That post was sarcasm, because someone claimed that they wanted to play NPFTD in 2014, which is not true at all. In early 2014, many months before the tour, Bruce stated that he misses playing songs like COTD, Revelations and Powerslave. And that's why Revelations was brought back.Then, it would be possible Maiden to play SIASL and NPFTD on the LOTB tour, isn't it ? + 22AA this 3 songs alone would be a great surprise for the tour.
I hope Bruce to add them to the setlist !
I don't think they'll ever play that one.Maybe the surprise that Dave was talking about for the 2018 tour is that they finally gonna play ATG live !
Empire has more chance to be performed live than ATG.I don't think they'll ever play that one.

Anyway, there is talk on the official forums that Nicko stated to someone during NAMM that they will play songs like FOI (which is pretty much comfirmed already) and WHERE EAGLES DARE.
They both have zero chance.Empire has more chance to be performed live than ATG.
Maybe the ''rumour'' for NPFTD is true - if it has a source !
For me, it has so many better songs than Where Eagles Dare to choose from. I don't quite like it.
Has there been sarcasm in this thread lately?!I wonder if people had their sarcasm detector broken somewhere along the way or they were just born without one.
Probably going to be a common reaction to any rare song they play.For me, it has so many better songs than Where Eagles Dare to choose from. I don't quite like it.
I wonder why they don't see any chances for ATG
You do know whom Philippopolis is named after, don't you?

Sure. But I doubt they will, Alex probably wasn't impressed by it. And the kingdom he was left with was too small for him anyway.You do know whom Philippopolis is named after, don't you?
But where is 'Alexander the Great'?Ok, some time has passed, so there is another go at the setlist (considering some things that were said in the past few months), trying to keep it relistic:
1. The Wicker Man
2. 2 Minutes To Midnight
3. Revelations
4. The Clansman
5. The Trooper
6. Stranger In A Strange Land
7. The Number Of The Beast
8. The Clairvoyant
9. Run To The Hills
10. For The Greater Good Of God
11. Hallowed Be Thy Name
12. Fear Of The Dark
13. Iron Maiden
-----------------------------------
14. Be Quick Or Be Dead
15. The Evil That Men Do
16. Flight Of Icarus
3 surprise songs (FOI, SIASL and BQOBD), 3 "newer" songs (FTGGOG, The Clansman and The Wicker Man), 3 classics (RTTH, Clairvoyant and Revelations), 7 usual suspects (2MTM, Trooper, TNOTB, HBTN, FOTD, IM, TETMD).
Maiden needs to take some notes from Priest's current tour and play some "rare" songs:
Where Eagles Dare
Flight of Icarus
To Tame a land
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
Killers
Purgatory
Genghis Khan
Sea of Madness
Infinite Dreams
But where is 'Alexander the Great'?
