With the Legacy of the Beast tour approaching (and I'm a fanatic no spoilers guy, especially when it comes to Maiden, so I propose this idea but I won't be around to see how it went ), what do you think will be in the setlist? we can follow the tour announcement and the little rumors here and there to predict a reasonable setlist.
I'd suggest these guidelines:
- Respect the tour announcement. Classics of the '80s and some newer songs.
- No more than 17 songs. 16 if you use two 10 minute-ish songs. 15 if you use a longer song like Rime.
- Strongly hinted songs are For the Greater Good of God and Flight of Icarus, find some room for those.
- Three songs as encore, last of the main set must be Iron Maiden.
- Bruce said he wanted "social media madness" after the first show, try to predict what he will come up with now that he has more control over the setlist!
(I hope it's not Alex the Great. To this point I'd rather have them not play it than giving in to those that tour after tour continue to insist in the hope they'd do it )
Hell no! Not that snoozefest. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns or Lord of Light please
. But I'm in. And I'll make two: my dream set and a likely set.
Also, I'm happily surprised if they play Icarus. I thought Steve hates it.
What I'd want1. Churchill's Speech/Aces High
2. Purgatory (you can always dream, right
)
3. 2 Minutes to Midnight
4. Revelations
5. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
6. Flight of Icarus
7. No Prayer for the Dying (not gonna happen, but still
)
8. Blood Brothers
9. 22 Acacia Avenue
10. The Book of Souls
11. Infinite Dreams
12. Wasted Years
13. Iron Maiden
---------------------------
14. The Number of the Beast
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name (they're allowed to play it again, right?)
16. Running Free
To be fair, they'll play The Trooper and Run to the Hills anyway so...
The more realistic set1. Churchill's Speech/Aces High
2. Wrathchild
3. Ghost of the Navigator
4. The Trooper
5. For the Greater Meh of God
6. Flight of Icarus
7. Rime of the Ancient Mariner
8. The Evil That Men Do
9. Wasted Years
10. The Book of Souls
11. Run to the Hills
12. Iron Maiden
---------------------------
13. The Number of the Beast
14. Fear of the Dark
15. Hallowed Be Thy Name
E: I just realized there's only two "new" songs there... well I replace 2 Minutes with Ghost of the Navigator then.
