What is new Alexander the Great?

Since Alexander the Great is the most wanted song to be played live and it was played eventually on The future past tour 2023-2024, what is a new song whole fanbase can beg Maiden to play? Or which one can come close to ATG?
My guesses: Sun and steel, Only the good die young, Montsegur, Empire of the clouds
 
I think it is "Infinite Dreams", though it had already been played but "not enough" in the general opinion. "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner" also fits the spot.
In so far as it had not been played by Bruce, "The Edge of Darkness".
Otherwise, among the songs that have never been played live, that would be "Face in the Sand" and "Run Silent Run Deep" in my opinion.
 
The Pankrement
It would be great to witness this one live. Senjutsu´s second disc is such an amazing one! Three Harris epics all in a row. And yes I like all 3 of them! Even Celts!
Prodigal Son
This was always one of my favourites, especially the solo section is pure greatness! And vocal wise this was one of Di´Anno´s best. Sure Bruce would do it justice too.

I'll stick to songs that have never been played before.

Sun and Steel & Montsegur have already been mentioned, I think both would be massive crowd pleasers live with catchy singalong choruses.
I'll add Deja Vu, Judgement of Heaven (played by Blaze but not IM), Isle of Avalon and Starblind.
 
Come close to Alexander:

from the ones not played live:

Only The Good Die Young
Deja-Vu
Judas Be My Guide
The Thin Line Between Love And Hate
Face In The Sand (maybe)
Starblind (maybe)
Empire Of The Clouds (I guess so)
The Parchment - IMO.

from the ones rarely played live:

Infinite Dreams
To Tame A Land
Still Life
Sea Of Madness
The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner
Prodigal Son
maybe one of the Powerslave songs (Flash Of The Blade?)
No Prayer For The Dying
Be Quick Or Be Dead
Futureal
Out Of The Silent Planet
Paschendale
Brighter Than A Thousand Suns

^Definitely more (and probably more likely) choices.
 
- Deja Vu
- Flash Of The Blade
- Montségur
- The Pilgrim (they included For The Greater Good Of God during LOTB tour, so this can be a good surprise)
- Judas Be My Guide
