When talking about shows you hardly hear the date mentioned, it's always the city and/or country.

In that case, we're not hearing ATG

Never say never, but my money is on Infinite Dreams after Bruce's comments.

You cannot hear that and think "wtf are doing there,its a disaster" i cant remember one song sung like that since blaze era. Needs to he dropp

ID is almost confirmed I would say. TETMD is also possibility and knowing them, they would like to sneak Revelations in or some common songs like that. Wouldn't like neither of them av we heard them only 4 years ago.

I haven't watched almost any of the videos from RFYL, but I remmber from LOTB 2022 sounding rough. Almost at the breaking point. If it's worse than that, they should really drop it and keep it as a set opener.

Swapping Aces for Alex and keep it as the first encore is perfect spot in the setlist IMO but I think it's over analyzing what's been said too far into Father Christmas territory to be honest. Clairvoyant for Infinite is more probable. In any event, the setlist as we know it is one of the better we've ever experienced for a greatest hits tour and it's not an easy task changing anything really and still keep the pace and album coverage (sorry NPFTD). Let's say they do those two exact changes, where are we in terms of full set length?

2 minutes more. So 1 hour and 52 minutes.

To me it was simply that Athens is the opening night that`s why it was mentioned, the Alexander thing is not actually a thing as nice as it would be.
Infinite Dreams is the only real hint we`ve had up to now and i would be ok with that but i did see the show in 2025 so i`m good with a change.
The age old Aces needs to go thing isn`t going to happen not unless the rehearsals go badly for it, regardless of what this place thinks of it the band seem to like it , and it`s a sing along banger so you can`t here Bruce struggle anyway when you are there

Oh, you can hear it.

Watching on Youtube or sitting in the asleep seats you can yes ,standing on the floor and singing along not really.
It`s clearly not what it was but i am willing to forgive it anyway given we get Phantom, Powerslave, Rime, SSOASS and who knows ID this year which is where i differ from most on here.

Worst than that? During LOTB is a superb version if you compare with this

I dont think that sounds like shit. Is a bit slower bruce sounds strained,yes we have seen better ones. But this one is horrible.
matic22
Ancient Mariner
You can. I was 10 meters from the stage in Budapest and Bruce's straining was obvious. Same during all other 3 gigs I went to last year. Was on the floor during all of them.
It's a stupid song choice at their age and placed stupidly in the setlist. And I will die on this hill. Bruce himself said in The Charismatic Voice interview that he saw the comments and agrees that he is indeed struggling.

So we have options that will be changed

And that's where his pride and ego come to play and it wouldn't surprise me if that changed.

AH is extra dumb since unless both Bruce and Steve were blatantly lying, they didn't even want to play it. So they should've just went "no" when Rod suggested it and ended the discussion there. Instead we got the stupidest timeline where it's the encore opener both because it's been done to death as the show opener and because it doesn't fit mid-set either.
