Songs like Suns, Book, Montségur, Starblind, Thin Line, Legacy, Face In The Sand are really challenging for Bruce.

None of those, with the exception of Montsegur is more challenging than CSIT, so don't think that is a problem. Would actually love to heat TBOS with current Bruce.

Well it's not exactly on the top of my wishlist, but I'd never say "no" for The Wicker Man. Dance of Death would be nice too and honestly, I've got nothing against Blood Brothers either, but when it comes to songs I really wish to hear and are, in some ways, something that would sit fairly comfortable to their live set... Ghost of the Navigator, Brave New World and Paschendale come to mind! I loved For the Greater Good of God in 2018, but I don't expect it to be played again... however, I think The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg would be great and it would fit their current live vibe very, very well!

I would LOVE to hear Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, one of my all-time favourite Iron Maiden cuts, but it's more of a pipe dream when compared to most of the previously mentioned songs.

I missed The Book of Souls tour, so I wouldn't mind if they brought in something like If Eternity Should Fail to open the encore or something; imagine Powerslave right after it! Such a good fit. The Book of Souls is a majestic track and I'd love to hear that too, but I'd be somewhat surprised if anything from that album gets played again. As for Senjutsu, I think The Writing on the Wall has a solid chance for that and honestly, I wouldn't mind at all! It's a fantastic tune and truly a live beast. I would also be very happy if Hell on Earth stays around even after the current tour, but having seen a couple of fantastic performances of it already, I'm also ok with something else instead.

Live debuts?
Well, Montségur! What a track! Not that it's actually going to happen, but that song is splendid.

I agree about Benjamin and Hell On Earth. As for If Eternity Should Fail, I think its best position in the set is as the opener.

Never performed but would love to hear
Face in the sand

The parchment
 
Isle of Avalon
Starblind
The Longest Day
The Legacy
Lord of Light
Dance of Death
Montsegur
The Thin Line between Love and Hate
Rainmaker
Speed of Light
 
Just give me the full AMOLAD treatment, starting with Different World, ending with The Legacy, which I was denied back then and instead got about half of it replaced by tracks from one of my least favourite Maiden albums.

Throw in a random combination of Montségur, Dance of Death, Paschendale, TBOS, When the Wild Wind Blows and Hell on Earth and you have a (mostly) thematic evening that's my ultimate Maiden experience and it's pure reunion stuff
(otherwise I'd say to throw in some songs from TXF - for the thematic connection - or Rime - purely because it's awesome).
 
Ghost of the Navigator
Brave New World
Dance of Death
These Colours Don't Run
The Final Frontier (but skip Satellite 15)
The Book of Souls.

Could add If Eternity Should Fail as well, but I think that's for a Bruce solo tour.
