    The setlist needs more Somewhere In Time! :mellow: Caught Somewhere in Time, Alexander The Great, Stranger in a Strange Land! And Flight Of Icarus would also be awesome

    I agree, I'd love Caught Somewhere In Time and Deja Vu. But hell, they're playing Moonchild and Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, I wouldn't ask anything more of them! rock1

    I just about creamed when I saw Moonchild on the set. It's funny, cause on the Iron Maiden Fan Club board I had been saying since the day the tour was announced that I would place a bet that Moonchild would be the first encore. It's arguably Maiden's best non-epic track IMO!

    Ha, yeah, i love Moonchild!

    ...I guess Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son would be asking too much? :heart::D

    oh how can i forget they did do the intro part of SSOASS before moonchild on acoustic :xmasschef:

    Fear Of The Dark doesn't belong. The tour is supposed to be IM through Seventh Son. Pretty good setlist, but too much from the first 4 albums, just like one more song from SIT and SSOASS would've been great.

    the reason they played fear of the dark is because it was their first time in Mumbai and its a crowd favourite!

    by the way a giant cyborg eddie like the somewhere in time cover pic came on stage during 1 song.....was awsome.

    "This first leg of Iron Maiden's 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME' World Tour will open in Mumbai India on Feb 1st, and continue through Australia, Japan, Los Angeles and Mexico, followed by the band's first ever concerts in Costa Rica and Columbia, and then on to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rica and New York, before finishing in Toronto, Canada, on March 16th. Over the 45 day period it is anticipated that Maiden will play to well over 400,000 fans in 21 cities in 10 countries, flying close to 50,000 miles in the specially refitted plane

    Comments Bruce Dickinson, "I have been flying commercial passenger jets for Astraeus Airlines for a few years now and we are commissioning an Astraeus Boeing 757. It will go in for overhaul, painting and conversion in November which will then give us time to ensure we have all the necessary safety documentation, especially with regard to fire safety. It also means it could possibly be flying commercial air routes decked out in Maiden colours for a couple of months before we start!

    "Looking at the list of places we would like to play we have always had problems joining up the dots. With sea containers in various places it slows down the whole touring process, which is fine if you want a holiday but not if you want to play. It's great to see places but we don't want to sit around for a week waiting for gear to get from, say, Australia to South America, so this way we can get to more fans in more places en route in the same time period"

    To tie in with forthcoming 2008 releases on DVD of the classic 'LIVE AFTER DEATH' concert video (full 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 "l always loved the Powerslave show which I think was arguably our most spectacular ever, so taking it out again is really going to be a lot of fun. Taking our own 757 really makes it a lot more flexible for us and we intend to ram into the specially constructed cargo holds as much of the show as we possibly can. The schedule we have been able to put together due to this flexibility l think is very exciting, taking us to some places we haven't been in a long while like Australia and some we have never been to like Columbia and Costa Rica. It is always refreshing going to new places and we hear the fans there are incredible! It's a lot of flying but will be well worth it.

    "As always when planning these tours we sadly aren't always able to get to everywhere that we'd like to for various logistical and timing reasons

    and there are probably fans out there who might be disappointed. We promise we will try even harder the next time around to get to those places."

    ... Lol, Iron Maiden piss all over 'Guns N Roses'. GNR are a joke- Maiden have earnt themselves legendary status with 14 albums, and arent scared of failure.

    Say what you like, Maiden deserve far more praise for consistently owning the metal industry, as opposed to just 3 albums of oirignal material for Guns (excluding Lies).

    If that's how you feel, why are you here?

    Perhaps you haven't noticed yet - but we don't allow cupcakes here.

    Woah- just hold on a second.

    Just because im here doesnt mean i have to think GNR are perfect.

    I feel Iron Maiden are in a different league.

    I also still think GNR are ace.

    For me,thats no problem...

    For you obviously it is?

    I'm open minded with music.

    well said dude!
