The Future Past tour 2023

[Brazilian Benjamin Breeg]

1986 was also the last time they played Flight of Icarus until LOTB in 2018, which is pretty nuts.

Perhaps including Icarus in the LOTB gave Steve the confidence to consider revisiting songs that haven't been played in decades and that didn't work quite well at first place. Indeed Icarus was a success. Now they're taking it a step further by debuting a song 37 years after its release. Historic.

because there have been some soundchecks posted and this wasn't a song. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I mean, some of us here began to sow some panic seeds. What if they will not play CSIT.

 

[Mosh]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I am the top Maiden fan, and I've been involved in numerous secret Maiden concerts, and I have over 300 confirmed copies of Somewhere in Time.

Oops wrong thread

 

[Spaldy]

Spoiler: Soundcheck

Well...

This legit?

 

[TheMercenary]

I'm 100% sure that Maiden will open the show with the Blade Runner theme followed by "Caught Somewhere In Time".

 

[Diplomat]

Nicko found Dragon bridge.

 

[Shavasku]

CSIT, SIASL, AtG, HoE and The Parchment. If they play those 5, it will be their best setlist ever for me. Doesn't matter the rest, really.

Shouldnt there be merch photos by now?...

I guess there were no merch stalls outside. Arena doors are open in 5 minutes though. Hoping to see pics here.

I doubt any FTTBer is prepared to take the hit and go to the merch stand.

I think it's that + the realization they don't have decades of tours ahead of them anymore. If there ever was a time to throw out the rulebook and start playing songs they've never done before, it'd be now.

 

[Ancient Marinator]

oh right yeah guess so

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

I've never skipped out on Maiden. During Bruce's spoken word show I thought my bladder would explode but I was able to make it to intermission

Me too. I've enjoyed each show fully and even the Bruce's magnificent show. It was pleasant evening.

No merch stands at all? Outside or inside? I need a tshirt!

Nobody said there's no merch inside. I'm sure someone will have pics up soon.

Official merch stands are always inside.

Count me in for this one. I predicted and hoped all of these to be played. They have now again possilibity to make outstanding setlist.

 

[matic22]

The setlist is gonna be outstanding. They are playing Alexander. They can put 14 Wrathchilds and Iron Maiden next to it, but it will still be outstanding.
