Brave New World (Full Album) by Iron Maiden. This record is fucking amazing. Can't understand why they don't play more of it live. The songs are pretty lengthy I guess but still. Pretty much all bangers. Ghost Of The Navigator alone is among the best songs they've written, if not the best, since Bruce and Adrian rejoined.
They played almost exclusively material from Brave New World or later on their Final Frontier tours in 2010/2011. After that they did the Maiden England classics tour and then the tour for the new album, which did include Blood Brothers. Not a whole lot of room to fit more songs in when they only have time for 15-16 songs and have to play the usual hits.

I know I'm just saying there is some gold on that album that is ignored. My personal favorite is besides Ghost Of The Navigator is Dream Of Mirrors although at ten minutes I can see why it's omitted. Red and the Black is boring as hell though and that's 13 minutes and I've seen them play that three times. It's new I suppose though but it just does nothing for me. They could have easily played some Staples or cooler cuts.
I mean, at least they've played Dream of Mirrors live on that album tour. There's plenty of deep cuts they've never played live. *coughAlexandertheGreatcough* Hell they didn't play everything good off The Final Frontier or The Book of Souls either. Hard to be picky about their setlists with so much to play. And this is with them not playing The Trooper or Hallowed or Run To The Hills every tour.
Yeah that Brave New World tour or whatever you wanna call it (post 2000s tour) was nuts. When i found out they were doing that for my first time seeing them i was kinda upset but upon revisiting that material in anticipation of the show it made me appreciate how good it all is
