RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

Entirely unrelated but my one wish that there was one decently big name band that would be willing to play nothing but Dio-era Black Sabbath songs on the 5th of July this year. Maiden will not and cannot ever be it, but surely there's at least one act willing to commit to one last bit of mischievousness in the name of giving Dio the respect he deserves as the best singer of Black Sabbath.

If they do Running Free, Sanctuary etc it will probably be a 16-17 song setlist.

I wouldn't be against if the set is 17 songs, well, that much. But I think 5 early days songs is probably the most, or idk, one more, can't see both Running and Sanctuary for some reason. At least 3 for sure.
  • I thought about something, if they play more than 4 early days songs, the set should be at least 17 songs if they want a multiple representation from some albums and at least 1 song per album (roughly: 5/6,3,2/3,2/3,2,1/2 - early days/82/88/90's/84/83... 86?).
I really thought this tour would finally bring more than 2 90's songs in a set, but given Dave's comments, I'm not sure now. I guess they will be at the expense of the 90's material. I hope not, not that it would be that big of a surprise (even after the 2005 tour), but I didn't expect it because the theme is for 9 albums. I would like 4 early days songs. Let's see if they will make it different enough than ME tour, more like RLT tour.

I don't think they will play a deep cut from the first 2 albums.

Prowler, Murders and Killers would be deep cuts, right.

But when I read that Dave interview, my first association was Prowler. Kinda fits what Dave was saying.

This. Prowler, Phantom, Iron Maiden, Killers, Wrathchild - the expected (except Running and Sanctuary) and not so big deep cuts is my guess.
Dave's hints are not like Bruce's, right, but what if they play at least one surprise from the early years, the way he said it and from the pub days, there are at least 6 (plus Murders and Prodigal Son) big surprises.

"Tears of a Clown" was specifically written in memory of Robin Williams, wasn't it?

I don't know if it was meant to honor him so much as it raised enough of a question in Steve's mind for him to write it: why would a guy who's spent his life making people laugh off himself? It was about him, sure, but it never felt to me like a tribute. Not saying you're wrong, that's just been my perspective on it.
 
I always thought they wrote Tears of a clown in memory of Robin Williams. (or at least they rewrote the lyrics to point to him)
