That one.

 

[Brigantium]

Although I generally prefer Bruce singing, I do like this one:

I agree with Brigantium and particularly like the Rainbow '80 version. There is just one thing I like more in the Live after Death version : the "Keep you distance..." passage and the guitar bit that comes before. The guitar sound is great and the lines are sung differently with a subtle variation that sounds great.
Unfortunately, all the times I've heard this song live (I mean, mylself attending the gig), most of the instrumental part was ruined by Bruce tricks.

 

[Consumer Of Souls]

I'm biased since this was my 3rd Maiden concert, and probably the best! The band was on fire that night!

Studio..I always prefer studio. I don't think there's one live version of a song I'd prefer over a studio version.

It's become a pyros and talking to/spurring the crowd on part. :/

I prefer this version out of the 1982 versions

 

[harrisdevot]

Indeed. The last time I saw them, at Hellfest 2014, Bruce ruined the instrumental part of Seventh Son by very slowly announcing the half-time score of a football match between France and Switzerland . This is my favourite song ever, and I hated him for that.
Edit : I was answering to Brigantium

Live after death. I very much dislike the album version.
