Maiden Tour 2014 (NO SPOILER TAGS, ENTER AT OWN RISK)

At the very least, it would be nice to see a few others that haven't been played since the tour for the album they're from such as To Tame A Land, Flight Of Icarus, Caught Somewhere In Time, Sea Of Madness, Stranger In A Strange Land, Infinite Dreams, and some of the 90's songs too. I'd kill to hear Look For The Truth and Lightning Strikes Twice with Bruce singing.
 
They switched between playing Paschendale and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns on the first few gigs, then dropped both and played Wrathchild.
 
No, they switched between Paschendale and Dance Of Death for first few weeks, and later settled on the latter song. They replaced Brighter Than A Thousand Suns with Wrathchild after the first gig.
 
Alexander The Great could be pretty nice, with Bruce reciting the "My son ask for thyself another kingdom...." bit while there is some wind sound effects on the PA and what not...sorta like what they did when he recited the Anthem For Doomed Youth poem before Paschendale in 2003. But yeahhh, good luck on that ever happening.

Yea, and I remember the few Paschendale performances being pretty rough. Lots of mistakes, the band not coming in at the same time..I even remember seeing one video on youtube where they ended the song early.
 
Yup, I remember that too. They had some issues during the intro...

And I guess for Brighter they thought the show lacked some energy so they swapped it with Wrathchild.
 
Yea, I don't think BTATS is completely off the table for future tours. It seems like they just dropped it because three 00's songs in a row was too much for the majority of the crowds. <_<
 
Yeah...although the order: Ghost of The Navigator, Brighter, El Dorado, Dance of Death...is also a rather lengthy segment of songs. But they could have chosen another upbeat song than Wrathchild of course :)

Stranger in a Strange Land was actually played in 1999 and Flight of Icarus made it in 86/87 set on Somewhere on Tour but that was in 1987! I agree though with every choice. Every song you mentioned needs to be brought back to life along with The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Purgatory and maybe Sign of the Cross again :) If they bring them back, keep Janick away from the solos.... let him just do rhythm guitar. He f*cks up every solo that Dave and Adrian do when he tries to play it at the same time. Really was annoying on Rock in Rio

I love Janick, don't get me wrong, but, I swear the poor guy is up there just playing air guitar for 90 percent of the time! :)
