Really? Even with all the straining? I'd argue that it's one of the worst performances of that song.

Best one IMO... by far! Some say the Bruce's voice was tired. I disagree: the only thing he said was that he was tired. Bruce was changing his voice by this time (The time he quit doing falsettos... Powersalve was the last album he pulled 'em). I said it before and I'll say it again: as far as I'm concerned Bruce was at his best in Live After Death, Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son. Never liked his falsetto anyway... His timbre grew body (by using way more gut and head) and he was hitting his notes on his own range he once only managed to hit by distorting his voice. All the stuff I said before is a matter of taste but one thing's certain: Live After Death is flawless. Perhaps the best metal record ever and mr. Dickinson is tight as nails on this one.

Curious... because out of your top 20 the only songs they never played live are Only The Good Die Young and Alexander The Great.

Well spotted. What I meant to say is that they didn't release live albums from some of my favorite album tours(SIT and AMOLAD) and they have retired a lot of my favorite songs, because they aren't very popular. But yeah, most of them were played live.

Yeah I see... you're right. SIT happens to be my favorite album and AMOLAD my 5th favorite and when it comes to official live releases these 2 albums combined contribute with merely 2 songs (both from SIT: Wasted Years and Heaven Can Wait). Hell! IMO both discs are devoid of bad songs and have plenty of anthems :/
