Re: Would you like to see the full album performed live?
No, not really. I'd rather hear a balanced set of 2000s, 90s, and 80s Maiden with Coming Home, El Dorado, Starblind, When the Wild Wind Blows, The Final Frontier, and Isle of Avalon from the new album. Alternatively, the same but with all TFF songs replaced by Starblind.
Why? Playing albums has become too much of a trend lately. Maiden did it with AMOLAD. I've seen Slayer do it. I've almost seen Megadeth do it. TFF is a great album, but AMOLAD was more deserving of being played live from start to finish. There are Maiden songs that I want to see live more than many TFF songs. When the Wild Wind Blows is excellent, but I would choose Rime over it any day of the week though I have seen the song live twice (one of the best live experiences I've had ever). The Alchemist is a great rocker, but I would take Wasted Years if I had the choice. El Dorado is a good live song, but These Colours Don't Run works better. Basically, for almost each song on TFF, there is a song of similar style and length that I would probably want to hear more. I would say only Starblind and Coming Home are ones that I absolutely
must have in the set list.
That being said, I will not object to any individual TFF song being in the set list, as they are all deserving to be played live. I would certainly love the gig even if they played TFF all the way through. Also, if they decided to replace the songs not played from TFF with Run to the Hills, Wrathchild, The Trooper, Iron Maiden, Can I Play with Madness, and The Number of the Beast, I would absolutely take TFF.
