^That's right. That's on the EMI '95 reissue of Piece of Mind...along with their cover of Montrose's "I Got the Fire"!
Don't know where it was released (or if it was at all) but here's a version of Iron Maiden playing Hocus Pocus by Focus (during the yodeling parts they just yell random gibberish which is hilarious).
I think it was a DVD special or something like that.
man..this sounds like Iron Maiden with special guess iMonty Pythons
Nothing can last
there are no second chances.
Never give a day away.
Always live for today.

I can't do that. I am right and you are wrong. But I can agree to not continue this discussion.
You are not right.
Of course I'm right. I don't know if you have a hard time admitting that you're wrong or if you simply don't know what a deep cut is (you could always do a google search and find out). Either way your take is completely absurd.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Genesis - The Lady Lies - And then there were three
Genesis - Cul De Sac - Duke
Genesis - Lilywhite Lilyth and grand parade of lifeless packaging from Lamb
King Crimson - Epitaph from "Court"
King Crimson -The entire albums from ITWOP to Discipline
ELP - Title track to Trilogy - Trilogy
ELP- The Barbarian - First album
Jethro Tull - My God - Aqualung
Kansas - The Wall, Cheyenne Anthem and Miracles out of Nowhere from Leftoverture
The Moody Blues - too many to mention but a few favorites are candle of life, minstrel song, you and me, my song, so deep within you and the actor.
Rush - circumstances, entre nous, Jacob's Ladder, Camera Eye, Witch Hunt, Losing It, In the End. With Rush it's difficult to say what the deep tracks are because even the so called lesser known songs are appreciated by the fans. Is YYZ or Xanadu a lesser known song? Maybe only to someone who has only heard their radio songs.
I can see the argument that these are all deep cuts to non-prog fans, but in the context of this forum, a lot of these aren't "deep cuts." Epitaph, Trilogy, The Barbarian, and Jacob's Ladder (even Cheyenne Anthem) are pretty well known even to non-prog fans in the rock community. I do love to see the Genesis deep cuts you mentioned here (such as lilywhite lilith, grand parade, lady lies, and culdesac) and even South side of the Sky is awesome. I think the songs you mention here that stick out to me the most are "The Wall," and "Witch Hunt," which 100% need more recognition as staples of their respective artists' catalogs.
They are all still deep cuts in my opinion. Also, Cheyenne Anthem isn't really anymore well known than The Wall. Yes, you could say some of these are well known to most prog fans but you could say that about any song from a well known album and also ones others here have suggested. Anyway, it's all in good fun (or at least it should be).
^ yep IM are legends and basically a 'closet prog band'. I remember their interviews in the 80's and they didn't shy away from comparisons to 70's bands such as Pink Floyd and Yes. The synth you mention is guitar synths (no keys!) which they started using on Somewhere In Time with a clear intention to broaden their sound. Worked (!) , although my favourite album by them is probably still Powerslave.
I'm sure you already know, but their cover of Nektar's "King of Twilight" surfaced on the bonus disc of EMI's 1995 reissue of Powerslave.

"Fox Hill," is awesome. Kinda gives me an old English "Trick of the Tail," vibe. It makes me feel happy to see Iron Maiden somewhere on this thread, and especially to see a song off "Wasted Years" mentioned. Here's something similar to that song (Awesome proggy deep cut off "Powerslave")
Agree with you about the Camel's track About Iron Maiden I’m not familiar with their discography except the song called Paschendaele. I can't say it is a IM's deep cut However this is an awesome piece of music.
I definitely recommend checking out IM! They have a lot of closet-prog songs that most fans just overlook and deem "Metal." In all truth Iron Maiden has a ton of proggy deep cuts. A lot of prog heads can't just enjoy good music that isn't eclectic for some reason, but here's a list of some of my favorite proggy (albeit heavy) IM songs:
Remember Tomorrow (Off their eponymous debut album) [NOTE: majority of the song is dominated by soft guitar overlays interrupted by the occasional rockin' section, including one of the most underrated solo sections ever by this band]
Strange World (Off their eponymous debut album) [NOTE: beautiful lyrics, heavily phased guitar, that of a band like "Eloy"]
Charlot the Harlot (Off their eponymous debut album) [NOTE: starts out super heavy but eventually broadens out, patience is key ]
Prodigal Son (Off Killers) [NOTE: Super proggy, tons of acoustic guitars genesis-esque twelve string progressions huge reccomendation]
Innocent Exile (Off Killers) [NOTE: sounds like an 80s version of an early Budgie song with complex drumming]
The Prisoner (Off Number of the Beast) [NOTE: opens with a old-timey monologue which transitiions into one of the most lyrically powerful songs by IM with lyrics like "I'm not a number, I'm a free man," and "Scratch me from your black book"]
Revelations (Off Piece of Mind) [NOTE: Very mythological lyrics about ancient Egypt)
The Duelists (Off Powerslave) [NOTE: Pretty thumpin, can be chill at times, but overall just some majestic-ass guitar riffing and progressions]
Infinite Dreams (Off Seventh Son of a Seventh Son) [NOTE: the beginning has a lot of synth which gives a progressive vibe, and then the song picks up about half way through]
The Prophecy (Off Seventh Son of a Seventh Son) [NOTE: This song is bookended by some of the proggiest guitar ever done by this band, but the middle get pretty heavy]
