Short-answer questions

I personally doubt they rehearsed much of anything that didn't make the setlist in 2005, since otherwise they would've used something other than Wrathchild replace Charlotte the Harlot. Maybe something like Prodigal Son at best since there's been rumors about it, but probably only in a "nah this doesn't work, let's drop it" capacity, similar to Infinite Dreams in 2012.
 
To be honest, I loved hearing Another Life and Drifter. They are not winning any songwriting awards but they are definitely songs I associate with the early days. The delay to hear Icarus was a shame. It was epic on the LOTB tour but would have been even better in 1999-2005. TTAL is not one that I have to say I missed.

I like to think they also rehearsed Killers, Still Life, 22AA, Children of the Damned and Prodigal Son.
Another life sounded great in 2005
 
For anyone who has/had the final frontier mission edition: does bonus stuff still work? I was planning on getting my standard edition replaced for this deluxe one, but I see website where bonus content is supposed to be is down, so is it worth buying this deluxe edition?

I could check, but yeah, I think that site is dead. Anyway, the packaging is really cool! I think is worth having for that only. The extra stuff was some wallpapers, pictures, The Final Frontier videoclip and a little documentary that you can find online.
 
When did Sooty first appear on Nicko's drum kit, and has he always been dressed in tour-appropriate attire? The earliest picture I found was from the AMOLAD tour, with Sooty dressed in camouflage.

It goes much earlier. The first time it appeared live was during the Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour (1988) but apparently, they "met" one year earlier:

I knew he'd been on the Sooty Show in the eighties, I just couldn't find any pictures of him on Nick's kit from that time. Digging a little deeper I found the below, not sure exactly when it's from, but it's nice to know Sooty joined the kit pretty much immediately after Nick's appearance :)

Lovely pic! Nicko looks so happy there.
