They have a new album to promote and this is what the tour is for.
How can you expect a band with a back catalogue the size of Iron Maiden's to play ALL their 'greatest' hits. They would be on stage for 4 hours. If you want to hear them and nothing else, go see some second rate tribute band who make their parasitic living playing The Trooper and Run To The Hills.
Put yourselves in their shoes. How would you feel if your 'fans' didn't give a flying f@*^ for your new material, but just wanted the tracks from your 'famous past'.
How much time was devoted to new tracks on the Death on The Road tour?
The Brave New World tour had 6 or 7 songs from that album played. Not one person whinged then that I recall.
Think back to Metallica's Black album tour. How many tracks were played from that? No complaints there either.

I wasn't saying that I didn't give a F**k about their new stuff because it's good! There's nowt wrong with it and they do give a good show. I would just have preferred to hear the new stuff alongside a bit more of their old stuff and not just played the entire new album, that is what I didn't like about the concert that's all! I didn't expect a 4 hour show and all their greatest hits, but I sure as hell didn't expect a track-by-track run through of their new album. Sorry but it just wasn't what I expected.
