I think it's worse that they played only one POM song and then used the POM Eddie. POM should feature with at least 2 songs.

I think I called it very soon after the tour was announced that from IM to FotD was always meant to just mean "we will definitely play Iron Maiden and Fear of the Dark, don't worry" with absolutely no guarantees offered concerning if every album gets representation. I was actually slightly surprised to see Wasted Years, I half-expected SiT to also be snubbed completely since it just had a whole tour.
e: What I didn't expect was Powerslave hogging the setlist and Seventh Son getting two oddball reps instead of the obvious choice. Killers getting more songs than the debut was also surprising honestly, but other than that it felt pretty in line with what you'd expect.

It actually wasn’t played the first night in 2003 on the Dance of Death tour.

Aces High and Wrathchild shirts.
Very weird to me that they wanted these hidden. Unless the comment from someone a few pages back about the merch stand' employees covering the wrong ones was true and they were actually supposed to hide Rime and Clairvoyant. Which for Clairvoyant I also find strange.

Well, it fits the performance of the song quite well then!

It is kind of hilarious to hide a Wrathchild shirt. I like the Aces High shirt though
Whoever said they accidentally covered the wrong merchandise seems to be right lol

That aces high one looks dreadful

Aces and Wrathchild, hahah. Is this is a joke.
Wrathchlid/Murders is cool, for a tour one, although similar. 22AA is written again - but not played.

I like it better than the Wrathchild one.
That's Dan Mumford's art. He makes some great band posters and shirt designs but this is definitely not his best one! Het also made some shirt designs for the Future Past Tour.

Never thought I would see Rime and 7th Son on the same set.

I think the setlist is okay, but no more. For a regular "hits" tour - fine.
However, for the 50th anniversary tour it's quite a let down.
Especially when recalling how dramatically it got announced, like biggest stage, most impressive thing ever etc.
Everything correct when taken literally, like five feet more here and three feet there in its measures, but when it comes to the choice of songs in total, it's underwhelming and does not do justice to what it all got anounced.
But okay.
