Not the unbeliever either
Clue#3
Songwriting credits as never seen before ...or after

 

[TheMercenary]

[argyris]

Nope

 

[TheMercenary]

New Frontier ?

Nope

 

[Vaenyr]

Gangland as the only Smith/Burr song?

 

[argyris]

Gangland as the only Smith/Burr song?

Winner!
Clue #1 We all know the story of how they forgot to add the second solo by Dave Murray.
Clue#2 Never played live
Clue#3 Yes, Smith/Burr

 

[Vaenyr]

Three hints in one:

The music prominently features modal interchange. The lyrics talk quite a bit about light and colours. The live version adds something that the studio version didn't have.

 

[TheMercenary]

The Red And The Black

 

[Vaenyr]

The Red And The Black

Good thinking, but not the right song

 

[Black Bart]

Sanctuary

 

[TheMercenary]

The Red And The Black

Good thinking, but not the right song

 

[Vaenyr]

Sanctuary

Nope! Also a good guess with an entire riff that's not present in the studio version though.

 

[Jmaster]

Aces High

 

[Vaenyr]

Aces High

Unfortunately no.

Clue #1: The music prominently features modal interchange. The lyrics talk quite a bit about light and colours. The live version adds something that the studio version didn't have.

Clue #2: Despite only being featured on one tour, the song ended up being one of the more memorable aspects of the show.

 

[TheMercenary]

The Book Of Souls ?

 

[Vaenyr]

The Book Of Souls ?

Nope!

 

[Murder of Rue Morgue]

Clue #1: The music prominently features modal interchange. The lyrics talk quite a bit about light and colours. The live version adds something that the studio version didn't have.

Clue #2: Despite only being featured on one tour, the song ended up being one of the more memorable aspects of the show.

Journeyman? They added the guitar solo that wasn't in the studio version. "Red sky of the east", "colours of the dawn".

 

[Black Bart]

If Eternity Shoud Fail?

 

[Vaenyr]

Journeyman? They added the guitar solo that wasn't in the studio version. "Red sky of the east", "colours of the dawn".

Precisely! Modal interchange, for those who don't know, is when the music is in a certain key and "borrows" a chord from a relative mode. The verses are that, where the song keeps switching from A minor to A major and back.

Clue #2 was about the song being an acoustic number and them bringing out the stools to sit, something not normally seen in a Maiden show.

Your turn @Murder of Rue Morgue !
