This song has grown on me intensely. Amazing work of art. Kinda hope they play it live, even though they will probably opt for the (somewhat) shorter songs from the new album lol
Urge to look is so high but I want to go in blind. I've heard they're playing like 6 songs from Book Of Souls though I don't know which. Although Speed Of Light is a pretty obvious guess since it was the single. Is it at least a nice big set? Because there are about 4 i wouldn't mind hearing from Book Of Souls and the rest I can pass on.
If Eternity Should Fail, Speed Of Light, Book Of Souls, and Empire Of the Clouds are dope by me. Death Or Glory is cool as well and while I would prefer other songs off the new album, it's cool by me of they do that one. Just really hope they avoid Tears Of a Clown because it was the weakest song in my opinion. Wasn't too big on Great Unknown and The Red and the Black bored the Fuck outta me. Everything else I'm indifferent towards.
I assume you've never seen Maiden before? They play roughly two hours which amounts to 15-16 songs typically. Which is why I find the hand-wringing over how many new songs they're playing to be silly, they'll play other stuff.
I'm still blind on this as well but if I were to pick 6 songs off the new album to play live I'd go with Eternity, Speed of Light, The Red and the Black, title track, When The River Runs Deep, and Death or Glory. I'm guessing in reality they'll play 5 of those and play Tears of a Clown instead of River. I don't think they'll ever play Empire in a normal setting, they need some kind of extra accompaniment such as an orchestra.
Jay, I've only seen them once on the Maiden England Tour back in 2012. That's why I sound so ignorant on the set lol since that was a special retro tour I don't know what they play on normal tours although I do know they're partial to playing a decent amount of new shit.
Honestly, Tears Of a Clown would be the only legitimate disappointment from the new album to hear live. Not only do you have an entire discography of shit that is almost all better than that, but every other song on Book Of Souls is better as well. My six would be If Eternity Should Fail, Speed Of Light, Book Of Souls, Death Or Glory, Shadows Of the Valley and Empire Of the Clouds.
