RUN FOR YOUR LIVES 2026

From Adrian's most recent interview:

I wanted to touch on the new Iron Maiden Book 'Infinite Dreams'; firstly, with that title, why is 'Infinite Dreams' not in the 'Run For Your Lives' set list?
Yeah, good question! I think it was pencilled in. It was pencilled in. We were going to do it, but for some reason, I don't know why we didn't end up doing it. I don't know why. That's interesting, yeah, the whole big 50th anniversary book, and then we don't do the song [laughing], but I mean, Maiden has got so many songs, it's just hard to cover everything.

I really wish I could unsee it.
 
Sea Of Madness likely wasn't rehearsed for The Future Past. I'd say LOTLDR was considered, but never rehearsed due to Nicko's condition.
 
Well, if they rehearsed Sea last year, why not.

Where did you get that information from?

Adrian does not say on the Eon Music interview that they rehearsed Sea of Madness last year, only that it did work quite well live when they played it (in the 80s). He is specifically answering a question about possible Maiden songs to be played by Smith/Kotzen in 2026.

As much as I would have loved to have heard Infinite Dreams, there has to be a good reason it has been dropped twice. Either Bruce finds it hard to sing or the groove is hard to establish. It is one of those songs that treads the line tempo wise. It’s either too fast for Bruce to sing or it could drag and come across as sloppy.
