Are they doing all their old stuff: or just the stuff off the new album? The last time I saw them they did everything off the new album and then closed with a few "oldies" . I was a bit disappointed.

Apparently their next tour is a golden years tour...so we can expect stuff from Powerslave up to Seventh Son. Awesome stuff I reckon and I hope to catch them when they come to Germany!

I dunno if the Maiden has ever played in North Carolina or not. We had to fly to New York to catch em on Ozzfest the last time I saw them......

NOMS,
So they don't play ANY of the old stuff? Oh man, that sucks.....
Did you guys know that Bruce ****inson is/was working as an airline pilot?
I guess you'll have to go to "http://en.wikipedia.org/" and type in his name. It's blocked on this site because his last name begins with d.i.c.k Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
Ya gotta spell it like this - Bruce D!ckenson! Hahaha.
I saw them last year and they were playing all the songs from A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH and then closed with a few songs....Im trying to remember which ones. I know they played Hallowed Be Thy Name cuz I was gonna be really miffed if they didn't. Well, they did that one and like three or four of their hits.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ORDER THEIR ALBUMS GO IN....SO I WOULD HAVE TO REALLY LOOK UP THEIR DISCOGRAPHY TO FIND OUT WHICH ALBUMS RUN THROUGH POWERSLAVE TO SEVENTH SON OF THE SEVENTH SON (SORRY THIS IS ALL IN CAPS....MY HUSBAND BOUGHT A NEW KEYBOARD AND QUITE FRANKLY IT SUCKS!!!!)
Posted by Last survivor of the NOMS-tromo... (Member # 2688) on :
Ok, it's going to go something like this...
Powerslave, Somewhere In Time Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.
The tour will coincide with the next History Of Iron Maiden DVD which will totally OWN!!!
Seriously, I have heard Number of The Beast etc live a million times and I cannot wait to hear the Golden Years stuff live as I missed out first times around...

They are going to be playing the epic "Rime of the ancient mariner" for sure. It's like 13 minutes long off powerslave. should be good but yeah I still hope they play a couple of older classics too like hallowed be thy name, number of the beast etc....I'll be ****ed if they don't play "Fear of the dark." I love that song.

From the official website...
"To tie in with forthcoming 2008 releases on DVD of the classic 'LIVE AFTER DEATH' and 'MAIDEN ENGLAND' concert videos (more details coming soon) this tour, aptly entitled 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME', will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which will be based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 'Powerslave Tour'. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented, and will include some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986/7, such as the Cyborg Eddie.
Steve Harris comments; "On the last tour we opened the show by playing our new album 'A Matter of Life and Death' in its 80 minute entirety. We thought we needed the challenge and it proved the right thing to do. However, it can be hard on the fans playing so much new material and we really appreciated the superb support they gave us. So now l guess it's payback time. It's tremendous to be able to use the profile of the DVDs to do what is effectively an 80's show. It will be enormous fun and by changing the approach to the songs we play tour by tour it keeps it fresh and interesting for both the band and the fans alike. l think 'Powerslave' was an incredible show with the Egyptian theme and look forward to seeing it all again myself. We have been planning this for a few years and hoping to take it to Australia -- so we are all delighted that it has now worked out. I would also like to say that we are all are very grateful to our loyal fans in Oz who have kept the Maiden flag flying all these years and we are sorry to have disappointed you for so long. Thanks and see you there"
Rod Smallwood, Iron Maiden's Manager, further commented; "Following Bruce's various hints from on stage this last year about our plans for 2008 ("We are taking some time off to build some pyramids!"), fans have been pestering me for details of the tour and especially asking which songs from that era will be played. That may be as easy as a run in the hills but we will keep our aces close to our chest on this issue. I know it would only take a couple of minutes but at this stage of planning, I'd have to be clairvoyant to know what they will do. I'm sure though it will be no revelation for you that we intend to make up for those wasted years by visiting a large number of hallowed metal venues around the world. Historically 'Powerslave' was an incredibly important album for the band and it would be madness if we didn't give the fans a taste of the full on Iron Maiden show from that time. With our jumbo there really is no rime nor reason why the band cannot now visit fans almost everywhere as many have been real troopers to have waited this long. Heaven only knows what the band will choose but if l could and did tell you now l would have to shoot you! You'll all have to be patient and see. But it will be spectacular. No fear!!"
