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.
Says vocalist Bruce Dickinson ; "For this summer tour we will be able to bring along all of Eddie's toys which we couldn't get on our plane during this first leg. We are all having a great time on this tour and really can't believe the excitement it is creating around 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"

Judging by just about every other show Iron Maiden has played in America, you better get your tickets fast.

Slightly old news, but hasnt been posted yet. I'll be at the Madison Square Garden show for what certainly will be the most epic live performance ever.
Their recent show in New Jersey sold out in two days, believe me, I tried to get tickets.

It will be worth it

I had the option to go to either the Camden, Holmdel, or New York show. I just think the fact that theyre playing in Madison Square Garden in front of a bigger audience would make the show better. And I got close seats too.
