I think if a song was played once and then dropped (2010 BTATS it shouldn't be counted). Same a Stranger in 1999, which was played a few times.
Just my opinion, if we are going per years.
Yea, it should be in its own category, especially for something like BTATS and Paschendale which probably have less of a chance of being played again than anything else in the same column.

That's a fair point. Probably the best way to do it would be to count what portion of the year a song is played. BTATS would get credit for 0.01 in 2010 (played once in 98 shows). Other examples from 2010 - Brave New World would (approx) get credit for one third, The Trooper two thirds and El Dorado would get credit for a full year. Let me see if there's a way to calculate that without having to do everything manually.

If it was played, it was played.
People use Metallica playing Frayed Ends of Sanity or some shit once as an excuse to stick the boot in to Maiden. Facts are, Maiden playing 88 tracks live with this line up is outstanding.
Plus Charlotte is probably the only one that would disappear from the list altogether if you used the "played then dropped criteria"

Fallen Angel was played at the start of the Brave New World tour in 2000.

Never knew that, they dropped it after St. Etienne, I was at Bercy the following night FFS!

It's not about if it was played or not.
The unit in the table is "Number of years played". And counting one appearance on the tour before being dropped the same as being played the whole year or a whole leg of the tour is wrong IMO. But each to their own...
The Red and the Black
Ancient Mariner
Bring back Tailgunner. It may be a poor man’s Aces High, but it rips!
Meliegree
Evening The Odds.
It's so cheesy it's actually fun. I'm listening to Donington 1992 now and tailgunner sounds like fun.
The problem is the Legacy of the Beast tour. The concept in 2025 shouldn't be too similar, then everybody will call them unimaginative and driving with an almost empty tank.
This is a special year in their carreer.
They need at least one huge surprise. Maybe the new song mentioned above. A guest on stage nobody expected? (Not Paul Di'Anno please)
