Woah, did anyone see the Iron Maiden setlist the other night?

Harris is the best songwriter for Maiden, certainly the most consistent... and to be honest Wasted years doesn't always sound that good live...
Aces, Powerslave, 22 Acacia, Children of the Damned... all are on Live After Death... why hear shit I can throw on the stereo live at anytime?
Go with the more obscure stuff!

- Number Of The Beast (snore)
- The Trooper
- Die With Your Boots On (AWESOME!!!!)
- The World's Wildest Dream (new)
- The Wickerman (snore)
- Brave New World (snore)
- Revelations (AMAZING! They should play "Powerslave" too)
- The Clansman (blayze)
- 22 Acacia Avenue (pretty cool choice)
- Hallowed Be Thy Name
- Fear Of The Dark (overrated)
- The Clairvoyant (pretty cool song, though i prefer just about everything else on that album)
- Heaven Can Wait (worst song on my favorite Maiden album)
- Iron Maiden (I loathe this song)
- Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter (I REALLY loathe this song)
- 2 Minutes To Midnight (I sorta loathe this song)
- Run To The Hills (this song rules)
Papa Josh is right... although "Wasted Years" is one of the best Maiden songs... it doesn't come off well live
At least they didn't play that silly "Wrathchild" tune.

Hmmm.... I disagree and I agree, here's my quick rundown:
Number of the Beast (Awesome!! and a great way to kick it off, vote yes)
The Trooper (What no comment? Here's mine: awesome!! vote yes)
Die With Your Boots On (Awesome!! Oh Yeah! vote yes)
The World's Wildest Dream (Probably smart to only play 1 new track since the album is far from being released yet and hardly anyone knows the songs, vote yes since I'd be curious to hear one new one)
The Wickerman (Very good underrated rocker! vote yes)
Brave New World (UGH! What a horrible choice for a set that's not supposed to focus on any one album and be more of a "best of" type set. I mean, even if they wanted to include another BNW track, they easily could've thrown in something much stronger like Ghost of the Navigator or something. vote no)
Revelations (Awesome!! vote yes)
The Clansman (I really feel they should leave out the Blayze material, but this song is still pretty good, vote no)
22 Acacia Avenue (Awesome!! vote yes)
Hallowed by thy Name (Awesome!! vote yes)
Fear of the Dark (Good song, but shouldn't really be in this set. My favorite song from the lackluster Fear of the Dark album is Afraid to Shoot Strangers, which I feel is one of Maiden's strongest, most underrated songs ever. vote no)
The Clairvoyant (One of my favorites from Seventh Son, vote yes)
Heaven Can Wait (Enjoyable enough sing along, very good but not great. vote yes)
Iron Maiden (If this song were titled something else and had a different chorus, it would not be a staple of their live shows. Not horrible or anything, but I've never been a huge fan of it and am sick of hearing it live. vote no)
Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter (Come on!! This choice sucks!! End of Story. Vote no)
2 Minutes to Midnight (Awesome!! Vote yes)
Run to the Hills (Awesome!! Vote yes)
So, overall that's 12 yes and 5 no, sounds like a pretty damn good set to me.
Er... Holy pigshit! I'll like, look forward to that or something!

Agreed about Harris, though I also agree with Erik that some of his "epics" leave something to be desired, though I happen to like "Alexander The Great" quite a bit. As for "Wasted Years," I'd take my chances as I've never seen it played live.
Um, no. That argument only works if you don't like leaving the fucking house. It's a Maiden show, and those songs rule. They belong.
Again, it's a Maiden show, which is more about being a live metal institution (IMO of course) than about playing "obscure stuff." At least, to me.

Heh, heh, good rundown, and I agree with most! I probably would've come up with 13 yes and 4 no, I think. Thumps up from me too, ya?!

I disagree, myself. The hits have been done many a time and are on many a live album for us to hear. With a catalogue as broad as Maiden's, a dip into obscure gems would be very welcome in order to keep us on our toes
I'm not sure if or where I might have said this (but I think I did, so that counts ), so I'll reiterate:
"Obscure gems" are fine, as long as they're Maiden classics that simply haven't gotten the live attention. Otherwise, they're just obscure and I have no use for them. For example, I don't exactly want to see them break out "Gangland."

I dunno, mate...after hearing Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter last night I reckon they could probably make Gangland sound class now ^_^
The new song is real cool, btw

Dude, "Bring Your Daughter..." is an abominable song no matter how you slice it. "Gangland" is eh at best, though I'm sure you figured I was kidding with that one...
All I'm saying is that I'd still much rather hear "Hallowed..." than some semi-ok obscure song they don't play live often or ever.

I still say, Flash Of The Blade, Back In The Village, Sea Of Madness, Alexander The Great and The Prophecy are worth digging out to fit the "obscure gem that needs digging out" category. I would say The Edge of Darkness and Como Estais Amigos (don'y know if I already have cos it's been so long since I read this thread ) but they'd be better with Blaze doing 'em, y'know...

The Prophecy is my second favorite song from Seventh Son (after Infinite Dreams). Those acoustic guitars in the outro are soooo medieval.

Excellent list Ayeka...Prophecy may the best song to have a Murray writing credit, and add me to the list of those who find no complaints about Alexander (musically anyway)...
Yeah, those are great songs; that's what I would mean when saying obscure, but still awesome. Though I'm not sure about "Alexander the Great" heh.
