Axel Rudi Pell:


Tear down the walls
Strong as a rock
The masquerade ball
Casbah
Fool fool
Call her princess/greensleeves


Dio:


Killing the dragon
Egypt (the chains are on)
Stand up & shout
Drum solo
Holy diver
Sunset superman
Man on the silver mountain (Rainbow)
Craig Goldy guitar solo
Long live rock & roll (Rainbow)
Gates of Babylon (Rainbow)
Heaven & hell (Black Sabbath)


Iron Maiden:



Murders in the rue morgue
Another life
Prowler
The trooper
Remember tomorrow
Where eagles dare
Run to the hills
Revelations
Wrathchild
Die with your boots on
Phantom of the opera
The number of the beast
Hallowed be thy name
Iron Maiden
Running free
Drifter
Sanctuary

Notes:

- My first full metal festival
- Spent most of the time discovering the festival and it's location.
- So glad that I saw Dio, who's music I was just starting to discover. Long Live RJD.
- Saw a very small piece of Yngwie Malmsteen but that was more than enough tbh
- Axel Rudi Pell was great fun, especially the keyboardist. Got 100% live proof that Mike Terrana is one of the best drummers too.
- I had to leave after number of the beast, so the rest of Maiden's set comes from setlistfm.

That Maiden set! :drool:

[IrritatedTrout]

The Early Days set was nice, especially because of Eagles but closing with two of the worst songs of your entire career is not a good move.:hecho:

I'd definitely switch out those last two for like Twilight Zone and Charlotte the Harlot or something like that

[IrritatedTrout]

Charlotte was played on the first two dates in Prague and Poland and then swapped for Wrathchild unfortunately.

And here's Dream Theater:


The root of all evil
A fortune in lies
Under a glass moon
Panic attack
Endless sacrifice
Just let me breath
Lie
As I am
Pull me under/Metropolis pt 1

I admit those are not standout tracks, but worst of their career? I think that's a bit excessive.

A Fortune in Lies! :drool:

A Fortune in Lies! :drool:

Yeah. DT was a bit heavier than on their records, and James is far from a bad singer. Not the best, but I've heard worse...

I'm just starting to get into them again.

Sanctuary is low on the list but you're right. However, I'd say Drifter is tied with Quest For Fire and Angel and the Gambler for worst ever Maiden song.
