Senjutsu (live debut)
Stratego (live debut)
The Writing on the Wall (live debut)
Revelations
Blood Brothers (first time since 2017)
Sign of the Cross
Flight of Icarus
Fear of the Dark
Hallowed Be Thy Name
The Number of the Beast
Iron Maiden

Encore:
The Trooper
The Clansman (first time as encore)
Run to the Hills

Encore 2:
Churchill's Speech
Aces High (first time with "Aces High" as show closer; first time the band played a second encore since 1992.)

Not their best setlist. Having Aces High close the show is especially weird, it would be like Van Halen closing with Unchained or Light Up The Sky.

Agree.

I find that set list lacking.

I am glad I caught this Legacy of the Beast Tour back in 2019. I preferred that setlist.

They did drop 5 songs (from 2019) and only added 4 songs so far. So I guess it is possible that they add 1 more song in.

I realize these guys are too old to do a tour of 3 hour sets, however, I feel like we're missing a LOT of music here. I guess that's the curse of being a band that's around for 40 years and continued to put out albums along the way. They've done a much better job of being able to whittle down their own set than I would have been able to. I don't think I'd be able to keep it under 20-25 songs. Maybe they should do what Metallica used to do, make medleys of some of the songs, instead of playing entire long songs.
