You’ve added Infinite Dreams to the setlist on this leg of the Run For Your Lives tour – the first time you’ve played it in 38 years. How on earth do you decide which songs to play and which songs to drop?
Steve: “A lot of it is governed by what Bruce wants to sing. He’s singing better than ever in my view, but none of us are getting any younger and it gets tougher. He really wanted to do Infinite Dreams. I wasn’t that bothered about it, even though it’s my song, but we did it and it sounded great. I’d have loved to have a couple of deep cuts on this tour, like Only The Good Die Young [a song that Maiden have never played live].”

TBH, this is the right way to do it with almost 70 year old singer... Ask him what he wants to sing.You’ve added Infinite Dreams to the setlist on this leg of the Run For Your Lives tour – the first time you’ve played it in 38 years.

Which baffles me even more, since Bruce knows, that he is struggling with Aces High and yet they are still doing it. It more and more seems like it was a managment decision rather than a band one (combined with Bruce's pride, ego and stubborness to say NO).

Also, I think the album is happening. Bruce intentionally left a gap from January to end of May next year and it seems that he has been working on Steve during the course of the tour to get them in the studio early next year.
Any plans to start work on a new Maiden album?
Bruce: “Would I like to do a new Iron Maiden album now? Yes. Would I like to do one starting next year? Yes. So over to you, Steve.”
Steve: “No. We haven’t had a band discussion about it yet. I know Bruce wants to do one. He said in an interview that I didn’t want to do one, which is not true. When he told me about it, I just said, ‘Yeah, maybe, we’ll see.’ At the moment it’s more important that we focus on playing live. Plus, Bruce is doing stuff with his solo project next year, so we’ll see.

Evening The Odds.
Not bad, but it's hard to judge quality because of reverb.
I still believe that this song can sound good with right approach.
