Clue #1: No man is a prophet in his own country
20 June 1983 - The Trooper
The B-Side is a cover version of Jethro Tull’s “Cross-Eyed Mary” and without any involvement from band or their record label it picked up radio airplay in the US. It was one of the only songs Maiden ever had played on US radio back in the ‘80s. Due to this unique success on radio, the record label asked for the track to be added to the Piece Of Mind album. The band refused as it would be unfair to the 250,000 fans who had already bought the record.

Clue #2: Jerusalem
Bruce Dickinson played "Jerusalem" and "Oh God of Earth and Altar" (whose lyrics inspired the song "Revelations") with Ian Anderson, the leader of Jethro Tull (original interprets of "Cross-Eyed Mary"). It took place in the Cathedral of Canterbury in 2011.

Clue #3: self-explanatory
