Description
To tie in with forthcoming 2008 releases on DVD of the classic ‘LIVE AFTER DEATH' concert video (full details coming soon) 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.
Steve Harris comments; "Toronto has always been special to Iron Maiden and it is one of the few major cities in the World where we never needed to support anybody early in our career. Thanks to fantastic support from fans there we have always headlined. We started off at l think the Concert Hall, sold out to about 1000 fans, then year by year progressed through Massey Hall, Kingswood and then to Maple Leaf Gardens for one and then next time two nights.
All on consecutive tours! It was quite a ride so we have a lot to thank Toronto for which is why we insisted on finishing here on this tour. We always have a good time in Canada and have many friends there.
Toronto is a home from home and we expect to have a great bash after the show and carry severe hangovers home the next day – except Bruce hopefully!!"
