2022 LOTB was a strange one and quite a bit below 2019 and especially 2018 in terms of most aspects. I felt the same about 2016 and 2017 TBOS tours, but to a smaller extent.

Hopefully the new set qnd stage design rejuvinate them a bit as they did at the beginning of LOTB.
Let's hope so. I think they will be much more enthusiastic on stage for this tour.

I agree with the comparisons between the 3 legs of LOTB tour (Bruce was better in 2022 than he was in 2019 imo), but I thought the 2017 tour was great.
Have any other pictures including Nicko, Dave and Bruce been posted?
Check here.
 
In one of the photos you can see that Janick carries not only banana but also orange. This clearly is some hint or code... Guys let's think quick, which song can be associated with orange? Juanita? Or maybe Reach Out? Or... or Be Quick or Be Hungry?

Member of the Crew with a banana. You know what it means, right. 100% chance this song will be played.

edit: OMG, Adrian is carrying bottles of WATER. Clearly those are empty, so you need to use reversal psychology here: Water, water everywhere not a drop to drink - Rime of the Ancient Mariner confirmed!

guess we will find out about our predictions in 8 days for the set list and as sad as it is to say, those of us state side may suffer the loss of one or two tracks when they come here next year for a USA leg. It happens all the time and sadly, back in 86 too when they dropped Sea of Madness right after first show in the USA.
Eh, not necessarily. Maiden England's set stayed the same across 2012-2013 and Legacy of the Beast stayed the same through 2018-2019. The Book of Souls changed for the 2017 dates due to the Hallowed lawsuit.

I think they have a better grip on what works set-wise now. The days of "X song only lasts one date, Y song gets dropped after a month" are pretty much over.

The bottle of water also mocks the Fremen of Arrakis by reminding them that there is no water on their desert planet, so obviously that can only mean... To Tame A Land confirmed!!

You guys are all missing the big picture.

Bananas grow on trees. Trees need water to grow. Ergo, Adrian is growing Janick's bananas backstage. That's how there's always a steady supply.

And where does Adrian get the water from? Well, obviously the nearest tap which sources it from a water source like a lake or river which ultimately comes from moisture in the air such as rainwater. Rain comes from the clouds. Which means only one thing.

They're going to play Empire of the Clouds!
