Legacy of the Beast 2018 Tour

[Poto]

It is above Eddie, but it's pretty specific. I don't think a wolf in clothing can represent anything else than FTGGOG in Maiden world.

It's even more specific. There is the wolf in clothing, blood and a shed (bloodshed) and a cross. It's so obvious that it's FTGGOG. And then we have the light switch and a night sky = Fear of the Dark. The navigation tool could be either ROTAM or Ghost of the Navigator. I'm leaning toward GOTN.

 

[Brigantium]

Either ROTAM or Ghost of the Navigator would be welcome here.

 

[Black Wizard]

It would be great too see 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' but at just short of 14 minutes long we could have two other "rarities" instead. I don't know which I'd prefer.

 

[Shavasku]

No news at all? Come on, Maiden. At least one picture from rehearsals.

 

[Diesel 11]

More surprise hypothesis: They’ll open with Trumpets of Jericho before seguing into Wrathchild.

Good night.

 

[Kalata]

hmmmm... I wonder if any other song besides Wrathchild from the Killers album have a chance to be played live - maybe the title track or MITRM (or a wild guess, Purgatory ) though, I do not like the Bruce version of it from '81, which is the last time they play it live)

Interesting fact is that according to setlist.fm (https://www.setlist.fm/stats/iron-maiden-3bd6803c.html) Drifter is the 16th most played song...

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

I doubt they'll play songs from the first two albums that weren't played on the Early Days tour or more recently. That means the options are Murders, Another Life, Wrathchild, and Drifter.

 

[mepatrik1]

If they play Drifter, i will leave the show immediately.

 

[GhostofCain]

If they play Drifter, i will leave the show immediately.

If they were to play Drifter (highly unlikely), I would not leave the show but would think that they could have played over a hundred songs that are much better...

 

[Whooten]

If they play Drifter it would very likely be as the last encore and you would have to leave after it was over.

@mepatrik1 was suggesting leaving the show while they were playing the song and that is what I replied too. I would stay, but scratching my head with a WTF look on my face.

 

[GroundZero]

Drifter is much better live with Bruce than the studio version, I would love to see it instead of Wasted Years on the encores.

 

[Shavasku]

I would be happy with ANYTHING considered rare (as drifter is). Even Weekend Warrior or The Apparition.

 

[Srogyy]

The biggest crime of Drifter is that it wastes a perfectly good intro.

 

[mepatrik1]

I'm just kidding. Of course, i would stay too, but in my opinion, it's one of their worst songs.

A setlist like this would make me 100% mad, because it would be essentially "more of the same".

But nah, it won't happen. Too many TBOS songs and I don't think we will have any of TBOS.

I think you over estimate the band' desire to play some of the tracks that haven' featured for so long. We have the want they genuinely dont.

I love 'Drifter' and would love to see it live. I seriously doubt they'll put it in the setlist, but it probably has more chance than 'Alexander the Great'.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

At this point, Women In Uniform has more chance than ATG.

Worth noting the band viewed 2005 tour as a "closure" for a range of songs that they never intended to play in 2005 let alone ever again. Drifter murders remember tomorrow prowler being examples.
