I must be the only fan who thinks CSIT is a better opener than Aces High or WED. I think we will still hear Wasted Years again from SIT.
Setlist isn't bad. Can't please everyone. I'd love to hear Run Silent, Run Deep, but I guess they're saving it for the eventual underwater gig...
I hope they come to the States - this setlist looks like my Ipod Maiden Playlist!! Don't mind the Blayze songs either, although Clansman always struck me as a bit over the top/over-rated. FREEEE-DUUUM!
I'm completely with you. While I like most of those songs, I could be perfectly happy if every single one was removed from the set list and replaced with something else. Most especially "Iron Maiden". I've always imagined Steve got took a marketing class somewhere and decided it was good branding to play the song named after his band at every show. You can ease up now, Steve. We all know the band name by this point.
I agree too but it occurred to me that - doesn’t the fact that Hallowed Be Thy Name is perennially played too (apart from recently) but doesn’t seem ‘overplayed’ (to me anyway) testify to its utter majesty? I left the Book Of Souls show in Houston early as I couldn’t bear to hear Fear of the Dark again. My friend who came with me was horrified!
On the Somewhere Back In Time tour, I did a bathroom break and a beer run. Not only am I sick of that song, I never liked it in the first place.
Thought I wasn't in town but just got a ticket for Berlin tomorrow at virtually the eleventh hour! Since thE bay had lots I even got it below face value. Super excited!
