While I'm mentioning songs I wish they'd drop, Blood Brothers never did anything for me. lol

All 3 of those songs are featured on their current tour. (Clansman is part of the encore!)

They are trying to represent the full 1980 to 2022 on this "LEGACY" Tour, so all era are represented for the most part. But I get what you are saying.

I agree on Sign of the Cross. That was our Beer break song last week...lol....

Clansman gets GREAT crowd response. Especially the FREEEEEDDOOOMMMMMMM part at the end. But yeah, long song.

The 2019 LOTB Tour had "The Wicker Man". This was replaced by Blood Brothers as the BNW song. I prefer The Wicker Man. Shorter and punchier when there are already a lot of long songs.

You won't have to worry about it much longer.... All 3 of these songs are going out of the set in 2023.

I like all 3 of those songs.
Personally, I love how they switch up their set-lists.

So you're the one? j/k

Yeah, I respect them for covering all eras and albums.
Just saying that given their catalogue, there are many other deep cuts I'd rather hear than those three.

Some more quick talk on the excitement surrounding the announcement about playing "Somewhere in Time" songs in 2023...

Including general setlist speculation

Maiden needed Tattoo to introduce Aces High last night: "The plane! The plane!"

Interesting, they also put in Total Eclipse.

BMG has announced the release of a commemorative triple black vinyl album in honor of the 40th anniversary of IRON MAIDEN's seminal third album, "The Number Of The Beast", which was to become the record which catapulted the band to international stardom. Included in the new vinyl package is "Beast Over Hammersmith" — available now officially for the very first time on vinyl — featuring the live concert from March 1982's now-legendary Hammersmith Odeon London show from the "Beast On The Road" world tour. Recorded only days before the release of "The Number Of The Beast" album

Iron Maiden just posted the 2022 remaster of TOTAL ECLIPSE on youtube and other streaming platforms.

For my 666 post, gotta go with the masters. Up the irons!

The scream on the album is just unreal.

Damn........ Summer Tour still so far away........ a little less than 6 months.....

With the speculation on the setlist with the FUTURE/PAST "Somewhere in Time" theme for 2023..... Bruce has been getting a lot of Alexander The Great questions during his spoken word tour. Quick clip here.... Maybe he confirms it, maybe not...haha..
