Iron Maiden Coming to KC on 9-7-13

When they came through DC last year with Alice Cooper they were using the set list from Maiden England 1988 with a few tweaks ie added Fear of the Dark and took out Hallowed Be Thy Name, added Aces High and took out 22 Acacia Avenue.

Cooper sounded really good for his age. Bruce really kept himself in shape and I don't think he was a smoker so he can still hit most of the notes he could in his prime.

I really wish they would take a page from Rush's Time Machine tour and just go out and play their "hits" for a tour. Heck, if they need to take a half hour break in the middle like Rush does, I would be ok with that if they are playing a three hour set list.

I would hope for something like the opposite, actually. When I saw Maiden in 2008, a friend and I talked afterward about the songs we'd really like to see them play that they didn't. We came up with two separate, distinct 18-song setlists that would have been worth every penny. I mean, Maiden's discography is strong.

Oh I am sure there are songs from every from that they never play live for various reasons. For me I like 'No Prayer for the Dying' and 'Run Silent, Run Deep' but I understand why they don't play them live as they are not the most popular.

Then again if they just played the whole Powerslave, Somewhere in Time, and Brave New World albums as a concert, it would be worth the price of admission.

Yup.
