If you were Iron Maiden, and you were going to play songs that hadn't been played in 30-40 years (or hadn't been played live at all), would you pick a track off of one of your least beloved albums that almost no one is clamoring for? Or would you pick a song from the '80s records that are way more popular and that more people would get excited over? Especially in the context of a 'greatest hits' tour where most of the slots will be filled by genuine classics. I really think NPFTD is a pipe dream, but we'll see for sure in a week I guess.

All of that is true, but this is a special anniv tour (though only for half of their albums, still find this odd, unless they have plans for Part 2 as a 3rd leg), so I'd like to think there's room for one or two, like, obscure songs. More so in a 18 songs set, for example (the songs not played in a long time with a chance are only Infinite and Land). Priest played a song from their debut. It depends on whether the band wants to play them, now is their best chance for more than 1 90's song and it could be like a new song. The 90's albums have great and underrated gems, some could be popular enough live. And there are some 80's songs that are obscure for the casual fans, right. Like Alexander.

edit: hearing some songs on every tour (not the big classics) is what I'm not a fan of at all. Despite the odds, I have high hopes for the set and the stage.

I edited my initial setlist a bit yesterday (before the lock).
Anyways, this is what I predicted (surely not going to happen) but Im happy if they atleast at last give Infinite Dreams slot in the setlist:
