I'll tell You what is real, Mister. Futureal!Really hard to tell what is real with all the rumours going around.
Prisoner seems like a false rumour. It will be 2 minutes or children of the damned. They played prisoner on the maiden england tour, because it featured on the original tour. Now, I think they will play something that featured on somewhere on tour. Phantom of the opera or Rime is the dream, but too long. They always look back at the original tourCIPWM is an easy and short song (like Wrathchild) so it's not that surprising, although it will definitely be a curveball. I didn't expect it. It fits a bit. Moonchild on the other hand is a strange choice and not a needed song for this set.
HCW was expected. I guess they will do 4 SIT songs (Alexander, Stranger, Heaven and Wasted Years), 5 SJ songs (for sure!) and 6 classics (CIPWM instead of TNOTB?; the other being Fear, Trooper, IM, Prisoner and Hallowed). I'm still not ruling out CSIT.
Futureal would have been a much better and fitting choice (with almost the same length).I may be in minority here, but Can I Play with Madness is very so so choice..
Janick needs to play more solos in the set. The additional ones will come from the other classics like Moonchild, HCW, CIPWM.I'm sure if they play Moonchild then Janick takes solo
Bye bye Adrian's beautiful powerful solo
My thoughts exactly. That's why I was surprised when not a lot of people put Sanctuary in the Setlist prediction thread.They always look back at the original tour
But this is tour is not retrospective tour like in 2005, 2008 or 2012....Prisoner seems like a false rumour. It will be 2 minutes or children of the damned.

Although the setlist will be very similar (in a way) with ME tour, Prisoner is really possible. And this is a hybrid tour, don't forget that. Bruce wants to play it again, they played Children on the previous album tour and I think they will want to give 2 Minutes a break again. Other long epic songs have no chance for this tour.Prisoner seems like a false rumour. It will be 2 minutes or children of the damned.

It seems instead of Sanctuary, Running Free or Wrathchild this time they chose Can I Play With Madness.My thoughts exactly. That's why I was surprised when not a lot of people put Sanctuary in the Setlist prediction thread.
It kinda is. They just want to play Senjutsu epics too. So it's a 2 in 1 situation.But this is tour is not retrospective tour like in 2005, 2008 or 2012....
A hybrid of SIT and Senjutsu though. If those two albums take 10/15 songs then I find it difficult for prisoner to be 1/5. I hope Prisoner, Madness etc don't make it to the setlist. We all know that they will play Trooper, FOTD and IM. So the last two being CIPWM and Prisoner is underwhelming.Although the setlist will be very similar (in a way) with ME tour, Prisoner is really possible. And this is a hybrid tour, don't forget that.

Moonchild is a difficult and fast song for an encore though.Maybe they will start show with Days Of Future Past, and Moonchild for start encore
But I know Moonchild’s on my mind, coz my doctor says I’ve done it beforeMoonchild is a difficult and fast song for an encore though.
It's still primarily the new album tour, no doubt. They could be in place of Number Of The Beast, Trooper (a nod to the 1986 tour) or Hallowed if the longer songs are a lot. I would welcome Prisoner, CIPWM, not one of my favorites.A hybrid of SIT and Senjutsu though. If those two albums take 10/15 songs then I find it difficult for prisoner to be 1/5.

Me too, genuinely.Did I actually mention yet that I do really look forward to celebrating & discussing the tour starting with you all great folks here in his place tomorrow?
I think via their website..Me too, genuinely.
I want to know how Talking Maiden are going to do their live episode though. Does Spotify support live recording?
People rarely mentioned Phantom in this thread and I think it's a good call for a classic deep cut replacing one overplayed classic. Easy for all of them and always worked well live.Phantom of the opera or Rime is the dream, but too long. They always look back at the original tour
Exacty ! And Phanom instead Fear would be awesome !People rarely mentioned Phantom in this thread and I think it's a good call for a classic deep cut replacing one overplayed classic. Easy for all of them and always worked well live.
