Iron Maiden - 13 June 2022 - Ormeau Park, Belfast - Belsonic

[Kunt 4 Life]

As far as I know Alexander the Great has never been played live.

[BobbyAxelrod]

I'd prefer a full Legacy of the Beast style tour, but as long as it's not a full on Senjutsu tour, I don't care that much. Three songs from that album would be ideal, but I'm betting it will be more.

[Kunt 4 Life]

I'm guessing 3 as well. Writing on the wall, the title track and Hell on Earth which seems to be the most popular song on the album. I'll be happy with them in the legacy setlist.

[Don Gately]

Stratego surely rather than title track?

[Kunt 4 Life]

Yeah I think I meant that one. That's the track that starts with "teach me the art of war...how do you know a madman's mind etc "? Still haven't gotten myself completely familiar with the album, 80 minutes a long time to go through. Hell, I'm liking the Amazon prime recommendation's of 90 minute films or shorter.

[Don Gately]

Yeah that's the one, I like the title track too, as it sets the mood well.

Bruce has said:

He went on to reassure ticketholders that Maiden's upcoming Legacy of the Beast shows would be loaded with classic tracks, just like the previous shows.

"[P]eople have all paid their money to see [...] spitfires and flamethrowers and Icarus and everything that goes with," he said. "So they're going to get all that. But the first three tracks are probably going to be the first three tracks on the album [...] [E]verybody should know the first three tracks." He added: "And we'll have a stage set to go with it. Once you've done that, you're back to the kind of Legacy world at that point. But I think 'The Writing on the Wall' is going to be a great ... crowd singalong song. You can imagine that. It'll be fantastic."

That was in an interview where he said/hinted that there might be a Senjutsu tour of "smaller" venues playing that album in full. Smallest venues I have seen them play is Brixton Academy and Hammersmith Apollo in 2007 and 2005 respectively but not sure if Senjutsu (even in that kind of setting) is tempting ...

[Kunt 4 Life]

Fuck it I'll go regardless. It does make a change a band doing their new album in full as opposed to soooo many playing an album from 20 or 30 years ago. I enjoyed the AMOLAD show from 2006.

An Ulster hall show bit much to hope for after the ormeau park show...?

[Paul keohane]

No;nobody wants to see a classic band play a new album in full!,i don't care how good the album is.

[Kunt 4 Life]

Sigh, I'll just go and play my Atari 2600 and watch some of my VHS tapes...

[Pain Medicine]

I would definitely be interested in an indoors show with them playing the new album in full, of the 10ish or so Maiden shows I've been to I'd say the AMOLAD tour in '06 was one of if not my favourite.

I just got tickets for the opening night in Zagreb as well as this one in Belfast so am looking forward to not knowing the setlist beforehand. I've only recently had time to give the new album a proper listening and to me Hell on Earth seems to be the standout track. I'd like to see Stratego in the setlist too, Writing on the Wall is fine but probably a bit ploddy-along live I think I'd rather hear something else from the album.

[Blitzer666]

Anyone got their tickets through the post yet?

[Kunt 4 Life]

Is it not all etickets these days? Log into your ticket master account and they should be there.

Nah, paid a few quid extra to get an actual ticket sent out, old stool style.  😆😆

Kinda like using a porn mag to wank with, it's nice and retro dispite it being easier using the internet.
