Maiden must have played more shows than 2,174 as Dave has done that many according to the stats, and Steve has played Maiden shows without Dave in the beginning. Interesting though!

Yeah, I also think they must have been more (2,740+, maybe).
According to setlist.fm the song Iron Maiden has been played 2222 times and that song has been played on every concert, sooo....

How did you calculate that ?

According to my list, since 1976 to 2018 they have played 2375. If you add the booked shows for 2019 that makes it to 2413.

The link explains that it’s only tracking shows since the release of the debut album.

Well if you take in consideration that I have listed 2375 concerts then, the affirmation of Iron Maiden (the song) being played 2222 times is no very accurate, however, the setlist it provides are pretty accurate.
Kalata

Yeah, they are very accurate with the setlists, but may I ask you how did you calculate your score ?

Counted each concert that I have listed. I have been writing a book on Maiden for ages and have done a ton of research so I have confirmed the ocurrence of each concert I have listed.

Can live with most of them. But Wrathchild over Killers? 2MTM over Rime and Powerslave? IOA over WTWWB and Talisman? And the greatest shithouse in this list: TRATB over TBOS and EOTC?

They were probably chosen because of their live performances, but I still don't get IOA over WTWWB.
Kalata

Well that's their choice,but I also will pick Wrathchild as the best song from Killers.
Adrian is right, great rocker full of energy.... and not by accident it is a live staple. Killers is also a very good song - it's the title track, what else we can expect.
I think Adrian had said (on some interview during TFF era... 2010 tour) that Wrathchild is one of his favorite songs.

Last Son of The Miracle
Which makes Red and the Black over Book of Souls even more questionable. I love TRATB but its instrumental section was the only time I felt disinterested (only slightly, mind) during the concert I attended. TBOS on the other hand was the unquestionable highlight of the show.

As you scream into the web of silence...
I never saw a show from the tour, but just from the Live Chapter vids, the instrumental section in TRATB was incredible, better than the studio version in that regard.
But this list is coming from Ultimate Classic Rock, who didn’t even include Hallowed or Rime in their original Maiden Top 10 list, so what can one expect?
