So should have Iron Maiden changed their setlist for this leg of the tour? And if you would like to ROCK a Metal Pilgrim t-shirt at your next show, check it out here - metalpilgrim.net/
I don't think they should have changed it in this leg of the tour, but as I can't see a new Iron Maiden album soon and they still have to tour next summer, I believe that they should continue the Future and Past tour, but with many changes in the setlist. This way, I hope we get to hear Alexander the Great in Greece finally. (When Bruce played like two mins in his solo tour doesn't count😝)
@XxTheAwokenOnexX Steve said that they've got nothing ready yet and it takes so much time to finish a whole album, especially in a band in which each memeber has its own solo projects to work on.
Definitely. It's a crime that Darkest hour has not been played. So I would easily change Celts with Darkest hour. I would also maybe change Can I play with Madness with any other classic.
No - it's an awesome setlist including many songs I've never seen them play before (and I've seen them about a dozen times), and I'd be bummed if they didn't bring it to my local show. What I love about Iron Maiden is that they change the setlist BETWEEN tours - so next time (and last time) I see them there will be different songs. As opposed to the actual "Legacy" bands who have been rehashing the same 3-4 albums for 35 years - Iron Maiden does some "legacy" tours, but the fact that they still play half of each new album live and that every other tour is an album tour means that they are still a "new music" band, and not a "legacy act."
Just got back from night 2 in Melbourne. MAGNIFICENT!! They're a real band. They swing with Nick and there is a tearaway quality that is brilliant. Sensational show. Fear not fellow Maiden lovers. The band is on fire! Up The Irons evermore!!
Saw them in Melbourne this evening and thought they were absolutely incredible! Set list was amazing, energy was outstanding and the accuracy of the songs was brilliant! Absolutely loved every minute of it!
Just saw their Saturday night show in Melbourne. During the show I was thinking how great Bruce was sounding; better than in 2016. The whole band was awesome.
This will be the first time my wife and I get to see Maiden, even though we've been lifelong fans since the 80's. What's even more amazing is that Judas Priest is coming only 4 short days before, and it will be our first time seeing them as well. And, we somehow managed to get floor ticket to both shows!!! It's going to be a weekend for the two of us to remember for the rest of our lives!
I was at Melbourne Night 1. Was an amazing show with awesome visuals & all the band sounded great. Great to hear songs from the new album, but i thought 5 was maybe too many, as they ran for ~40 mins in total. Instead of Time Machine, I would have preferred 2 shorter songs (old or new). I loved the focus on SBIT album with 5 songs, but many other albums were not touched (including Killers & Powerslave). Personally I would have preferred something else from NOTB than only ‘Prisoner’. Still a great set list tho and was great to hear so many songs live for the first time. Would definitely recommend to see them on this tour.
Just went to the Adelaide, South Australia, concert last night........... 🤯🤯🤯 fuckin amazing!!!! I've been a Maiden fan since the early 80s and I'm a bass player so Harry is a big inspiration for me, but to see Nicko last night, gave me a tear of joy to see him still being Nicko. What an incredible concert, as much as I'd like to have seen a few more traditional 80s track, it was bloody epic. The crowd response for Fear Of The Dark was massive. Death Of The Celt, loved it 🤘 The whole concert is still right up there in quality, I loved it.
Yes, but I knew they wouldn’t. There was no time to rehearse anything with Bruce out on tour for the last 6 months. Was really hoping that The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner was going to be part of this tour. It just seems like it would be a great fan participation song.
There was plenty of time to rehearse new song or two - as they have spent 2 weeks in Perth rehearsing before the first shows. The Rolling Stones usually rehearse for like 3 weeks before each tour and cover 50+ songs to choose from. Remember that band members also practise all separately before gathering together for the rehearsals.
@@SanktuariuM Then they wouldn’t have had time to pause and enjoy life a little in their senior years, before throwing themselves right back into the grind again.
@@SanktuariuM Maiden's music is a lot more complex than the Stones (nothing against them, they are absolute legends). Also Maiden has 3 guitars and need to plan the arrangements (who's going to play what), so is not that easy. Anyway UP THE IRONS!
Deja Vu (N 1) and the Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (N 2) are by far the best songs of Somewhere in time album. (Heaven can wait is a pretty good song but with awful pop chorus.) The two worst songs by far are Sea of Madness and Stranger in a Strange Land but Maiden chose them for their live shows instead of their best songs from the album. Disturbing!
I’m Italian and I’ve missed the concert they made in Milan in 2023, so I will fly to USA just to see them in Brooklyn this November. I can’t wait the hear this setlist, especially Alexander the Great and Stranger in a Strange Land. I hope to have the possibility to see them in Europe all together in 2025, we have to organize a meeting of the Metal Pilgrim community! Thanks for the video and up the Irons 🤟🏼
My ex-fiancee is from Milan. I flew over there to meet her family back in 2009. It's a beautiful city. Have fun when you come over here to the States to see Maiden.
I've got tickets for all 7 shows in Australia, I also won FTTB for Adelaide and the 2nd show in Melbourne. Let me tell you, the band sounds amazing but I did notice that Bruce's voice was way better in the Adelaide's show and also the whole band looked like they enjoyed more the second show than the one in Perth, I guess the first show of a tour is always a warm up for the rest of shows. Also Steve Harris is playing with British Lion, 1 show in every city the day before performing with Maiden, I had the chance to see BL too in this tour and they are unbelievable live. Nicko looks fantastic, I was lucky enough to be at the barrier, both shows. Anyway First show in Melbourne is in T-minus 20 hours and I can't sleep for the excitement. Up the irons!!
Death of the Celts is a GREAT song. It’s been an instant favorite off Senjutsu ever since the album came out. I’m surprised it seems to get a mixed reaction from fans sometimes. It’s classic story telling Maiden, folky sounding, great harmonies, epic, lots of awesome solos. It’ll be one of the highlights for me when I see this tour next month 🤘🏼
They sounded incredible during the recent concert. Bruce has been sounding better in 2024 than he has since the cancer diagnosis. He sounds incredible.
Totally excited and very happy they kept the same setlist. I didn’t see any of the previous dates because I live on the eastern side of the US. So people need to relax and let other people enjoy the setlist that is coming to them now.
Being at the Perth show I can say they were full of energy and they looked and sounded like they were enjoying themselves. They spent the week in Perth and their performance showed how energised they were. Up the Irons
I saw them on the 24th when I was on holiday in Osaka last week. And they were fantastic. Especially Bruce and Nicko were great , they just keep getting better.
They just get better and better. Was totally blown away Tuesday night here in Brisbane. Apart from one moment in The Trooper, Bruce nailed the vocals, best sounding vocals from him, PERIOD! The sound, mix, lighting, everything was awesome. Also loved that 5 songs from Somewhere in Time were played, along with the Senjutsu material for the Future Past theme of the show. I didn't mind missing out on some of the songs that made them the band they are. Up there as the best concert I've ever experienced!
So pumped I am getting to see Iron Maiden next month. Saw them last year on this tour. I don't care that Nicko may not play something perfect. I really didn't even notice last year if there was a change. Maiden is so amazing.
I was at the Perth show , front left , in front of my fav guitarists Dave and Adrian , the whole band was amazing , the set was amazing , loved death of the celts live , and great too hear stranger live here for the first time , I don’t know how they do it but they just keep getting better , 🤞they come back for another tour
I first saw Maiden in the early early 80s. I think it was their first tour in the US. They were an opening band. I had their album already. Our local station used to play them. (Joe Anthony “The Godfather “). I’ve seen Maiden a few times thru the years. And will see them again in November. I am excited to go. Hey we all got old. 😂
Death of the Celts is a massive song! I haven't seen this tour, 'cause Maiden didn't bring it to Portugal and I couldn't really go abroad. Saw them in 2022. I'm hoping they do a round 2 of this tour and decide to include us.
I didn't care about the songs of the new album, when I went last year, but listening to the album in preparation for the concert I got to enjoy them a lot. Those songs are great, but yes, I would prefer the Somewhere in Time to be played back to back.
Attended Sydney last night, while they're older, they are no less Maiden than ever, FANTASTIC show (albeit a leaner stage set), they were firing on all cylinders. Writing On The Wall and Days Of Future Past were GREAT live, and Bruce's voice live sounds better than I've heard it in YEARS, possibly the best since Brave New World! Another BRILLIANT Maiden experience from the best band of all time \m/
I bought my tickets for so cal. As soon as they went on sale at the beginning of the year for my son and myself. Will be our 5th show together. Been a fan since the 80s . 🤘🏻
Saw Maiden last night in Sydney. They were on fire. The whole band but particularly Bruce killed it his voice was amazing.Nico was great, he kept it simple but so happy he is still playing. He is such a great bloke. Only song I wish they included was the loneliness of the long distance runner, love that song. Listen to it every time I go for a run.
I saw them at Denmark’s Copenhell Festival in June 2022 on their and the band was absolutely on fire 🔥 Unfortunately The Future Past Tour didn’t come to Denmark, I tried to get tickets to see them in Gemany, but didn’t make it time.. so I missed out that tour 😢 I’m hoping from the bottom of my heart that they’ll return to Denmark again in 2025, maybe with some very special tour for their 50th anniversary 🖤🤘
November 1, 2024 in Philadelphia. I cannot wait. I saw them at Reading in 1980 and they were amazing then. Saw Dickinson with Samson on the same bill. :) I'm old.
Would be great to hear some other songs, I'll admit! But they obviously have next year up their sleeve and we have to think of Nicko. Just glad we have a touring Iron Maiden🤘
We had some nice sunny weather this week and last in Perth ( for a change this horrible winter!) and Steve played a charity football( soccer) match and solo club gig and no doubt Adrian whent sea fishing and the rest reaxed around town so they were charged up and in a great mood for their 1st show.
Went to the Perth show and it was amazing. I couldn't believe how strong Bruce's voice was right from the start, I hope he can look after it for the whole tour. Guitars and bass didn't miss a beat and Nicko's drumming.... well he might not bash the drums with as much vigor as he did in his 30's but you wouldn't have known that by the booming sound coming out of the drum kit. Talk about fucking legends. I knew what the set list was in 2023 so it was good to be able to download the songs for my 11 year old to listen to so he wouldn't just know the classics like Fear of the Dark and Can I Play with Madness and Trooper, but with a back catalogue as big as Maiden's, there is always going to be favourites left out (otherwise they would play for half the day literally). Would be good to see No Prayer for the Dying given some love though
I saw them last night I’m Adelaide. Absolutely phenomenal performance by the legends. As much as I love the old stuff too I love senjutsu and I actually thought death of the celts was the highlight of the set.
Was at the Perth show and thought it was a fantastic show. I think Bruce and Nicko (with his obvious issues) are both wound back to a degree. Nicko will not be the same again but he was certainly solid. Bruce has maybe realised nothing suffers if he doesn't oversing or force notes. Be thankful that after 50 years we can still experience a show of this magnitude and quality, plenty of old and not so old bands are just clipping their retirement tickets. Iron Maiden are still amazing!
I believe that the decision of not to change the set is ‘fair’ for the fans. In 2016 I had the opportunity to see them in Buenos Aires and I have no complaints about the setlist, but in the second leg of the tour, they made some changes and added The great unknown, which is my favorite song on the album and that really made me sad, so I understand. Personally, I would like to change The time machine and Death of the celts, simply because I would prefer Lost in a lost world and The parchment (also, death of the celts is quite similar to the clansman and we already had the song in the previous tour, so it may feel a little repetitive). I would also like to see something different from Somewhere in time instead of Heaven can wait. But we have to consider they have to feel comfortable with the songs they play, especially for Nicko’s situation. Anyways, I'm waiting for the shows in Buenos Aires again and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be perfect as always. Up the Irons!
I was fortunate to get to both Melbourne shows (standing first night, great seat second night) and have to agree - they were absolutely epic! I actually enjoyed Death of the Celts more on the second night - can't put my finger on what was different - maybe it was just me, haha! Anyway it was brilliant and I can only hope it's not the last time we see them. Up the Irons!
What would be really cool if you put up a long list play of Maiden songs to see what songs do fans would most like to hear in a concert if you understand what I'm saying❤❤❤🎉
Thanks for the light brother and thank you for the live show last week it was the first time I actually ever participated and you said my name pronounce it wrong but it was still so cool
I love the setlist but maybe replacing Can I Play With Madness with Deja Vu, Senjutsu, Stratego or The Evil That Men Do would have been even better. I hope they will release a full pro shot of the Wacken 2023 show after the tour ends, or maybe also a live recording from Chile or Brazil.
I also hope they will do a Anniversary tour after The Future Past Tour with songs like The Reincartion Of Benjamin Breeg or Wasting Love on the setlist, maybe even a rotating setlist so there will be more songs overall played 🤘
I’m probably in the minority here but I like Can I Play with Madness in this setlist. It’s such a complex and deep setlist, this song works as a simple straight forward breath of fresh air, and it’s quite the crowd chanter.
Saw them in Dublin & loved it - would have personally loved The Parchment rather than Death of the Celts but that aside think it was a great set list ! Nicko is the ultimate trooper & lets enjoy every moment we still have with the greatest band there is. Up the Irons!
Perhaps a couple of tweaks here and there; either Deja-Vu or Sea Of Madness, from Somewhere; and The Parchment, from Senjutsu. Even take the risk and add Total Eclipse in place of Prisoner. Anyway, the set is staggering as it is! Cheers!
Funny how you loved the Aus tour exclusive shirt, most Aussie's don't like it. I think that's because it's a little too cliché for our liking. My son got the stubby holder of it though. After Bruce tripped over Janick's lead, Bruce mocked stringing Janick up by it which your clip missed. Was very funny and Bruce was in a very fun mood on Sunday night even getting in a really bad Dad joke for Fathers day in Australia. Killswitch Engage playing Holy Diver as their last set list song was quite fun, the crowd really liked it with a lot of crowd participation.
Saw them with my 5yo lad in Melbourne - amazing show and he was loving every second. While the band energy and the show were breathtaking I have to say Bruce's voice sounds tired at times, the words are no longer as clear when he is singing fast sections. I wonder how much longer they can keep this going. Wish they had played classics like Number of the Beast and Hallowed be thy name though. Up the Irons!
Removing songs from Senjutsu. Introducing Sea of Madness, Deja vu and The loneliness or some tracks from, No Prayer, Virtual and X Factor would be awesome too
Australian Iron Maiden fans are all very connected to The Number Of The Beast album, that's what broke Maiden in Oz. Of course the fans in Australia are disappointed with the set list.
Hey Metal Pilgrim. How's this for a guess of the new Iron maiden setlist. They play tracks off each album in REVERSE release order. 1. Be quick or be dead 2. Afraid to shoot strangers 3. Tailgunner 4. Holy Smoke 5. Infinite dreams 6. Loneliness of the long distance runner 7. Sea of madness 8. Rime of the ancient mariner 9. Two mins to midnight 10. Still life 11. Sun and Steel 12. Number of the beast 13. Hallowed be thy name 14. Run to the hills Encore 15. Wrathchild 16. Sanctuary 17. Phantom of the opera 18. Iron maiden 19. Running free. What do you think?
I believe Nicko sounded amazing and performed faster and better than last year. I prefer part of Nicko as opposed to anyone else. Nicko is as much Maiden as is Eddie. UP THE IRONS 🤘
No, this is the setlist I want. Let the rest of us get to hear what Europe got last year. I'm going in November to the show in Philadelphia. My name is Alexander, so you can guess which song I've been wanting to hear live my (almost) entire life. 😉Also I really am looking forward to Death of the Celts as I fell in love with that one right away on Sunjutsu. It reminds me of some stuff they did in A Matter of Life and Death and Dance of Death albums, like a continuation of a story. Also, I'm a student of Celtic history, so it has some sentimentality also.
Maybe the tour in 2025 when they celebrate 50 years of the band, it will maybe be connected with a new updated best of album, Half a century of the Beast. I noticed that on their website the singles and live albums are updated but the compilaion albums (somewhere back in time and from fear to eternity) are gone. So maybe their will be a new special compilation album ... I guess.
As someone who went to both shows in Melbourne, the worst thing about the shows was the crowd. The band was INCREDIBLE, especially on night 1, as a couple times on night 2, Bruce was a little out of sync with the band. I have zero complaints about Nicko's drumming on both nights, he was incredible. Back to the crowd, it was dead up in the seating, but down on the floor towards the front (where I was on night 2) it was awesome. The majority of the crowd being 50+ though, they were probably just sitting there, just enjoying the show
The only thing that keeps this setlist from being [perfect to me is no Sea Of Madness. I'll be seeing them twice in November. I'm beyond excited for it!
I was at night #1 in Melbourne. I bought the Australian shirt and it’s very cool. Overall, it’s frustrating that the setlist was exactly the same- I would love to hear Steve’s reasoning for it. But nevertheless, they did sound stronger than they did at this time last year and I think we will be rewarded with an even more excellent setlist for 2025 for the 50th anniversary.
I’ve accepted that adding in Deja Vu, Sea of Madness, or Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is not really a reality when it comes to a Maiden setlist. However, I wish they would’ve replaced Death of the Celts with The Parchment on this leg of the tour, and maybe replace Fear of the Dark with Hallowed.
They did not play fear of the dark in 2005 because of playing only materials from 1980 to 1983...and many people (not me) were upset because it is the most popular song and the only song live can gather EVERYBODY in the audience.
@@mrsam1975 they’ve played Fear of the Dark on the last couple of tours. It needs a rest. Its definitely not the only song to “gather everybody in the audience”
I think the sometimes lukewarm reception to the “Senjutsu” songs might be because she that album isn’t really the easiest to listen to often. It is long, the songs do not have the catchy hooks and chorus that many other do, and they are no ones to sing along to. As far as the set list - we sometimes forget that the concerts are for the band as much as for the fans. The bands get sick of playing the same old hits every night and want to remind us that they are still active and creative and producing new great music. They don’t want to be considered a ‘greatest hits’ band. Also, the same set list in a different part of the world is always new to different fan bases. These Australian fans might not have seem Iron Maiden in years and they may not have seen the 2023 European shows. It’s new to them. Also for such a large, intricate production - the same list every night is a must for the production, tithe crew, the sound and the lights. So the show goes off perfectly every night. We get spoiled as fans being able to see so much information on the internet. It is a fine balance between playing the songs that the fans want and the ones that the band wants to play. I really find it interesting how Metallica are playing completely different set lists every show. It keeps it interesting for the band, as a fan I really like NOT knowing the set list in advance so it is fresh and exciting. On the reverse of that - going to see Metallica and not hearing something like ‘Master Of Puppets’ played might be really disappointing. Regardless, we love the bands, love the shows, and are grateful that our favorite bands are still vibrant and touring. All of that being said… I hope when they tour the US this fall (and when I see them on 01 November 2024 that it is a different set list.
Now more than ever they should make a live dvd/BD video, cause I have been longing for years to get see it in my living room. Yes I know I get to see it live, but I want to see it more than once soo. On that note, I have a question I am not sure you have covered yet. On the topic somewhere in time, I did finally get a hold of the live footage from the original somewhere in time tour in pairs and another one I think. But, as many know It was a disappointing setlist as it only contained a fraction of the songs on the album. And it is also not a great recording since it is not official, but I always wondered, how is the music video of Stranger in a Strange Land so well documented, and did they record more? Cause they did take the time to make a video of that performance, or at least I'm pretty sure it is live. So is someone sitting on an awesome recording of the entire show??
They could literally play a show with all of their worst songs and I would still love it. With your comment about Australian fans enjoying death of the celts more than others, is probably due to the fact that they (and us in NZ) only see maiden like once every ten years. Last time I saw them was in 2016 on the book of souls tour and it was amazing so yeah - we’re just thankful they’ve come to our part of the world 😂😂
Let's face it.. the boys could play for over 3 hours and there would still be someone disappointed because they didn't play this or that. Personally I loved the concept of focusing on Sunjutsu and Somewhere in Time (my favourite album) and think they're perfectly matched. The sound and performance was fantastic in Perth... although the lounge audience didn't look very animated from my view point. Doesn't mean we weren't loving the show though!
Seeing them in Sydney in a week🤘. I don’t mind the setlist but wish they played Number Of The Beast. I’ve seen them play it before though so no big deal.
I have a question, Does Iron Maiden know of Ralph Mendes ? His RUclips videos are amazing . I have my tix for the Phoenix gig , taking the wife for her 6th maiden show ....

New Zealand on the 16th September. I am very much looking forward to this. Been a fan since 1987 when I was 15.
4 September 2024
Same here, a fan since 15 years old in 1987... but in Washington State USA🤘 and will be seeing Maiden in Tacoma WA this year
It was a great show in Perth, loved every second of it!

Death of the Celts is a GREAT song. It’s been an instant favorite off Senjutsu ever since the album came out. I’m surprised it seems to get a mixed reaction from fans sometimes. It’s classic story telling Maiden, folky sounding, great harmonies, epic, lots of awesome solos. It’ll be one of the highlights for me when I see this tour next month 🤘🏼
Sorry but for me it's the poor man's version of The Clansman
@@michaeldean7220It's way more fun to play than the clansman, atleast on bass
It’s the weakest of the setlist for me but to each their own.
Celts went off on Friday night! Glad they played it it was right up there
I feel like Steve missed the opportunity to make a memorable chorus here that would have worked brilliantly live.
Can't Wait seeing them tonight in Adelaide
You'll love it! 😁🤘
I'll be there, enjoy ;)
They sounded incredible during the recent concert. Bruce has been sounding better in 2024 than he has since the cancer diagnosis. He sounds incredible.
Totally excited and very happy they kept the same setlist. I didn’t see any of the previous dates because I live on the eastern side of the US. So people need to relax and let other people enjoy the setlist that is coming to them now.
They are touring USA too. September & October 2024.
Being at the Perth show I can say they were full of energy and they looked and sounded like they were enjoying themselves. They spent the week in Perth and their performance showed how energised they were.
Up the Irons
What a concert you saw, the audience was sleeping and they did their little task
@@eymerichinquisitore9022maiden need to retire
Seem very much wide awake, hardly sleeping.
Were you there? @@eymerichinquisitore9022
Look at those seas of audience members! Awesome!
Yeah they should just play SIT in its enterity
I saw them on the 24th when I was on holiday in Osaka last week. And they were fantastic. Especially Bruce and Nicko were great , they just keep getting better.
So excited for this saturday! First time seeing them, ever I'm so excited
They just get better and better. Was totally blown away Tuesday night here in Brisbane. Apart from one moment in The Trooper, Bruce nailed the vocals, best sounding vocals from him, PERIOD! The sound, mix, lighting, everything was awesome. Also loved that 5 songs from Somewhere in Time were played, along with the Senjutsu material for the Future Past theme of the show. I didn't mind missing out on some of the songs that made them the band they are. Up there as the best concert I've ever experienced!
The time that won't worth to watch Iron Maiden again, would be the day that I will be not alive!! Up the Irons!!
From Canada , keep courage brother, and thank you for your awesome work.
Saw them night 1 in Melbourne Sept 6 ... my 4th Maiden gig ... they ARE the BEST ... can't wait to see them on the next tour ... Up The Irons !
So pumped I am getting to see Iron Maiden next month. Saw them last year on this tour. I don't care that Nicko may not play something perfect. I really didn't even notice last year if there was a change. Maiden is so amazing.
My wife laughs about how i wear my MP shirt to almost every concert. If you're in Dallas and see me at a show wearing it, say hey.
Thank you so much, Scott! Yeah, we should start doing MP meetups at at least some of the concerts!
Well fingers crossed I’ll be seeing them in Osaka Japan.
did you go see LOVEBITES 2 DAYS AGO!!!!! if not you missed a great show!!!
I want a Live Album for that Tour.
They always do
@@jacquesberger Let's hope they won't change that attitude now. :D
But not only audio. Video as well...
@@georgekonstantinou2933 I'd be fine with a CD, to be honest.
I was at the Perth show , front left , in front of my fav guitarists Dave and Adrian , the whole band was amazing , the set was amazing , loved death of the celts live , and great too hear stranger live here for the first time , I don’t know how they do it but they just keep getting better , 🤞they come back for another tour
Seeing Maiden tonight in Adelaide and Melbourne on Friday & Saturday.... can't wait!! 🤘
I was at the Melbourne concert and Yes they are worth seeing. Bruce sounded amazing; they all were!
I first saw Maiden in the early early 80s. I think it was their first tour in the US. They were an opening band. I had their album already. Our local station used to play them. (Joe Anthony “The Godfather “). I’ve seen Maiden a few times thru the years. And will see them again in November. I am excited to go. Hey we all got old. 😂
Death of the Celts is a massive song!
I haven't seen this tour, 'cause Maiden didn't bring it to Portugal and I couldn't really go abroad. Saw them in 2022. I'm hoping they do a round 2 of this tour and decide to include us.
Selfishly I’m glad they kept it the same. If they had played Deja Vu in Australia but not in London I would have been upset!
Holy cow! Bruce sounds amazing!!
I didn't care about the songs of the new album, when I went last year, but listening to the album in preparation for the concert I got to enjoy them a lot. Those songs are great, but yes, I would prefer the Somewhere in Time to be played back to back.
Attended Sydney last night, while they're older, they are no less Maiden than ever, FANTASTIC show (albeit a leaner stage set), they were firing on all cylinders. Writing On The Wall and Days Of Future Past were GREAT live, and Bruce's voice live sounds better than I've heard it in YEARS, possibly the best since Brave New World! Another BRILLIANT Maiden experience from the best band of all time \m/
Me and my 13 year old son have tix for November: We can't wait!!
I wish they would've added The Parchment to the setlist
Either that or Stratego!! 👍🏻😎
The what?
@@eq1373 it's the second to last song on Senjustu
Yeah, that's the addition I was most hoping for. But it will be epic no matter what!
Melbourne in 3 days!!🤘🏻
Yes! Instead of Celts
I saw them in Pittsburgh on 11/8 and they were fantastic!
Can't wait to see them in Chicago!!
I bought my tickets for so cal. As soon as they went on sale at the beginning of the year for my son and myself. Will be our 5th show together. Been a fan since the 80s . 🤘🏻
35 days before their L.A. show cant wait.
Saw Maiden last night in Sydney. They were on fire. The whole band but particularly Bruce killed it his voice was amazing.Nico was great, he kept it simple but so happy he is still playing. He is such a great bloke.
Only song I wish they included was the loneliness of the long distance runner, love that song. Listen to it every time I go for a run.
I saw them at Denmark’s Copenhell Festival in June 2022 on their and the band was absolutely on fire 🔥
Unfortunately The Future Past Tour didn’t come to Denmark, I tried to get tickets to see them in Gemany, but didn’t make it time.. so I missed out that tour 😢
I’m hoping from the bottom of my heart that they’ll return to Denmark again in 2025, maybe with some very special tour for their 50th anniversary 🖤🤘
They should just play a Springsteen type show (three hours plus) and mix up the set list nightly like the Grateful Dead.
Can't wait and c them in Melbourne tomorrow night cant wait. As we in Australia didn't c them in 2020 as the tour got cancelled.
I went on Friday and got that cool t shirt , it was an awesome gig,
Can’t wait to see this show in Phoenix. Will be wearing my MP shirt.
I was there Melbourne 2. Off to Brisbane and Sydney 1 soon. They sound refreshed amd relaxed. Brucie on top form 😂❤
Saw British Lion last night. They were superb! 😉👌
Tonight it's Maiden! Scream for me Adelaide!!
I’m amazed at how great Bruce and Nicko sound. Up the irons!!!
November 1, 2024 in Philadelphia. I cannot wait. I saw them at Reading in 1980 and they were amazing then. Saw Dickinson with Samson on the same bill. :) I'm old.
Would be great to hear some other songs, I'll admit! But they obviously have next year up their sleeve and we have to think of Nicko. Just glad we have a touring Iron Maiden🤘
We had some nice sunny weather this week and last in Perth ( for a change this horrible winter!) and Steve played a charity football( soccer) match and solo club gig and no doubt Adrian whent sea fishing and the rest reaxed around town so they were charged up and in a great mood for their 1st show.
Went to the Perth show and it was amazing. I couldn't believe how strong Bruce's voice was right from the start, I hope he can look after it for the whole tour. Guitars and bass didn't miss a beat and Nicko's drumming.... well he might not bash the drums with as much vigor as he did in his 30's but you wouldn't have known that by the booming sound coming out of the drum kit. Talk about fucking legends.
I knew what the set list was in 2023 so it was good to be able to download the songs for my 11 year old to listen to so he wouldn't just know the classics like Fear of the Dark and Can I Play with Madness and Trooper, but with a back catalogue as big as Maiden's, there is always going to be favourites left out (otherwise they would play for half the day literally).
Would be good to see No Prayer for the Dying given some love though
Thanks for sharing.
I saw them last night I’m Adelaide. Absolutely phenomenal performance by the legends. As much as I love the old stuff too I love senjutsu and I actually thought death of the celts was the highlight of the set.
Was at the Perth show and thought it was a fantastic show. I think Bruce and Nicko (with his obvious issues) are both wound back to a degree. Nicko will not be the same again but he was certainly solid. Bruce has maybe realised nothing suffers if he doesn't oversing or force notes. Be thankful that after 50 years we can still experience a show of this magnitude and quality, plenty of old and not so old bands are just clipping their retirement tickets. Iron Maiden are still amazing!
Wish it came to FL
I really hope they are coming to Denmark with this tour.
And also hoping for a live dvd, blu-ray, cd, and vinyl
I believe that the decision of not to change the set is ‘fair’ for the fans. In 2016 I had the opportunity to see them in Buenos Aires and I have no complaints about the setlist, but in the second leg of the tour, they made some changes and added The great unknown, which is my favorite song on the album and that really made me sad, so I understand.
Personally, I would like to change The time machine and Death of the celts, simply because I would prefer Lost in a lost world and The parchment (also, death of the celts is quite similar to the clansman and we already had the song in the previous tour, so it may feel a little repetitive). I would also like to see something different from Somewhere in time instead of Heaven can wait.
But we have to consider they have to feel comfortable with the songs they play, especially for Nicko’s situation.
Anyways, I'm waiting for the shows in Buenos Aires again and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be perfect as always. Up the Irons!
Seeing the boys next week in Brisbane!
I was fortunate to get to both Melbourne shows (standing first night, great seat second night) and have to agree - they were absolutely epic! I actually enjoyed Death of the Celts more on the second night - can't put my finger on what was different - maybe it was just me, haha! Anyway it was brilliant and I can only hope it's not the last time we see them. Up the Irons!
And yeah I got the shark tour shirt - very classic vibe and loved the detail, including other deadly things like the blue-ringed octopus. 😉
What would be really cool if you put up a long list play of Maiden songs to see what songs do fans would most like to hear in a concert if you understand what I'm saying❤❤❤🎉
Thanks for the light brother and thank you for the live show last week it was the first time I actually ever participated and you said my name pronounce it wrong but it was still so cool
I love the setlist but maybe replacing Can I Play With Madness with Deja Vu, Senjutsu, Stratego or The Evil That Men Do would have been even better. I hope they will release a full pro shot of the Wacken 2023 show after the tour ends, or maybe also a live recording from Chile or Brazil.
I also hope they will do a Anniversary tour after The Future Past Tour with songs like The Reincartion Of Benjamin Breeg or Wasting Love on the setlist, maybe even a rotating setlist so there will be more songs overall played 🤘
100% agree with you
I’m probably in the minority here but I like Can I Play with Madness in this setlist. It’s such a complex and deep setlist, this song works as a simple straight forward breath of fresh air, and it’s quite the crowd chanter.
@@RockandMetalMusicArchives It has been a long time since we have heard Fear of the Dark now. Time to add that one to the setlist as well?
Saw them in Dublin & loved it - would have personally loved The Parchment rather than Death of the Celts but that aside think it was a great set list ! Nicko is the ultimate trooper & lets enjoy every moment we still have with the greatest band there is. Up the Irons!
Perhaps a couple of tweaks here and there; either Deja-Vu or Sea Of Madness, from Somewhere; and The Parchment, from Senjutsu. Even take the risk and add Total Eclipse in place of Prisoner. Anyway, the set is staggering as it is! Cheers!
Funny how you loved the Aus tour exclusive shirt, most Aussie's don't like it. I think that's because it's a little too cliché for our liking. My son got the stubby holder of it though. After Bruce tripped over Janick's lead, Bruce mocked stringing Janick up by it which your clip missed. Was very funny and Bruce was in a very fun mood on Sunday night even getting in a really bad Dad joke for Fathers day in Australia. Killswitch Engage playing Holy Diver as their last set list song was quite fun, the crowd really liked it with a lot of crowd participation.
Really???? OMG, it's one of the shirts I loved the most SPECIFICALLY, because it is so cliche and old-school ;) haha
i was at the perth show in australia. It was great when they played prisoner and somewhere in time
Saw them with my 5yo lad in Melbourne - amazing show and he was loving every second. While the band energy and the show were breathtaking I have to say Bruce's voice sounds tired at times, the words are no longer as clear when he is singing fast sections. I wonder how much longer they can keep this going. Wish they had played classics like Number of the Beast and Hallowed be thy name though. Up the Irons!
Removing songs from Senjutsu. Introducing Sea of Madness, Deja vu and The loneliness or some tracks from, No Prayer, Virtual and X Factor would be awesome too
Australian Iron Maiden fans are all very connected to The Number Of The Beast album, that's what broke Maiden in Oz. Of course the fans in Australia are disappointed with the set list.
Hey Metal Pilgrim.
How's this for a guess of the new Iron maiden setlist.
They play tracks off each album in REVERSE release order.
1. Be quick or be dead
2. Afraid to shoot strangers
3. Tailgunner
4. Holy Smoke
5. Infinite dreams
6. Loneliness of the long distance runner
7. Sea of madness
8. Rime of the ancient mariner
9. Two mins to midnight
10. Still life
11. Sun and Steel
12. Number of the beast
13. Hallowed be thy name
14. Run to the hills
Encore
15. Wrathchild
16. Sanctuary
17. Phantom of the opera
18. Iron maiden
19. Running free.
What do you think?
I believe Nicko sounded amazing and performed faster and better than last year. I prefer part of Nicko as opposed to anyone else. Nicko is as much Maiden as is Eddie. UP THE IRONS 🤘
Loneliness! I need it live!
I'm really pissed that the Alexander the Great shirt wasn't available in Leipzig last year.
🙈🤣
Just seen en 3 days ago badass as ever
i am going to Baltimore and Charlotte USA!
It's not a question of Maiden changing the setlist. For me, I've been finally priced out of seeing them.
Fr, prices are stupid
I only saw maiden Four times in the eighties with Niko.
No, this is the setlist I want. Let the rest of us get to hear what Europe got last year. I'm going in November to the show in Philadelphia. My name is Alexander, so you can guess which song I've been wanting to hear live my (almost) entire life. 😉Also I really am looking forward to Death of the Celts as I fell in love with that one right away on Sunjutsu. It reminds me of some stuff they did in A Matter of Life and Death and Dance of Death albums, like a continuation of a story. Also, I'm a student of Celtic history, so it has some sentimentality also.
Maybe the tour in 2025 when they celebrate 50 years of the band, it will maybe be connected with a new updated best of album, Half a century of the Beast. I noticed that on their website the singles and live albums are updated but the compilaion albums (somewhere back in time and from fear to eternity) are gone. So maybe their will be a new special compilation album ... I guess.
As someone who went to both shows in Melbourne, the worst thing about the shows was the crowd.
The band was INCREDIBLE, especially on night 1, as a couple times on night 2, Bruce was a little out of sync with the band. I have zero complaints about Nicko's drumming on both nights, he was incredible.
Back to the crowd, it was dead up in the seating, but down on the floor towards the front (where I was on night 2) it was awesome. The majority of the crowd being 50+ though, they were probably just sitting there, just enjoying the show
The only thing that keeps this setlist from being [perfect to me is no Sea Of Madness.
I'll be seeing them twice in November. I'm beyond excited for it!
I was at night #1 in Melbourne. I bought the Australian shirt and it’s very cool. Overall, it’s frustrating that the setlist was exactly the same- I would love to hear Steve’s reasoning for it. But nevertheless, they did sound stronger than they did at this time last year and I think we will be rewarded with an even more excellent setlist for 2025 for the 50th anniversary.
I’ve accepted that adding in Deja Vu, Sea of Madness, or Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner is not really a reality when it comes to a Maiden setlist. However, I wish they would’ve replaced Death of the Celts with The Parchment on this leg of the tour, and maybe replace Fear of the Dark with Hallowed.
And I’ll add, I don’t understand the hate for The Time Machine. I’m really looking forward to seeing that one live.
Replacing Fear Of The Dark with anything is blasphemy 😉
They did not play fear of the dark in 2005 because of playing only materials from 1980 to 1983...and many people (not me) were upset because it is the most popular song and the only song live can gather EVERYBODY in the audience.
@@mrsam1975 they’ve played Fear of the Dark on the last couple of tours. It needs a rest. Its definitely not the only song to “gather everybody in the audience”
@@logandumont well fear of the dark is one of highlights of a maiden show it's a fact.
I think the sometimes lukewarm reception to the “Senjutsu” songs might be because she that album isn’t really the easiest to listen to often. It is long, the songs do not have the catchy hooks and chorus that many other do, and they are no ones to sing along to.
As far as the set list - we sometimes forget that the concerts are for the band as much as for the fans. The bands get sick of playing the same old hits every night and want to remind us that they are still active and creative and producing new great music. They don’t want to be considered a ‘greatest hits’ band.
Also, the same set list in a different part of the world is always new to different fan bases. These Australian fans might not have seem Iron Maiden in years and they may not have seen the 2023 European shows. It’s new to them.
Also for such a large, intricate production - the same list every night is a must for the production, tithe crew, the sound and the lights. So the show goes off perfectly every night.
We get spoiled as fans being able to see so much information on the internet.
It is a fine balance between playing the songs that the fans want and the ones that the band wants to play.
I really find it interesting how Metallica are playing completely different set lists every show. It keeps it interesting for the band, as a fan I really like NOT knowing the set list in advance so it is fresh and exciting. On the reverse of that - going to see Metallica and not hearing something like ‘Master Of Puppets’ played might be really disappointing.
Regardless, we love the bands, love the shows, and are grateful that our favorite bands are still vibrant and touring.
All of that being said… I hope when they tour the US this fall (and when I see them on 01 November 2024 that it is a different set list.
Now more than ever they should make a live dvd/BD video, cause I have been longing for years to get see it in my living room. Yes I know I get to see it live, but I want to see it more than once soo.
On that note, I have a question I am not sure you have covered yet. On the topic somewhere in time, I did finally get a hold of the live footage from the original somewhere in time tour in pairs and another one I think. But, as many know It was a disappointing setlist as it only contained a fraction of the songs on the album. And it is also not a great recording since it is not official, but I always wondered, how is the music video of Stranger in a Strange Land so well documented, and did they record more? Cause they did take the time to make a video of that performance, or at least I'm pretty sure it is live. So is someone sitting on an awesome recording of the entire show??
They could literally play a show with all of their worst songs and I would still love it. With your comment about Australian fans enjoying death of the celts more than others, is probably due to the fact that they (and us in NZ) only see maiden like once every ten years. Last time I saw them was in 2016 on the book of souls tour and it was amazing so yeah - we’re just thankful they’ve come to our part of the world 😂😂
Let's face it.. the boys could play for over 3 hours and there would still be someone disappointed because they didn't play this or that. Personally I loved the concept of focusing on Sunjutsu and Somewhere in Time (my favourite album) and think they're perfectly matched. The sound and performance was fantastic in Perth... although the lounge audience didn't look very animated from my view point. Doesn't mean we weren't loving the show though!
I wanna see Paul Di'Anno
I wish they'd play Sea of Madness and The Darkest Hour but it should still be great!
Seeing them in Sydney in a week🤘. I don’t mind the setlist but wish they played Number Of The Beast. I’ve seen them play it before though so no big deal.
I have a question, Does Iron Maiden know of Ralph Mendes ? His RUclips videos are amazing . I have my tix for the Phoenix gig , taking the wife for her 6th maiden show ....
