Interesting. I knew that the song wasn't without chances. They probably replaced it with HCW. The backdrop for it was the same as for CSIT and SIASL. Or they didn't like how it sounded. I would love to hear Sea Of Madness. They probably chose HCW so Janick can have a solo on a SIT song. Wasted Years was a certain, I guess.

To the setlist complainers, I predict that on the 2024 leg Maiden will swap out 1 each of the SiT, Senjutsu, and classic songs, similar to the Book of Souls tour. I bet it's already planned. My predictions:

- SiT: Heaven Can Wait out, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner in;
- Senjutsu: Death of the Celts out, The Parchment in;
- Classics: Can I Play with Madness out, something else in (maybe Flight of Icarus).

We'll see!
 
Infinite Dreams will be the next one to be taken back to setlists?
It's been also very long time absent from setlists (it was only played in 1988).
Now that we'vr at last gotten CSIT back to setlist and other gems like ATG..
Or is it impossible since it wasn't picked from ME-tour (even if they rehearsed it)..

I think Infinite Dreams is sadly impossible.
ME-Tour was the best spot to take it on the set, but they replaced it with Afraid ;(

Distance Runner had also chances, beacause Steve mentioned in an interview before the tour it would be a good song.

Sea of Madness seems to be too hard for Nicko, the Intro is quite busy (like the CSIT Part before the solos) and also in the studio version the drum roll is too fast and not in the same speed like Adrian played the intro riff.

He also said that 'Arry went to the drum riser and shouted some nasty words to Nicko at one point due to the recurring errors :D
Can we get Mission from 'Arry, part 2. :lol:

Death Of The Celts will not be in the 2024 leg, they will see it through this tour but I imagine if the crowds keep being completely dead during it like opening night it's not sticking around.
Parchment probably will be it's logical replacement, It may or may not get a better reception but at least all the trade off solos will make it more of a spectacle . And Bruce nailing MEET ME THEEEEEEREEEEEE will get a crowd response
