

 

[Kalata]

If I had to do a setlist for TOS album tour, something like this would have been great:

The Magician is the odd song in here. Heard it on my local metal radio station the other day, the people on air even commented that it was a really cool song.

Do people actually not like that song?

 

[Jer]

Yes. But @Diesel 11 apparently thinks it’s high-falootin’ poetry.

Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you...

I quite like that song.

I think it's great. It would be great for an encore. I wouldn't even be upset if Maiden played it. It's a better option than Running Free or Sanctuary IMO.

 

[Diesel 11]

The Magician is great, both live and in studio. Awesome crowd-participation thing.

Sink it slow, Seaman Staines. Sink it deep.

Consider yourself discharged.

15.Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter (Bruce Dickinson cover of an Iron Maiden cover of a Bruce Dickinson song)

Fixed it for you!

 

[Spambot]

Small club, aprox. 500 people, Skunkworks in full, from Space Race to Innerspace.
After that, they bring a couple of bar stool on stage and do acoustic version of "slower" songs (Tears of a Dragon, Born in '58, Jerusalem, Navigate the Seas of Sun etc.).
I would pay big bucks to see this. Big bucks.

 

[Diesel 11]

Skunkworks in full, from Space Race to Innerspace.

And no “Strange Death In Paradise”?

 

[Spambot]

And no “Strange Death In Paradise”?

Bruce would leave that one for the acoustic part that comes after.

 

[Randalf]

These things are really, really bad guilty pleasure of mine...

Just an optimistic outline of what kind of set one could expect Bruce to do if he ever did any kind of solo tour again. Obviously, it doesn't look like he'll do, but if he did, in the alternative universe, it might have turned out (or it will turn out... ;D) into something like... this?

Intro: Toltect 7 Arrival
1. Starchildren
2. Accident of Birth
3. Kill Devil Hill
4. Inertia
5. Navigate the Seas of the Sun
6. The Chemical Wedding
7. The Magician
8. Jerusalem
9. Innerspace / The Tower / Acoustic: Revelations / O God of Earth and Altar (hymn version with slight changes)
10. Tyranny of Souls / The Book of Thel / Gods of War / something
11. Tears of a Dragon
12. Darkside of Aquarius
13. Laughing in the Hiding Bush

Encore:
14. Sacred Cowboys / Road to Hell
15. Born in '58
16. Delilah

 

[TheTalisman]

Propably his solo version of If Eternity Should Fail would be played.

Good point! The one above is built with little TOS focus on mind, didn't really think about the upcoming album.

Then you should also add Abduction, which is mandatory + Power Of The Sun, River Of No Return/Soul Intruders.

If things went down differently and Bruce actually did a couple of solo gigs somewhere between TOS release and today, I doubt he'd rehearsed that many "new" songs with the (whatever line-up that might be) band. There are certain favourites that would undoubtedly be played and since it wouldn't be a proper TOS tour anyway, I'd believe he would have stick with two or three album highlights.
