As many Iron Maiden fans know, the 2022 edition of their ongoing Legacy of the Beast world tour kicked off in Zagreb Croatia.
But after a break since the last leg of the tour, a few changes were afoot.
Audiences were treated to a new set list which included three new songs from last year’s Senjutsu album – ‘Senjutsu’, “Stratego” and “The Writing on the Wall,”
These new tracks open the show, replacing ‘Aces High’ which now closes the night in spectacular form with a spitfire plane hanging overhead.

After two years away from the road these changes show the Iron Maiden can still more than deliver the goods with Bruce Dickinson’s vocals sounding incredibly strong.
