Iron Maiden launched their Run For Your Lives Tour tonight, in Budapest, Hungary marking their first concert of 2025 and their first live show since long-time drummer Nicko McBrain was replaced by Simon Dawson. Dawson, known for his work with Steve Harris’ side project British Lion, is now handling drumming duties on the road.

SETLIST:
Well? Thoughts? Comments? Insults?
It's pretty interesting that the tour was advertised as being centered around the first nine albums (self-titled to Fear Of The Dark) but there is nothing from No Prayer For The Dying. I'm not complaining, mind you. Just stating the facts.
All the usual classics are there, but quite a few curveballs too. Opening with "The Ides Of March" is a pretty cool move. Paris can't come soon enough!
*** UPDATE ***
According to online videos, "The Ides Of March" is from a tape, which is pretty disappointing. So the actual setlist starts with "Murders In The Rue Morgue."
