Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Ding, ding, ding!

Holy Smoke


1. dunno
2. Ozzy Osbourne had song called "Miracle Man" written about Jimmy Swaggart on his album "No Rest For The Wicked" released in 1988. Holy Smoke was written about many televangelist scandals in USA and particularly about Swaggart as he's mentioned in the lyrics as Jimmy The Reptile.
I didn't check any other tours, festivals or concerts but Iron Maiden participated with Ozzy on Ozzfest-tour in 2005.
3. Live-recording (Wembley Arena, London, England, 17 December 1990) was released on b-side of "Wasting Love"-single.

We have a winner!

Clue 1 refers to the song "Send me your money" by Suicidal Tendencies, which is another track on the same topic. There's a section in the middle of the song where there's some bass solos, and just before they go back to the chorus the rhythm guitarist plays the main riff and is introduced with the phrase "now take 'em on home, Brother Clark"
 
Ok, I try this now. My first so..Im learning here.

clue 1. This was released as single, featured on compilation album(s) and hasn't been featured in the Maiden's setlist for while.

Nope. That's my absolute favorite song, I just so wish it could have been added to SBIT or ME-tour setlists but no never happened.

You're correct. And now it's your turn.

Now thinking I could have mentioned it was featured on the studio-album, most of the singles are from albums so I think I thought it as no-brainer but by the guesses everyone got the right impression from the clue.
I think if it was non-album single then it must be mentioned.

Anyways, here are the answers (too bad this got solved fast as I could have added some more trivial bits but that will wait till the next time):
clue 1. This was released as single, featured on compilation album(s) and hasn't been featured in the Maiden's setlist for while.
"Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter" was released on 24th of december 1990.
It was featured on the following Iron Maiden-compilations:
"Best Of The Beast" (1996), "Edward The Great" (2002), "The Essential Iron Maiden" (2005) and "From Fear to Eternity: The Best of 1990–2010" (2011).
"Bring Your Daughter...To The Slaughter" was last played on "Give Me Ed...'til I'm Dead"-tour in 2003.
 
Clue 1.
Bootleggers rejoice!
The opening to a classic Maiden concert.
Yet recorded with a faulty pitch.
 
Clue 1: This song's lyrics contain a phrase that is also the name of a successful 80s album by another metal band. This band’s debut album has a track one might think is a homage to Maiden.
