IRON MAIDEN THIS 2008 WORLD TOUR

Intro: Churchill's Speech
Aces High
2 Minutes to Midnight
Revelations
The Trooper
Wasted Years
The Number Of The Beast
Can I Play With Madness
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Powerslave
Heaven Can Wait
Run To The Hills
Fear Of The Dark
Iron Maiden
Moonchild
The Clairvoyant
Hallowed Be Thy Name

This is a nice set as they are only playing stuff from the 80's, with the exeption of 'Fear Of The Dark' Iron Maiden are one of my fav bands but you will get this same set list wherever you see them, 2 night stint or at a single show. It's not a long set either to be honest.

My point is that at least there is some variation from BJ. The downside however is that there is no guarentee what set you will see from BJ. It could be routine or you just may be lucky. I think I would rather have the chance to be at that lucky show than to have exactly the same set every night.

I do like the way Iron Maiden just say **** it we are playing songs only from the 80's like it or lump it. Would BJ ever do that rather than trying to please everyone. Maybe it's time to think of the die hard fans.
