So they really are going to be playing that song? This is pure brilliance!
I was already hoping and waiting, as this was just about the correct time when thinking of the tour theme and now finally getting more SIT (which has been overlooked for years).
Just wow! And now it seems that there even might be some other surprises waiting for us. The show must be great and Im so looking forwards.
 
Previously unseen greyscale version of the tour shirt??

Guess we will see the full merch table later this afternoon hopefully someone posts pics here!

Having heard Alexander (probably one of the ''less difficult'' songs on the album to play live) and I think Hell On Earth is a given - if they play Parchment and Caught Somewhere In Time then this will be the tour with the best/ultimate epics for me.

Me too..Im counting towards those songs aswell and hope to hear them. This is going to be pretty epic setlist for sure! Hopefully so.

Yep. The other surprises could be: CSIT, Runner, Sea.

Surprises for this particular set: CIPWM, Moonchild.
 
I was having a casual Sunday morning, just waking up near my wife and baby girl. “Let’s check the chat to see if there’s more fake playlist s**t around”. Then I pressed the ATG thumbnail posted above with low to none expectations. The girls are sleeping, phone on mute, a video taken outside the arena… ok, this could be something or could be a troll move. Jump off the bed, run to the other room, play it. Wholy skies! It’s the one. Hype level 100, play it again, checking also the other video. Goosebumps to the sky. Open a cold one at 10.30 am. And then I am thinking - who else get the chance to find joy in such small things? About an obscure song from ‘86 that will now be played live and about which no one cares at all except (some) Maiden fans. Mark my words, guys - we have a good life!
 
Bruce has flair incidents every other night. I do not think that was the reason for not coming to Greece this year. Really happy about the song though. I believe Hell on Earth is in the setlist too. Not the best choice but not the worse either! It's got some cool moments!
 
It's not like Bruce sits at the office and says where Maiden will play and when. If the promoters in Greece want Maiden to play they will play, simple as that. They have skipped a lot of places they played last year to give the markets a rest. They don't play Paris, Stockholm, Gothenburg to name a few big markets for Maiden. Croatia, Portugal, Denmark and more countries don't even get a gig.

Yep, exciting times indeed. Im prepared to finally hear CSIT live (as never saw them on SOT) but anything else is just bonus..now they need to ID on the next tour (pretty please 'Arry we need it back).
The other epics indeed save the game. Im always hyped and excited over the new setlist and stage +Eddies around but still it feels different this time.
Im even more hyped than usual. This might be one of their best setlists..I got that kind of hunch now. And sometimes they do play stuff on the rehearsals that don't get picked to the final setlist..here based on the talk Im definitely interested (if CIPWM or Moonchild get slots in the setlist).

One more thing, though..

I have to face up, make my stand whether I need/want to go completely blind to the show next saturday?
It's always so hard to avoid any spoilers..tempting as this is now completely different kind of beast with ATG teasing around my mind.

I bet, Greek fans, those who love flares, now repents for using them and not hearing Alexander. :ninja:

Playing Alexander and not coming to Greece?
Greek fans will welcome him with more flares next time.
Also joints, EU flags, Play Classics and a huge placard with the word F L A R E S written on it just in front of the stage. Just for a warm up during Doctor Doctor and before the first ever all instrumental Maiden show in history.

100% spot on. I think this will be one of my favorite tours, stage sets and setlists.
