So, what would be your favorite IM song that for one reason or another you've not seen live yet? For me it would have to be Wrathchild
J/K
Actually, there are several that I haven't seen live, either because they did not play them, or they did not play them on the tours that I saw.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner: I didn't get into Maiden until 86 or so, and had not seen them live until the FotD tour. I really wanted to see them on the Somewhere Back in Time tour, but they did not play in the SouthEast US, and circumstances prevented me from making a road-trip.
Stranger in a Strange Land: Again, circumstances prevented me from seeing the Ed Huntour gigs in 1999 when they broke that out. Plus, they only played that song for the first few weeks of the tour, and I don't believe it was played in Chicago, which would have been my best opportunity to see them.
Paschendale: Not seeing this one live is the biggest reason I was disappointed they did a bare-bones US run for the Dance of Death album.
Out of the Shadows: Missed the AMOLAD tour.
Isle of Avalon: My favorite from the Final Frontier album, this would really have been an awesome live song.
Hooks in You & Holy Smoke: Two very good songs from the No Prayer for the Dying album. I had tickets to see that show, but a conflict came up regarding my student Housing, and I had to stay in town to deal with it.
22 Acacia Avenue: I've ranted about this on another thread, but I was very disappointed they didn't bring this song to the US during their 2003 "Give Em Ed" tour.
Alexander the Great: No explanation needed.
