Blue where are you sitting? Im at f7 k8... which I have a feeling is on the floor far away from the stage with no elevation to help out . I had to take what I could get though.

They havn't played Aces High in years...
I for one think this is awesome. They've been catering to the people who want to hear the same songs over and over again for too long. More power to them for this, I can't wait to see them on Friday. My only regret is that I'm not gonna hear any of the Brave New World and Dance Of Death stuff.
i could of sworn they played that song on ozzfest... and they did say that they maynot ever play those songs again... but come on... that set list is bad. its good to see them change up the set list a bit but there isn't really that may "classics" on there[that alot of people know and those who do know them know they ar] but everyone will most likely be disapointed. i would like them to play the instrumental 'los'fer words' that is one of their best instrumentals

metallica played master of puppets they even relearned all of the parts so it would sound exact.
and they said it would be fun to do it when all their albums hit the twenty year mark.. can anyone see that in 20 years when they do the 'st. anger reunion show'? that will be a horrible show.

you losers make me fuckin sick, the new album is sick, and this is the matter of life and death tour, so if thats not what you expected your a retard. the classics got played on theyre tours, to bad you missed it. IF you wanted anything from Iron maiden, Killers, or Number of the beast, you shoulda went to there shows last year or at ozzfest. I feel really bad for anyone that doesnt think thats a sweet setlist, Go home fags

This show was sooooooo good, and I've never seen a crowd more not dissapointed in my life.

Why pay all that money to see Maiden at the Suckfest? Bruce's solo album Chemical Wedding is far better than any of the newer Maiden stuff.Are 3 guitar players really necessary?

I am not one to balk at a free ticket. I liked it enough last night. However, I would have preferred to see more of the giant Eddie's face, as it was obscured by binoculars and a helmet. I had been looking forward to seeing Eddie for 20 years now and refuse to have any complaints.

The only thing that isn't great about DoD is the absolutely horrendous cover artwork. It is an excellent album, imo.
Yeah I think it's great. What are your favorite tracks? Wildest Dreams, Rainmaker, Montsegur, the title track and Journeyman are probably mine.
Montsegur, Paschendale (Bruce does some really cool harmonies in this one), Face in the Sand, Age of Innocence
In my opinion, it is one of the most epic Maiden albums. I fucking love it. Up there with Somewhere in Time as one of my favorites.
no wonder your band sucks

I think that those saying \"who plays their entire new album on a tour?\" are 13 year olds with no understanding of Rock and Metal.
I can think of many examples of bands who do this. It catapulted a good band, Pink Floyd, to the status of revolutionaries. Its a great album, and its a great setlist. If you want to hear the classics, go to a classics tour.

I really like that setlist if it's going to be played in Finland too! It's awesome to hear all th enew songs, although I would like to hear The Trooper too

Every time Iron Maiden comes to the U.S. they bring the greatest hits set list. And frankly that was getting a little old. For everyone complaining about this set list, shove it. Maiden was just here last summer playing material only on the first four albums. Not to mention they got a huge response in Boston. So for the 10 or so of you that were dissapointed, eat it. Yes yes, shame on Maiden for being original, bold, definitive, memorable and doing something different. A 10 out of 10 both in Hartford and in Boston. Maiden Rule!

I went to the Camden Tweeter show last night. The first time seeing Maiden in 20 years. I heard ahead of time that I was in for the whole new album (their best in over 10 years) and I was dissapointed at the set list as well. But I have to say, the show kicked ass. The new songs sounded great live and you could tell the band was into it. After seeing over 80 different shows, I can tell you that means a lot more than a band just slogging through songs they are tired of playing. Great energy. That said, I hope they come around again soon and add more of the old tunes.

By the way, the set list at the Camden Tweeter Center last night was exactly the same as the earlier US shows.

They do that all the time. In the last five years they have done what, three best of tours including one just last year. (Granted only the real early stuff but there was the Edward the Great tour before that and at least one more, the name of which escapes me.) Personally I'm psyched, though I do wish they would at least move the songs around and intersperse the classics with the new stuff rather than playing the whole album in order. But what the hell, I'll go anyway and have a great time.
[Oct 23,2006 8:39am - anonymous ""]
No Trooper? No Number of the Beast? no Run to the Hills? I'm glad they play Fear of the Dark. This is the worst set list I've ever seen in an Iron Maiden concert!
[Oct 23,2006 5:33pm - anonymous ""]
This set list rules! It would have ruled even if there were only old stuff on it too and that's beacuse Maiden rules!! If you don't like this then maybe you should reconsider if you are a Maiden fan after all...? And why complain, didn't they devote an entire tour last year on their old material?
[Oct 23,2006 6:11pm - anonymous ""]
they've pretty much devoted 3 of the last 5 tours to ONLY old material. People bitching about this setlist are retarded.
[Oct 31,2006 6:58am - BAKER ""]
i am gonna see them in dublin and make my own mind up
[Oct 31,2006 9:01am - FOALLE ""]
I can't wait to hear MAIDEN play the new album in its entirety... This is the best thing the band have recorded since POWERSLAVE. They must be proud to have made their best record in over 20 years and no wonder they want to take it on the road.
After doing a tour of Classic material they must be itching to play something fresh. I for one am sick of NOTB, Run To The Hills etc. being played in almost EVERY Maiden set since 1982.
I would love them to bring back ACES HIGH, Ancient Mariner, Stranger In A Strange Land etc. but I assume they're going to do another Greatest Hits Tour after this one when they release the next "History Of Maiden" DVD, which I would think would focus on Powerslave through to Fear Of The Dark when Bruce left the band.
Fair enough, for the younger fans it would be nice for them to hear songs like The Trooper and Wrathchild but I'm glad the band have regained their fire and for me they can play whatever the fuck they want to!!!
UP THE IRONS!!! Back at the top of their game!!!

I dont like the new one very much. Most the music sounds like "Brave new world" Or " No prayer for the dying " with different lyrics-- The songs are low vitality, there are no good hooks,, ahhh It "Iron Maiden" So I bought it anyways.

Dude, you can't really say that. If Maiden don't play those songs there is problebly a reason behind it, don't you think? To be honest i really like what they doing here. I'v heard them play RTH, Trooper & Number of the Beast so many times that i don't care if they play them again or not. I'v allredy seen them do it, now i want something different!

Even the Brits think this set list sucks:
"Review: Iron MaidenDec 12 2006
Gavin Allen, South Wales Echo
Cardiff International Arena
IRON Maiden came close to vindicating their selfish decision last night but dropped the ball at the last.
In playing their 14th album A Matter Of Life and Death in its entirety - and each track one after the other at that - they were bound to disappoint swathes of the sold-out crowd, with even the hard-core fans tolerating rather than worshipping.
The thirst for them pre-gig saw thousands of devil horns silhouetted against the CIA's soulless white walls as the crowd chanted "Maiden! Maiden! Maiden!"
Vocalist Bruce Dickinson bouncy-balled magnificently onto the stage but when five tracks in he confirmed they would play the whole album there was a negative reaction; largely silence, even the odd boo.
It's a shame because the war-obsessed album - the stage set was designed like a World War Two bunker with broken masonry and sandbags - is among their strongest material.
Classically mock-operatic, the likes of These Colours Don't Run, The Longest Day and The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg would grace any of their previous albums.
But when that lot was over, after forcing people to tolerate 70-odd minutes of such indulgence, the pay-off simply wasn't enough.
The crowd exploded into mosh circles to the opening bars of Fear Of The Dark but the follow up of Iron Maiden, Two Minutes To Midnight, The Evil That Men Do and Hallowed Be Thy Name, while glorious in themselves, was too eclectic.
Maiden won't regret the decisions they made last night, but their fans will."

This is too all the ones complaining about maidens set list... YOU SHOULD BE PRIVALEDGED TO SEE THEM.. i wish i could have gone to one, but i'll wait patiently until Download festival. maiden rule n if they wanna play the whole new album n a few classics then let them. There new album rules.. n the big question seems to be: who plays the whole album?... we'll what do think bands do when they've got only 1 or 2 albums? they play there albums... n maiden are still fresh, they still want to get there music hear, jus like new bands. ok maiden have got loadza CD's but they are proud of the songs on the new album and want you 2 hear them all live not jus a couple. n as for not playin classics like number of the best n run to the hills etc.. (yes they are awesome songs) but think about it, practicly since number of the beast they have played those songs every gig.. after a while they jus thought, no... lets not play them. n i dont no what most people are gettin upset for... you'll see them again in the future n im sure they will play your fave classics. fingers crossed they re-do the powerslave tour as its been rumoured now n again, then we'll all die happy! so remember... love maiden always, don't put them down jus cuz u dint get exactly what you wanted, let the play what they want to play, its more fun that way!

the last time i saw them, Bruce bitched for like 15 minutes at some guy who was smoking pot in the audience.
