Bruce - “That will involve, I would say, 90 per cent of this set going in the bin. There’s so much to do, so many possibilities. It's really quite exciting.”

I'm glad that they're unwilling to settle into a cabaret act and are seemingly thinking about fresh and exciting themes for future tours.

With Bruce having the biggest say in the sets now, it's exciting to think about more different and deep cuts from all eras. Good to hear this. ''So much to do''! Hmm. New album, Reunion era songs, more deep cuts. Maybe the next tour could indeed be with more ''rare'' songs. 90% means just Iron Maiden and Fear Of The Dark.

Well, The Trooper isn't going anywhere either, so that one is safe to assume as well. Then there's stuff like TETMD, an obvious classic, that took an extended break. It's due for a return. Fan-favourites that were played on LOTB like Revelations or The Wicker Man/Blood Brothers have good chances as well. So, I wouldn't expect something that is just deep cut after deep cut. There's still a lot of "safe" material that isn't played on the current tour.

That said, TFP was super unorthodox, and it was awesome because of that. I have faith that we'll see some interesting choices in the coming years.
