At work so the set list will come late. just a thought /comment:
At the San Diego show few weeks back, that second encore ACES -was a shock and a thrill to those in the audience
that didn’t know it was coming. How about holding Alexander to this spot? The band gets a blow prior…and The disappointment of it not making the set turns to absolute bliss when the kings voice ‘shatters the still’!!
 
Sure why not, this is a setlist I would be reasonably happy with as well as one that I think is realistically possible.

1. Blade Runner into Caught Somewhere In Time
2. Sea of Madness
3. Days of Future Past
4. The Writing on the Wall
5. The Time Machine
6. Phantom of the Opera
7. Heaven Can Wait
8. Children of the Damned
9. Stranger in a Strange Land
10. The Parchment
11. Fear of the Dark
12. Iron Maiden

A couple thoughts I had as I was making this. Going over the possible song selection and trying to work in “plus other other classic cuts” has me convinced of a few things. For one, not playing Alexander the Great doesn’t seem that outrageous with this setlist. You have two songs that haven’t been played since the 80s, one that hasn’t been played since 1999, and a bunch of debuts of new songs. That should be enough to make any reasonable person happy. I am also struggling to see them doing five songs per album. Right now I have 5 from Somewhere in Time and 4 from Senjutsu, I could easily go the other way though and swap Sea of Madness for either Stratego or another unplayed song. Not sure which is more likely, this set seems light on Senjutsu stuff but also keep in mind three of those songs are past 7 minutes. I think you’re going to get two songs from neither album sprinkled in, Phantom and Children of the Damned seem like two go to’s for classics that don’t get played every tour.

Very similar to what i expect. Maybe The Trooper for Stratego but thats pretty much what i had in a different order
 
Blade Runner intro
1) Caught Somewhere in Time
2) Days of Future Past
3) Sea of Madness
4) The Writing on the Wall
5) The Trooper
6) Stranger in a Strange Land
7) Wasted Years
8) The Time Machine
9) Alexander the Great
10) The Parchment
11) Phantom of the Opera
12) Fear of the Dark
13) Iron Maiden

Encore:
14) The Number of the Beast
15) Heaven Can Wait
16) Hell on Earth

There are six SiT songs here - in which I don't think they'll do that many, so one of them could be removed or replaced. Otherwise? This setlist is partially based on the original Somewhere on Tour setlist, hence the ordering.
 
  1. Alexander The Great
  2. Stratego
  3. The Trooper
  4. Days Of Future Past
  5. The Parchment
  6. Stranger In A Strange Land
  7. The Writing On The Wall
  8. Heaven Can Wait
  9. Fear Of The Dark
  10. Hell On Earth
  11. The Number Of The Beast
  12. Iron Maiden

  1. Caught Somewhere In Time
  2. Wasted Years
  3. Hallowed Be Thy Name
I'm going to bet on Alexander as the start of the show. I know the start is almost certainly CSIT, but Alexander would be an amazing start.

I think this would be a good mix of Senjutsu, SIT, crowd pleasures and deep cuts. A boy can dream. Just give me some more A Matter of Life and Death god damn it.
