Didn't see anything about this here, so I thought I'd throw it in.
Are you a fan of 80's Maiden?
World Tour 2008
From ironmaiden.com:
"...this tour, aptly entitled 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME', will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which will be based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 'Powerslave Tour'. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented, and will include some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986/7, such as the Cyborg Eddie."
This is going to kick such major ass. The only currently announced US dates are LA and NJ. More dates to follow.
The actual tour plane (Bruce is flying it):
(I emailed the info to a good friend who was quoted as saying: "I better get my bandanas and leather studded wristbands cuz I am going to rock that shit.")
Look up! Scream in terror! Get smooshed! Fear me, for I am PARTYZILLA!

Cool, it's also good to see the Riggs is still alive and doing the artwork. I loved my Iron Maiden posters growing up in the 80s and I still love putting Piece of Mind in the CD player on my bike commute in the morning..

To paraphrase Maddox, If you could divide by zero when calculating the sum total of all ass that is possible to kick, the answer would approach the 2008 Iron Maiden World Tour.

Re: Iron Maiden World Tour 2008
Nice info about the staging, Buzz. They've been threatening a "first five albums only" tour for a while now. They cancelled the last two NYC shows on their "Powerslave" tour all those years ago due to most of the band getting the flu after playing Rock in Rio, so I never got to see that tour in person.

| I can still remember when that first Maiden album was released |
I remember dropping the needle on Side One, Track One, and hearing "Prowler" for the first time. It was a life-changing moment for me, and one of the greatest moments of my life. I still get chills when I hear it.

| We could never have imagined a day when a band like Metallica would be at the status they are now (hell, thinking they could be even be signed to a major was inconceivable!) or Iron Maiden being flying around the world on their own jet. |
What flips me out even more than that is the LONGEVITY of these great bands. I never dreamed bands like Maiden, Metallica, and Slayer would stand the test of time, no matter how much I loved and believed in them.
Are you still involved with Sacred Blade, Jeff?

My very first concert was Maiden on the Powerslave tour. This is veeery tempting.
I wonder if I still have my Aces High t-shirt
You want to upgrade again?!!

Anyone else going?

I found out Friday night that I'm going to that same show. The last Maiden show I saw live was the "Somewhere in Time" tour, which was just about 20 years ago...

Re: Iron Maiden World Tour 2008
In case the Maiden fans around here haven't noticed, the band officially announced the release of "Live After Death" on DVD for early next year.
I've never seen this legendary concert video and can't wait to get my hands on it.

Re: Iron Maiden World Tour 2008
You had me worried for a moment there. . .Live After Death was supposed to be included as part of the second "History of Iron Maiden" volume.
It still is, but they're billing it as Live After Death with a bonus disc of History material instead of the other way around.
Wonder if there'll be a blu-ray. . .

This was indeed the set they played in New Jersey last Friday night. Quite honestly, it was one of the best shows of my entire life! The last time I saw Maiden was on the Somewhere in Time tour back in '87. Once again, IM proved exactly why they are The Greatest Heavy Metal Band Ever to Walk the Earth (It's my opinion, and I'm sticking with it).

Sometimes opinions and facts intersect.
I'm crossing my fingers for a BD of this show. . .

Chris, I'm very sorry to hear that, on both accounts, but especially the latter.

Me, too. Hell, I'll settle for a DVD! I just want a document of this tour, which I think we'll get at some point, although I haven't heard of any shows being filmed as of yet.
