May I ask, how did we learn about the original Daniel?

I think we have a spy, among us, Maiden fans. Spy, from the band's pr department. Regarding original Daniel, I don't remember for sure. If I remember correctly, there was one poster who was well informed (messenger from the band). In other words, they throw clues and make sure we will found them.

Weren't the Compass Point studios in Nassau supposed to be closed since the late nineties ?
They did record The Final Frontier there in 2010. The studio was on its last legs and closed shortly after that.

So you say we have an impostor among us?
Hmm so the og Daniel was posted on the FC forums?

I think at most the encore could be:
Alexander The Great
Stranger In A Strange Land
Wasted Years
But everything else will be heavily based on Senjutsu.

I think someone over at the FC found the account, it became active the same day Bruce went on Sky News complaining about brexit while wearing the Belshazzar's Feast shirt.
Edit: One week before Bruce was on tv actually!

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Hoho, that is definitely very much, and in this case tour would be heavy in SIT material.

I wonder if he was meant to tease new music at all, but since no one picked up on the hints from earlier Bruce ended up doing a speech about brexit, talking about his talkshow and teasing new Maiden in two minutes. It was the weirdest thing looking back at it.Oh the irony!

It was an absolute car crash.

I think they were more than one. Someone even wrote the word ''senjutsu'' way before the official release, but we didn't pay attention to it because it was so obscure for Maiden, iirc.
It was the weirdest thing indeed and I think it was planned. I wouldn't say that no one picked up on the hints from earlier (Bruce hinted at new music soon, band members were spotted in Paris, the info from a former member of Bruce's band was before his appearance on TV... I can't remember if there were more), it's just that the Belshazzar's feast poster was so confusing for everyone.

"found" or was it purposefully posted?

I am not talking about the album being recorded, but about the Belshazzar's Feast stuff they did. The hints started the Download weekend but no one noticed until Bruce went on Sky News.

It was found by a fan, so probably not purposefully posted. I think the daniel account was tweeting to Frank Turner and someone noticed.

True. But still... 3 songs is not much compared to likely 6 from Senjutsu.

It's the Senjutsu tour. Compare it to the likely same old 3 from The Number of the Beast.
I would love to see some SIT rareties on the next tour, but not at the expense of the new album material.

A few songs from SIT next year is very possible, but I wonder if they will make slight changes to the stage set just for them (if they are played back to back, ofc). I don't think they will want to have another busy stage production right after LOTB.
Btw, I think Somewhere Back In Time tour stage set should have been a modern version of the 1986 one.
These (let's say) 3 SIT songs could be in the place of some often played classics like Run To The Hills, 2 Minutes, Evil That Men Do, even TNOTB (like they did for TBOS tour).
I agree with your second sentence, but only if the song is not Alexander The Great.

That sounds pretty good.
