I'm sure I've got a bootleg from 1988 that includes it at the start, maybe Dem can confirm because I know he was at the Maiden England show in Birmingham, as was my band mate but he can't remember. I know they've used the Python song to end the show for years too, but I'm not sure when that started either. Funny story about "Doctor Doctor", about 7 years ago in the band our drummer suggested covering Bad Case of Loving You by Robert Palmer, I wasn't familiar with the song so he sang the chorus for me, which starts with the line Doctor Docter, give me the news... So, off we go to learn it separately, and the following week we give it a shot. Sounded ok apart from our old bass player who seemed to be playing something different to the rest of us. When I asked what key he was playing in (should be E) he said he had no idea, but here's the tab for it (music designed for guitarists/bass players). He'd only gone and learnt Doctor Doctor by UFO the frigging idiot  The song is still in our set today and every now and then we have a laugh about how stupid our old bass player was Justin101 and Demdike@Cult Labs like this.

Maiden England would have been the original UFO recording, that's not as good Good story about the Robert Palmer though  I'm hoping that Maiden do another tour next year with more of a greatest hits kind of set. I loved that setlist on Saturday but I felt really sorry for poor old Dave who looked like he was about to drop dead by the the last few minutes of The Red and the Black Rik likes this.

Yeah, I've missed all the greatest hits tours so I'd happily get a ticket. As much as I like the new album, they added too many songs from it on this tour, I'd have swapped the Great Unknown for something from one of the earlier albums Justin101 likes this.

Seventh Son was the first album I heard back in 1989, still got the cassette that was given to me and it will always be my favourite album, I'm gutted I couldn't go to the Maiden England tour a few years back, seeing the title track live would absolutely make my year! But, as with any band, they can't please everyone with the song choices, I'm just glad I got to see them do Powerslave live (not sure about Bruce's choice of mask though ) Justin101 likes this.
