TBOS Tour Predictions

My prediction will probably change when I hear the album.

1. If Eternity Should Fail
2. Speed of Light
3. El Dorado
4. Two Minutes to Midnight
5. The Book of Souls
6. Different World
7. Rainmaker
8. Dance of Death / Talisman / Pashcendale (Probably an epic from a previous album)
9. The Wicker Man
10. Empire of the Clouds
11. Number of the Beast
12. Fear of the Dark
13. Iron Maiden
---- Encore
14. Caught Somewhere in Time
15. Hallowed be Thy Name
16. Run to the Hills


I think the only ones they are sure to play are currently The Book of Souls and Speed of Light. If Eternity Should Fail could be quite possible because it's the opener, and every opening track except Invaders has been played. Empire of the Clouds is very likely considering how good it's supposed to be. But you can't tell for sure about any of the other songs on the album.

It should be noted that they will probably not play Caught Somewhere in Time, I'm just being optimistic.

edit: Run time would be about 106 minutes

Sea of Madness would be a great pick, I think. Pretty heavy song and it's not too long.

Yep, but really would be happy with ANY

Well I'll try my luck with a setlist myself

Support Act : Alestorm (pirates and Mayans on the same tour rock)

1. Speed of Light
2. Flight of Icarus
3. Ghost of the Navigator
4. The Red and the Black
5. Man on the Edge
6. Killers
7. If Eternity should Fail
8. The Evil that Men Do
9. The Trooper
10. The Clansman
11. Book of Souls
12. The Number of the Beast
13. Fear of the Dark
14. Iron Maiden
----
15. Caught Somewhere in Time
16. Dance of Death
17. Hallowed be Thy Name

Would be some surprises, but probably too long
 
I'm going to predict that the big Eddie during IM be exactly like we see on the album cover and will rise up vertically, directly behind the stage. Also, I wonder if they'll leave out Hallowed again. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we get ATSS again or possibly something like Tailgunner. I also think we'll get Empire and Bruce will play piano live on stage.

Funny how we got tracks 11-14 exactly the same ha

I think Hallowed will be back, but I'm wondering/hoping that they might drop Fear of the Dark this time around instead. It'd be really nice if that happened.

Ya, FOTD is way overdue to be dropped. In fact, I think they should have dropped that on the last tour and put ATSS in its place and kept Hallowed. Another dream and hope of mine is a Blaze song that hasn't been done with Bruce yet, but was done during the Blaze years. VERY unlikely I know, but I SO badly want to hear more of that with Bruce. Lightning Strikes Twice would be incredible!

They should have done fortunes of war or heart of darkness on the amolad tour

I thought the same thing, though I was ultimately willing to let it slide since I got to see both Phantom and Seventh Son live. I never thought that would happen. I actually think FotD would regain a bit of love if the band dropped it for a tour or two. Give the song some time away from the fans to let them miss it for once.

I do want to see a Blaze song on the next tour, but I'm not sure which would be the best to go with. I'd love to see Sign of the Cross live, but I'd be fine with Man on the Edge too (which I think probably has the best shot at being played live again anytime soon).

That would have been awesome!

I saw SOTC live in 2000 and MOTE doesn't do much for me with Bruce. I really only want songs that have only been done with Blaze. Even if I don't get to see them live, I'll just be happy to hear some bootlegs so I can hear them with Bruce for the first time.

Yeah, but Travis, I haven't seen SotC live ever. I only became a fan of the band in 2008 and have seen them live once in 2013. It's a song that I'd personally really like to see live at least once in my life. I'm not expecting it, much like how I never expected to ever see SSoaSS live either.

Ya, I know how it is when you have never seen a song live. So, I'm sure you'd be very happy with any songs you've never seen live on the upcoming tour. Either way, A Maiden show is a super amazing and very special experience no matter what they play!

Not necessarily. I'd probably get really frustrated if I saw the band play Quest for Fire or The Angel and the Gambler live, for example. I'd probably be fine with whatever general setlist we get, but there's always a few personal favorites or hopes that I'd like to see live myself. Even if I'm not necessarily expecting them to be played.
 
I would do anything to hear Caught Somewhere in Time. My dream is for them to resurrect the album on a future tour, unfortunately I know that's very slim though.
 
I wonder if the stage design will be something like this:

That could be the upper, middle section.

Maybe there could be a statue or 2 like this:

Maybe the rest of the stage could be something like this:

I dig how the named the old tours, insted of just adding "world tour" after the name.

Isn't "The Tour Of Souls" a cool name for this tour ;)?

The Tour of Books, Nicko reading for 110 Minutes and noone understands jackshit.
