Yeah i agree on ID , but not sure about the other deep cuts. No Killers, Phantom, Powerslave just doesn`t add up to better to me. Imagine the meltdown on here too if Maiden only played 10 songs!

That's not a relevant argument though. This is a for-fun gig, not an Iron Maiden concert.
 
well to start with, of course it's a funny comparison (from me) :) but i mean: Nicko's approach here is much cooler. for example choosing parchment (he tells that it's his favorite song from senjutsu) (then how come it didn't get in the 7 songs they played from that album?). or 'no more lies' which havent been played since the first leg of final frontier...

to sum it all: deep cuts, hidden gems work more for me than the usual hits which i heard before from Maiden many times, and all the time in bars and from cover bands etc.

and again: infinite dreams! :)

Each to their own , i like the Parchment but if i`m choosing that or Hell On Earth i would personally choose HOE so i`m pretty happy we got it in 23/24. :ok:

of course i would choose HOE too. but i would also choose Parchment over Death of the Celts for sure! That song killed the mood for 10 minutes on each show I saw. I dont get Maiden, they made great songs with middle east vibes like Nomad and Parchment but then don't play them! + To Tame a Land (only one tour) and of course Alexander (absent till Future Past)... Only Powerslave is an exception.

I would have chosen it over Celts too to be fair. TTAL is still one i hope to see live, unlikely now i guess.
 
Again apples and oranges. If Maiden were to do a fun for them set instead of formulating a setlist to appeal to the masses (for a classics/hits tour) it would be just as varied as Nicko's.
