This would be the perfect songs to add to Iron Maiden’s setlist – according to Steve Harris

Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris expressed his desire to reintroduce a specific song into the band’s live performances, which is notably not a rare or obscure track, as per Loudwire.

Contrarily, it is among the most frequently performed compositions in the band’s catalog, with “The Evil That Men Do” having been played 866 times in concert, ranking as their 11th most-performed song according to setlist.fm.

I like them all! It’s hard to pick one. There’s certain songs like ‘The Evil That Men Do’ that aren’t already in the set and I’d like to play. But we’ve bandied the ideas around and not ended up playing them this time. But it’s difficult to do a set from any part of our career [and not miss things out]. It’s a nice problem to have, I suppose.

This track, from the album “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son,” was a staple of the supporting tour in 1988 and has appeared in numerous subsequent live sets, most recently in 2019.

During their ongoing “Run for Your Lives” 50th anniversary tour, which emphasizes their first nine albums, the band has chosen to highlight the album’s epic 10-minute title track and the more energetic “The Clairvoyant“.

The tour, initiated in May of the previous year, is scheduled to continue through the end of the year with performances across Europe and the Americas.

While Harris has preferences for songs he wishes to reinstate in the setlist, lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson has expressed a desire to retire “Remember Tomorrow,” a track from their debut album sung by Paul Di’Anno.

If ever Paul owned a song, it’s that one. I can sing it, and have done. But I think we should leave it with Paul now.
