50 Years of IRON MAIDEN bonus episode: Run For Your Lives setlist analysis

50 Years of IRON MAIDEN bonus episode

Run For Your Lives setlist analysis

A few months ago, Harrison and I sat down and did our wishlists and speculation on the 2025 Run For Your Lives tour.  With the first two shows in Budapest completed, Harrison and I reconvened to discuss the actual setlists in this special bonus episode.

Yes, there will be two episodes of 50 Years of Iron Maiden this week!  We will also be back this Friday to talk about the one album they ignored on this tour…

With an eye towards a deep analysis, Harrison and I went through the entire set track by track.  Harrison touches on the performances and Bruce’s voice, while I focused more on my satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the songs selected, based on the parameters set out by the band themselves.  Of course, we also have to address the “new guy”, Simon Dawson, which we do!  And what about poor Janick?  Find out….

This episode is live now, June 4 at midnight, so check it out.

50 Years of Iron Maiden: Yes, we will be talking about the setlist…

Happy Friday everyone!  As mentioned on last week’s episode, Harrison and I are taking this week off.  Instead of an episode of 50 Years of Iron Maiden tonight, we are re-running the debut MarriedandHeels episode, in solidarity with our friend and former co-host who needs some support today.

The topic everyone is talking about is the new Iron Maiden Run For Your Lives tour setlist.  Harrison and I are itching to talk about it with you, and we will.  Soon, we’ll be recording a bonus episode to talk about this new set.

I hope everyone else is doing well this week, and we’ll see you soon once again on 50 Years of Iron Maiden.

See below for our fun and frivolous “setlist speculation” episode from a few months ago.

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK bonus episode

Back in 2013, T-Rev and I hit up the Hamilton record show, where I first encountered Iron Maiden’s Live!! + One EP.  I held it in my hands.  I didn’t know what I was holding, and I put it back, assuming I had all the tracks already.  I did not.  It was $100.

A few weeks ago, John Clauser from My Music Corner was heading to a record store in Birmingham Alabama.  I asked, on a lark, if he would mind picking me up a Live!! +One and he said “sure”!  He packed it with care and send it to Canada.  A Holy Grail item for sure, I was thrilled to get it.  Now you can watch me open the record as all three of us (John, Harrison and I) take a solid look at the record.  There are different versions available of varying authenticity, so let’s take a good look at this record.

Would you have bought it?  Let us know in the comments.

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK bonus episode

Welcome to our very first “bonus episode” of 50 Years of Iron Maiden!  These bonus episodes will feature shorter videos on a variety of topics.  With Maiden’s 2025 tour beginning in May, we wanted to get ahead of the pack and speculate on the setlist.

Harrison and I set two rules for these setlists, based on what we know from Iron Maiden themselves.  1) Each one of the first nine albums will be represented in the set, and 2) They will at least one song that has never been played live before.  From there we let our imaginations run wild!

What songs do you think Maiden will play this year?  What’s on your wishlist?  Tell us in the comments below, and UP THE IRONS in 2025!
