This is the 'beware spoilers within' thread, too, soon to become even more spoilery.

That is the worst case scenario... You do everything right to avoid spoilers and then an hour before the gig you meet a dude who rants how he's looking foward to eg. Sea Of Madness.
Anyway if the official setlist is found somewhere (YT rehearsal video or a photo from the rehearsal room), which I highly doubt, I will still post it in a spoiler so the yet undecided people can back off before the discussion fires up.

I decided that it's not worthy. I want to be able to know which songs i'll look (even more) forward. But, i'll play in spoiler tags as well, i don't want to ruin the happiness of the other users

I think that everyone already saw that fake set (it is obviously fake, so i'll not put on a spoiler tag), but i'm posting for the following reason: am i the only one that would love to see Sign of the Cross being played live again, eventually? I love this song, it's on my personal top3 of the 90's and, may you all excuse me, on my personal favourites of Maiden.

If Maiden were going to do a Blaze era song, I'd much rather it be one they have done only with Blaze and not Bruce except Angel And The Gambler. I'd give anything to hear Blood On The World's Hands, Lightning Strikes Twice, or When Two Worlds Collide with Bruce.

Id rather hear Blaze to Deja-Vu than hear Bruce do When Two Worlds Collide

The Aftermath or even Virus

Dance of death should be on this tour. BOS=DOD

Book of Souls (song) kinda takes the place of DOD, if you ask me.

I agree. You can argue that there's space for Dance of Death on the set (in 2011, they played it with Talisman and WTWWB, after all), but i don't see they playing it. Maybe Paschendale, but considering that they had problems with that song in 2010...maybe a AMOLAD song (although this isn't exactly a "light fan" pleaser)
Not with both Red and the Black and Book of Souls, in my opinion. I'd like to see something from DoD the album, but like someone said earlier, Rainmaker would be more likely.

Who's up for a setlist primarily made up of epics?

No More Lies (x48)
I'd like that, yes.
Travis The Dragon
AFTERGLOW!!!
I would love that! Even if it meant fewer songs because of length that would rule because the longer epics are almost always my most favorite songs on their albums.

Oh, I was imagining a normal length setlist, with some TBOS tracks thrown in! My god, that'd be a heavy set to get through.

Montesguer would be a nice change.
Never played live. I'm not holding my breath.

Absolutely zero chance. Id love a bit more unpredictability with setlist choices. Although I dont ever want to see Metallica style medleys, play a song or dont!Never played live. I'm not holding my breath.

Medleys really suck, I agree. There's a tendency for legacy bands to go out there and play medleys in an attempt to please literally everyone, but it always pisses me off. Metallica will sometimes play a whole song and just reference another song with a riff jam or something, which I do think is kinda cool. "Oh, you're playing Ride the Lightning from start to finish but WAIT that's a riff from Bleeding Me?! Ok!"
