Well if they do the whole album live, I imagine they would do it exactly the way Maiden did A Matter of Life and Death.
They play the whole album first, then play 4 or 5 hits afterwards, and leave. It wouldn't be the same I think if you ended the concert with Nostradamus because they way Future of Mankind ends is a perfect way to close the album.

As for the music, I'd like it a lot if they incorporate guitars a lot more prominently than on the album, for this would after all be a live concert so it would help to metal it up a bit more. Still, one wouldn't doubt that a keyboard player would be more than necessary, Don Airey perhaps? Only thought that troubles me is...how will they finish the set? I'd hate to see the set close with Future Of Mankind. I'd prefer to place it between New Beginnings and Nostradamus. After all, the setlist needs to close energetically and not all soft and fading out. I'm sure 'Priest have already got it laid out what they will do for Nostradamus tour but why not speculate and discuss.
