That is a fantastic setlist, with a nice combination of deep cuts, classics, and great (relatively) recent songs. Well done!

Well, were you to compare, for example, Fugitive and Starblind, you might see the simplicity creeping in over the years…
Well even Starblind consists of two different tempos for over 7 minutes worth of music....now go back a couple of years and bring e.g To tame a land in mind.

Well...I can't really say I look forward to it as it signals the end of the set, right? lol
But the way the song is structured it is the perfect for the appearance of the "big" Eddie, plus the title is the band's namesake. It's a good song to say "Good Night" with. Yeah, I've heard it a million times - but I still like it!
What other short rocker would be a good one for Eddie and to end the set with you think?

Well, that would have been better than the church artwork on the drums ! It could be for ATG, I dunno, but that Edward The Great Eddie is amazing.
btw, why you use spoilers

Could be Ghost but it is so damn repetitive and never ending through out the song! I think you gotta give me that

Wow! I love your setlist but I seriously doubt Maiden would ever do this....
Great set. You missed off AtG though...

Yup, I think he took one for the team with that.

Exactly the AtG of the game.
Clearly, one's set list expectation not coming true does not just mean that one's expectation is groundless, as was suggested by some people here by the time AtG did not appear.

So, what replaced ATG if they did plan to play it? There are only a few candidates:
Aces, WED, Clansman, Trooper, Revelations, FTGGOG, SOTC, FOI, TNOTB and RTTH all have too big of a production to be last minute replacements (new backdrops).
2MTM, FOTD and IM were newer going to be dropped.
That leaves: Wicker Man (It's the old backdrop from 2010/11), TETMD and HBTN.

Great lyrics? And, pray tell, what is the meaning of those lyrics?
Really, there's nothing great about
"All the oxygen that trapped us in
A carbon spider's web.
Solar winds are whispering, you
May hear the sirens of the dead.
Let the elders to their parley
Meant to satisfy our lust.
Leaving Damocles still hanging
Over all their promised trust."
That's graphomania, all right.

That picture has fuck all to do with the AtG from the game.

Yeah, I read that. But that's very far-fetched interpretation. The lyrics are nonsensical for the most part.
Most of the song meanders between absolutely out-of-the-left-field imagery and quasi-antireligious statements. And it's not even interconnected in any meaningful way. The former more or less fits with Bruce's "let's be poetic" approach that annoys me, because, well, he says nothing in very pretty words and the latter annoys me even more, because this "Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions" and "Religion Is Bad, Humanity Was Wrong All the Time, I Found the Real Truth!" is something that really disappoints me in such a talented and intelligent bloke as Bruce, especially when 1.) it's obvious he knows nothing about actual religion, really and 2.) his stellar accusation is as insane as the song at hand.
He's not using literary allusions (well, yeah, sword of Damocles, but even that's not used in any meaningful way), he doesn't say anything substantial. I'd rather take Epica's antireligion rants, at least they stress some good points and despite they also sometimes remind me of a fifth-grader that stumbled across his first Thesaurus, it rarely obscures their message and the meaning of the song at hand. Or Dylan, who with his jelly-faced women who sneeze while geez, he can't find his knees at least doesn't take himself that seriously. But really, "carbon spider's web"?
