Possiblity of Prodigal Son live!

OH
MY
GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would die to hear that song, it's one of my all time favourites!!!

From an interview with Nicko...

"Maiden track "Prodigal Son" will be rehearsed prior to the summer tour and if it sounds good enough, it may be included in the group's setlist. (Note that at the time of the interview no rehearsal sessions had yet taken place)."

Well in two days we'll know cos the first gig is on the 28th

This is good news. With the exception of that song, I still fear the band is going to play nothing but the classics. When it comes to set list creativity, Iron Maiden is, unfortunately, at the bottom of the metal heap.

I'm surprised that they haven't played it before (at least since they've had the 3 amigos on guitar). Love that song - it's one of my favorite Di'Anno vocals.

Yeah they really need to mix the setlist up, it would be more interesting for them as well as the fans. I saw Metallica 6 times on their recent tour and never once saw the same setlist.

Aja - I totally agree! That and the Soundhouse Tapes version of Strange World.

TY! It's such a beautiful song. But I wonder if there's something about it that makes it not translate well in a live show. The fact that Maiden hasn't done it live (at least yet ) really makes me curious about that. I thought maybe it was because back in the day they didn't have 3 guitars.

Does anyone know if Paul has ever done it live with his other bands?
