16). Iron Maiden
ENCORE
17). Be Quick or be Dead
18). Fear Of The Dark
19). Wasted Years

This is pretty much perfect. The alternate version IMO:

1). The Ides Of March (tape)
2). Murders in the Rue Morgue
3). Wrathchild
4). Killers
5). Phantom Of The Opera
6). No Prayer for the Dying
7). The Number Of The Beast

9). Powerslave
10). 2 Minutes To Midnight
11). Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
12). Run To The Hills
13). Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
14). The Trooper
15). Hallowed Be Thy Name
16). Iron Maiden
ENCORE
17). Running Free
18). Fear Of The Dark
19). Wasted Years

Or, with the same number of songs:

1). The Ides Of March (tape)
2). Murders in the Rue Morgue
3). Wrathchild
4). Killers
5). Phantom Of The Opera
6). The Number Of The Beast
7). The Clairvoyant
8). Powerslave
9). 2 Minutes To Midnight
10). Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
11). Run To The Hills
12). Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
13). The Trooper
14). Hallowed Be Thy Name
15). Iron Maiden
ENCORE
16). Tailgunner
17). Fear Of The Dark
18). Wasted Years

It's so easily fixable. The set with No Prayer and Running Free is IMO the best possible one for this tour.

Nice. I like it

you will when it eventually comes for your job

We will all be part Terminator be then anyways

 

[InfiniteDreamer544]

I think we should give Steve Harris a chance to sing Aces High Prowler on this tour.

Prowler would be cool, but I personally feel it more as "either way is fine" rather than it being a preference over Wasted Years.

Given what Bruce is doing to the song on this tour (butchering it, murdering it, you name it), I think we should give Steve a chance.

Steve singing?? Look at this:

Let’s not forget this gem!!:

 

[sea_of_madness_667]

Let’s not forget this gem!!:

Oh yes that gem is so lovely too!!

 

[sea_of_madness_667]

Other great gem:

(see 6:24) KANAH PLEIWITH MADNEEEEEEHSS!!

 

[sea_of_madness_667]

Speaking of Aces-ultra-mega-under-the-ground, we could give opportunities to new guys to sing it!!

Hopefully Steve and Rod see this so they can make changes for 2026.

Steve singing?? Look at this:

Davey and Jan’s faces are priceless.

It sounds like Steve & Adrian are singing in time together, and the rest of the band corrects themselves to suit - maybe adding in half an extra bar?
I do wish they'd play it a bit quicker - feels very slow.

I also wish Bruce would try IEMs... I feel like it's been very common on this tour for him to be slightly out of time in places and I wonder if it's it's just down to not consistently hearing himself/the rest of the band, depending on where he is on the stage.... might help him on Aces too with pitch

 

[BludBrutha]

Nicko used to play around more obviously with time than Simon, but from the clips I've heard I very much doubt they use any click tracks. For which songs do you guys think they use clicks?

Steve screwed up the bass in the middle section transition to Mariner the other night. Instead of continuing he stopped and then started over. He likely wouldn’t have done that if there was a click throughout that section.

16). To Tame a Land
17). Fear Of The Dark
18). Wasted Years

Hopefully Steve and Rod see this so they can make changes for 2026.

Changes for 2026? They need to make changes for 2025. There are negative comments about the setlist on every Facebook post the band puts up. They just need to swap out three or four songs, like you say. It’s not hard.

 

[Kalata]

Bruce is singing the ''I've done it again'' part in Killers on this tour. For the first time ever, I think. He sings it in his own style, not scream, but more operatic. The original is perfect. 4:25.

 

[Kalata]

Speaking of Killers, they show a clip for the second part of the song - come to think of it, they could have used the tour video Intro (with Killers Eddie), it would have been fitting. I never thought Maiden would use clips. It's more ''effective'' than in Number. Both are black&white.

Steve's perfectly fine here to be honest. The issue in the beginning was Bruce starting far too early because he had immense timing issues during that time.

Let’s not forget this gem!!:

While the other example (or Different World) are commonly memed, I feel he actually sounds pretty great here. Unironically. He sounds pretty close to Paul, much closer than Bruce or Blaze did. Like, I'm glad Maiden got other vocalists, but it is neat hearing Steve perform the vocals like that. It kinda explains where some of those vocal lines came from.

IEM's are a tough thing for some singers as they simply can't sing with something in their ears.

 

[Kalata]

During the latest show, Bruce said that the production for this tour has been in the making for 2 years. A lot of work.

 

[MindRuler]

Which proves what we allready thought: they're long term planners.

And the long-distance runners... (currently watching Daily Doug's listen-through of the Somewhere in Time album).
