Filmed and recorded over four spectacular nights at Long Beach Arena on the Powerslave Tour"in 1985, this has long been a benchmark for rock concert videos and live albums, and the CD remains one of the biggest-selling live albums ever with sales in excess of six million worldwide. With the video having been largely unavailable for many years, the fan's massive interest in this legendary concert continues to this day with the DVD debuting at No. 1 on charts around the world (including The UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and Finland), as well as No 2 on the Billboard USA Chart and in Canada. This tour revisits the band's history by focusing almost entirely on their classic 80's period in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which is based around the legendary Egyptian Production of that Powerslave Tour as portrayed on the Live After Death DVD. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented. Furthermore the band intends to bring along for this summer leg of the tour the colossal mummy of Eddie, as featured on the Live After Death DVD, along with various other elements of the show that would not fit on their 757 on the first leg of this tour, which included the shows at the Forum and Izod Centre. Sadly no jumbo has a door big enough to fit in such a massive and imposing monster!!! Says vocalist Bruce Dickinson ; "We are all greatly looking forward to getting back to see our fans in places like Texas, the South West and Seattle where we haven't played for quite some time. And for this leg we will be able to bring along all Eddie's toys which we couldn't get on our plane during the first leg. We are all having a great time on this tour and really can't believe the excitement it is creating round the world and the huge numbers of people who are turning out to see us. It makes for a really very exciting time for all of us, fans and band alike." - Sun, 2 Mar 2008 12:07am | ||

| BBJones User Info... | and a sad quote from IM.com.... "Wikipedia Dates? Published: March 4, 2008 Useful as it is, anyone who's ever submitted school work based on what they found on Wikipedia surely knows that it's not always entirely factual. In the case of Iron Maiden un-announced tour dates, its very much a work of fiction! Remember folks, dates aren't official until they are announced right here on IM.com. You don't have long to wait - the second leg dates for North America will be published soon. But in the meantime, please don't pay attention to tour info on Wikipedia or any sites that have copied the same rumours cos I can tell you all that they're not correct and we'd hate for anyone to make concrete plans based on bad information." - Tue, 4 Mar 2008 9:37am Edited: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 9:40am | ||

| Sati User Info... | Woah! Haha, I like the way that has tomorrow's date on it. Thanks for posting it. It wasn't hard to figure out it was a go seeing as how live nation had Eddie up all over the place. And I think one of the canadian dates was already leaked/up on ticketmaster's site. - Sun, 16 Mar 2008 9:13pm Edited: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 9:14pm | ||
