Notes:
- The Legacy of the Beast World Tour is the first to feature Blaze Bayley-era material in the band's setlist since the Dance of Death World Tour in 2004, with the inclusion of "Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman".
- "Flight of Icarus" returns to the setlist for the first time since the first leg of the Somewhere in Time tour, in 1986, meaning it is the first time the song has been played live since Janick Gers joined the group.
- "Where Eagles Dare" and "For the Greater Good of God" also return, having last been played on the Eddie Rips Up the World Tour in 2005 and the A Matter of Life and Death tour in 2007, respectively.
- Adrian Smith played his guitar solo in "Revelations" on the opening night in Tallinn, for the first time since World Slavery Tour (Janick Gers played his part since he rejoined in 1999). Gers took it over again on the second night in Helsinki, but Smith however, played the solo on the next gig. They change each concert (they have never used this pattern before).
