Out of the Silent Planet
1- only 2 Minutes and Revelations, I guess. Maybe Powersalve too. 2- Infinite Dreams, To Tame A Land, Only The Good Die Young... Bruce always speaks highly of the Killers album and said recently that there are many songs he likes to play live from the ones that have never been played, like Nicko said about more deep cuts in the future.
Rime is certain imo. The longer songs for the tour could be: Rime, Seventh Son and To Tame A Land. Imagine! Like the longer songs for the current tour. They're all old songs, but it wouldn't be that big of a surprise for all three to be featured in the same set. Ok, at least two of them. Including Infinite Dreams, why not.
One song I expect to be played is Brave New World (ofc I would also like a deep cut from this album).
Ofc this will be a factor, but I think the band will want to make the setlist even more interesting than the current TFP one (at least probably 3/4 surprises), including ofc playing some/most of the usual classics like Number, 2 Minutes or Wrathchild, and especially because the set this year won't be changed.
They could use LOTB formula with the worlds, but I think they'd be with themes again, not from albums (PS, 7thSon, BNW) - because they might play some songs from other albums that fit those albums and scenery, but the stage sets will be repeated, again. No chance. I doubt they would use the LOTB formula, but who knows. As always, the band will find a way to make something special, especially for this big big(!) anniv.
Well said.As for setlist, I'd say LOTB set(s) are rather good indicator of the most likely "era spread"; majority of the setlist will be from the golden years, with some very welcome returning show centerpieces in the vein of Powerslave and Rime of the Ancient Mariner. 2 Minutes to Midnight might make its return as well and I'd expect slightly heavier Seventh Son coverage than on the previous tours. I'd also guess that something like Flight of Icarus and/or Phantom of the Opera have a solid chance to reappear. Given the heavy Senjutsu coverage of late, I think that any "modern" stuff will be 1-2 songs of the already-classics from Brave New World and/or Dance of Death. In other words, I doubt that any 2010-2021 stuff will be played, unless The Writing on the Wall becomes a semi staple (which I wouldn't mind)! As for 90's, I wouldn't rule out one slight surprise in the vein of Afraid to Shoot Strangers to make it. The Clansman would be most obvious, but assuming there will be a handful of more "epic" tracks already, I think they might go with a somewhat lighter cut. I'm always down for more Sign of the Cross, but I doubt it'd be featured, especially if Rime and possibly some other 80's show centerpiece will be there. Futureal was in the speculation for the Future Past tour and while that has absolutely nothing to do with whatever they'll come up with for 2025, I think its odds have somewhat improved if they want to go with a fast-paced, classics-esque opener that is relatively merciful for Nicko. So, given that they'll most likely play 15 songs and Fear of the Dark & Iron Maiden are cemented in any case, I think it's very likely that we'll get some very, very pleasant inclusions and a few "they missed that chance again..." instances. Nothing is perfect etc.
Why not, Lord Of The Flies is an easy song and would fit for a 50th anniv tour.
This.
Agreed.
