The Prisoner

The last time it was played by Maiden:
On all four European dates of the 1991 segment of the No Prayer For the Dying tour.

29 June 1991 - Roskilde Festival, Denmark
05 September 1991 - Bern, Switzerland
06 September 1991 - Winterthur, Switzerland
21 September 1991 - Toulon, France

Only bootlegs available, no commercial versions.

In 1996 I saw Skunkworks (Bruce Dickinson) performing this song live.

Thanks so much! So are there any bootlegs from this tour that might be available that feature it?

Yup; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhsWnQo6V2U

Btw, nice track, a bit repetitive, no good live versions, Bruce even badly misses a high note at Hammersmith, isn't in shape @ NEC 1988. Adrian's instrumental part is awesome, pure classic rock style!

7/10

Real fun song and it got me in to the series as an added bonus

9

9.

again 8, it got good instrumentals and the vocals are flawless but it doesnt grab me by the bolhocks and slam me against a windowpane... again its ok but suffers by 'the' syndrome where many the's are a bit fillery and nonspecial

Really memorable drum intro until the song actually kicks of.The guitars are filled with energy and Bruce is again on fire.Even more memorable than the intro is the chorus which is highly addictive!
10/10

8/10

Solid, but slightly too long.

9. Great drum into. Bruce seems to really capture the mood of this song with his vocals. I love the chorus and the solos are sweet! I wish they would perform this live more.

also  - in fact, I would be ok if I went to a concert and they played this and the Clairvoyant. I would go home and say "Maiden played the best set ever."

9/10. Amazing solos.

7/10. A notably stronger 7 than Invaders, with some nice instrumental parts and good vocals from Bruce. The chorus and the music become somewhat repetitive however.
