Careful, better use spoiler tags if you don't want to be banned.

Two songs changed from Dallas.

There were many gigs between Dallas and Dublin.
These changes took place a looooong time ago.
 
Barruel, that is the standard setlist because it was played about a dozen times, the two songs that were played during the first few shows were subsequently replaced. You should also read the forum rules, any setlist information should be inserted between the SPOILER tags, otherwise you'll get banned. Edit: Ok, you fixed it. :ok:

@ Forostar, my winamp playlist says that the setlist is around 1h 37min long
(all studio versions except Wrathchild and Iron Maiden from Rock In Rio and Running Free from Live After Death)
, together with the intro, Bruce's speeches and the encore break, it could run to around 1h 50min... Close enough to 2 hours...

Ok. I looked at Dallas' setlist because I thought Maiden kept their regular no-setlist-changes custom in the whole american leg of the tour. I'm glad I was mistaken.

As for the spoiler tag, I've already fixed it.
 
Well, most of the tours they actually experiment with a song or two for the first couple of shows and decide if the set flows well or not. After that, they establish a setlist and don't change it for the rest of the tour.

A good example (apart from this tour) would be the Early Days tour, they played Charlotte the Harlot for the first 2 gigs, or the Ed Hunter tour where they removed Stranger in a Strange Land after a few shows.

I think this was a bit of a "special" move. Adrian left that tour for three gigs, because he had to hurry home since his father died. On these gigs, Stranger In A Strange Land was not played. When H came back, it did not return to the set.

This is just a theory, but I can imagine that Adrian himself decided that this song (with its somewhat sensitive, emotional instrumental part) should not return (might have to do with his the loss of his father) rather than Steve or the band decided this. That would be rude: "Adrian, how was the funeral, we decided to get rid of your song and we think it should not return."
