Predictions on Setlist?

[Jonszat]

And how many times have you seen HBTN, NotB and IM during those 11 tours?

 

[JackAttack]

I have only seen FOTD during 10 out of 11 different tours I've been to.

Haha, now I feel bad about mentioning it... Totally screwed the pooch on that one.

HBTN: 11 out of 11.
Iron Maiden: 11 out of 11.
FOTD: 10 out of 11.
NOTB: 10 out of 11.
The Trooper: 10 out of 11.
RTTH: 7 out of 11.

 

[Jonszat]

Which tour was NotB not on? I thought it was a staple.

AMoLaD I guess?

 

[Jeffmetal]

You're right.

Check this video out, it's a video blog that Nicko's son does, I guess.

Anyway, at about 2:50, they mention that Nicko's going on tour soon with Maiden, and Nicko says "it'll be a lot of fun playing the songs from the last four albums [...]".

 

[The Clairvoyant]

Very cool...let's hope to hear something from 90's too....like from X-Factor and something else from fear of the dark!

Unsurprising that Nicko's the one to (sort of) spill the beans. He did something similar a few weeks ago in an interview, although I can't remember for the life of me where I read it.

Justin's growing up to be a lot like his pop. Good to see that McBrain humor carrying on.

 

[Mega]

Mmm, his son is as old as I am.
That was... weird.

 

[Rotam]

Will they play the obvious one ?

 

[Black Thunder]

Will they play the obvious one ?

Well, like there was so much of ATG when they were in Greece (or Macedonia?)...

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Yeah, but "Alexander The Great" is the title of the song, not "Greece".

Of course Maiden will play it. They pretty much have to. Just like Weird Al cannot play a show in Albuquerque and skip that song, even if he plays it nowhere else.

 

[GuineaPig]

I wouldn't be surprised.  Transylvania is an established classic that's been played live many times, and all the current members have played it at least once on tour.

 

[Forostar]

The only song Maiden played in the Netherlands that I've missed, since I'm into them.
(I missed two Dutch gigs: one of them was in 1993 which featured this mighty instrumental.)

If it's going to be played, I am terribly curious if that will be in Transylvania only, or also at the other gigs.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

I expect Transylvania only. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[JackAttack]

Isn't the recorded track of "Transylvania" usually played before "Doctor, Doctor"? I've heard about this numerous times and I remember in the Flight 666 DVD where a crowd in South or Central America is jumping to a recording of it.

 

[Forostar]

Yes. But I imagine that to see it live would be an awesome experience.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

No. Doctor[sup]2[/sup] always comes first. On some tours, Transylvania has then been played over the PA.

 

[JackAttack]

No joke. I was just curious. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the Transylvanian audience that they open with it. That would be unbelievable.

Gotchya. I've known that "Doctor, Doctor" is always played, but I didn't know how often "Transylvania" was.
