IRON MAIDEN FAQ (2/2)
Blondie
-->> 29 <<-- Other significant dates in IRON MAIDEN history
============================================================
1972 - Steve Harris graduates from Leyton County High School, Leytonstone,
London, England (on the East End).
May 1976 - The words "Iron Maiden's...gonna get you...no matter how far" were
first uttered at the Cart & Horses Tavern at Maryland Point,
Stratford, England.
'76/'77 - Maiden establishes themselves on the East End London heavy metal
scene.
Mid '77 - Den Wilcock quits right before a gig at the Green Man Plumstead,
England.
12/31/78 - Paul Di'Anno's debut with IRON MAIDEN, at the Ruskin Arms, High
Street North, Manor Park, East London, England.
12/31/78 - The first 4 songs EP was recorded at Spacewood Studios in
Cambridge, England. The songs were: Prowler, Invasion, Iron
Maiden, and Strange World. Once the band returned with more money
to remix, etc., the studio had wiped the master clean, so the demo
tape (which eventually became the Soundhouse Tapes) was put onto
vinyl exactly as it was recorded that night. It cost them about
$400 or so.
Early 79 - First real press exposure for IRON MAIDEN.
02/02/79 - Maiden's equipment truck, equipment and all, were stolen, worth
12,000 pounds altogether. All of this was later recovered less
than a month later, and the 4 perpetrators were later charged with
stealing and burglary. The main guy was named Ilkay Bayram, and
they were from Homerton, England.
Early summer 79 - Rod Smallwood hooks up with Maiden as their manager.
09/03/79 - Charity benefit concert at the Music Machine, London, England,
supporting Motorhead (Motorhead was billed as Iron Fist And The
Hordes From Hell).
09/06/79 - Paul Di'Anno is arrested 5 minutes before Maiden goes on stage
at The Swan, Hammersmith, London, England. He was charged with
concealing a weapon (a knife), and forced Maiden to go on as a
3-piece (Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Doug Sampson), playing a
largely instrumental set, with Steve Harris doing vocals.
10/03/79 - 10/04/79 - Free concerts played at The Swan, Hammersmith, London,
England...trying to attract record labels. Chrysalis records
turned up, but couldn't make up their mind whether or not they
were interested.

Praying Mantis and Ian Flemming.
10/24/79 - IRON MAIDEN first signs with EMI records. (Paul Di'Anno of Ching-

This gig was complete with amps covered in cotton wool snow and
a headbanging Santa.
End '79 - Maiden (Rod Smallwood) meets up with artist Derek Riggs.

takes in their show in support of the Metal For Muthas album, at
the London Lyceum, England.
02/15/80 - Metal For Muthas compilation released.
02/15/80 - First single, Running Free b/w Burning Ambition, is released. It
goes to #44 in the first week of its release. It peaked at #33

Feb '80 - Maiden plays LIVE on Britain's TOP OF THE POPS, the first band
ever to do so (at the time), other than The Who in 1972.
03/15/80 - First Headline Performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, England (on
the Judas Priest tour). They got to play about a 45 minute set
for each gig on the tour.
04/05/80 - Kotrijk Festival, Belgium. The IRON MAIDEN Head (the forerunner
to Eddie) was blown off the stage and into the crowd (instead of
just shooting smoke like it was supposed to have). One crazed fan
gave up his job to follow Maiden around Europe for 2 months!
Also, Maiden's first gig outside of the United Kingdom.
04/10/80 - Gig at Central Hall, Grimsby, England. Paul's voice was going
out and was so rough, the band stormed through an instrumental
set and told the audience they'd be back in October (and they
were!)
04/11/80 - Debut album IRON MAIDEN is released, and smashes into the UK chart
at #4, going silver within the first month of its release.
May '80 - Some people become irked at the cover of the upcoming single
Sanctuary, as it depicts Eddie hovering with a knife over a dead
Margaret Thatcher.
05/16/80 - Sanctuary single, b/w Drifter and I've Got The Fire (both live),
is released. It eventually got to #29 on the UK charts.
Summer '80 - First major headline tour (had to back out of a few dates, due
to Paul Di'Anno's voice that kept going out).
Summer '80 - Before one gig in Edinburgh, Scotland, Clive Burr had food
poisoning real bad and wasn't supposed to play, but Vic Vella (the
main driver/roadie guy) and others dragged him out of bed to play,
whereupon he fainted at the end of the gig. What a trooper.
06/20/80 - First ever London concert hall headliner, London, Rainbow,
England.
07/03/80 - 07/05/80 - Maiden packs the Marquee, London, England. They are
filmed by ITV for an edition of Twentieth Century Box that was
screened on 08/17/80. This was a special "New Wave Metal" probe
(only after a year on the music press), which majored on Maiden.
08/18/80 - Maiden signs contract with Kiss to open for them on concerts over
the next 2 months.
08/17/80 - Marquee Club in London performance aired on Twentieth Century

Norway.
10/27/80 - IRON MAIDEN featured in Geoff Barton's SOUNDS FEATURE (first photo
session for the press).
Oct' 80 - Dennis Stratton leaves the band, Adrian Smith joins. If Adrian
Smith had said no (again), the band's 2nd choice believe it or not
was none other than Phil Collen, now of Def Leppard fame.
Oct '80 - Women In Uniform b/w Invasion single is released. It reached #35
on the UK charts. Women In Uniform was a cover, originally done
by Aussie band "Skyhooks."
Nov '80 - Maiden got offered TOP OF THE POPS again, and again did it live,
but it turned out to backfire...the sound levels were really
shitty, and they weren't allowed to play at full volume, and also
weren't allowed to have Eddie on stage (due to the 'family
programming nature of the show). :)
Nov '80 - A video is made for Women In Uniform. This was before the MTV
explosion (which began in summer 1981 I think, and MTV Europe even
later). This was pretty much the first video made for a rock
band ever at the time, except for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
How's that for trend-setters?!
Nov '80 - Maiden records KILLERS, with Martin Birch at the producing helm.
11/21/80 - Adrian Smith's first gig at Brunel University, Uxbridge (so that
the new lineup wouldn't go into the studio to record KILLERS in
a 'virginal' state).
12/21/80 - Gig taped at Rainbow Theatre, London, England. Due to technical
difficulties, half of the set had to be played a *2nd* time!
Actually, one of the sound lines went down about halfway through
the show, so such classics as IRON MAIDEN and Phantom Of The Opera
weren't gotten the first time around. 2+ hours of Maiden
altogether though! This Delta Production directed by Dave Hillier
came out as a half hour live EMI video in March 1981.
Feb '81 - 2nd album KILLERS is released. It reaches #78 on the Billboard
charts, and stays in the chart for 17 weeks. It reached sales
of 200,000 sales (four times the sales of IRON MAIDEN) at the
time.
02/09/81 - Review in SOUNDS magazine deems Killers album as 'mediocre' and
a definite flop...and that Maiden wouldn't go far. What
suckers!
02/17/81 - Beginning of Killers tour in Ipswich, Gaumont, England. Maiden
played 125 gigs in 6 months across Europe, Japan, Australia and
North America, taking in 15 countries and headlining everywhere
except the USA where, like Japan, the band was making their first
visit ever.
Feb '81 - All 3 concerts in Japan for May '81 were sold out in less than
2 hours.
First week of Mar '81 - Twilight Zone b/w Wrathchild single released. It
reached #31 on the UK charts.
05/21/81 - First gig in Japan (Killers Japan Tour), Kosei Nenkin Hall, Tokyo,
Japan.
06/03/81 - First American gig (Killers US and Canada Tour), Aladdin Hotel,
Las Vegas, NV.
Jun '81 - Purgatory b/w Genghis Khan single released. It eventually got to
#46 on the UK charts, which was (at least until '85) the band's
least sucessful British single ever. The original cover design
for this signle was actually held over for a year, and eventually
used as the cover for THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST album.
06/21/81 - First Canadian gig, first gig in Ontario (Killers US and Canada
Tour), Concert Hall, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Headlined the 1,500 seater here.
06/22/81 - First gig in Quebec (Killers US and Canada Tour), Le Club,
Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
09/06/81 - First gig in Yugoslavia (Killers Europe Tour), Belgrade,
Yugoslavia.
Sep '81 - Paul Di'Anno quits Maiden, and in comes Bruce Bruce/Air Raid Siren
Dickinson (from Samson). Steve Harris went right to Bruce for the
audition. Bruce was to have learned 6 songs...instead he learned
15. Due to legal problems with the collapse of Samson's record
label GEM Records, Bruce was actually supposedly prohibited by law
in actually writing songs for Maiden for the first year. This is
why the first songwriting credit Bruce gets is one PIECE OF MIND,
1983 with "Revelations", and shares credits on "Flight Of Icarus",
"Die With Your Boots On", and "Sun And Steel".
10/26/81 - Bruce's first gig (the first in a series of "break-in" gigs in
Italy over 5 days) in Palasport, Bologna, Italy. All the gigs
were sold out.
11/15/81 - Bruce's first concert in the UK, at the Rainbow Theatre, London,
England.
12/23/81 - Maiden plays at the Ruskin Arms, London, England, under the name
Genghis Khan. This is also Dave Murray's birthday, so he gets
the pies in the face (a tradition for the band) on stage.
End '81 - Killers had crashed into every major album market in the world,
going top 10 in the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, and
Belgium, and going Top 80 in the USA. In the process it had gone
gold in Britain, Canada, and Japan, and double-gold in France.
Feb '82 - The NUMBER OF THE BEAST is recorded (having been written over Dec
'81 and Jan '82). All kinds of weird shit started happening to
them during these sessions: lights started going on and off in
the studio of their own accord, the recording equipment myster-
iously broke down, things were going 'bump' in the night, specif-
ically the band's gear which began emitting creaks, groans, and
other strange noises; Martin Birch (the albums's producer) crashed
his car on the way to the studio one night, into another driver (a
religious type), and the bill for damages was 666 pounds (he ended
up paying 667). They originally gave themselves 6 week to
record it, but it ended up only taking about 3 1/2.
02/25/82 - Beginning of the Beast On The Road tour, Dunstable, England. This
tour upped teh ante to 18 countries and an incredible 180 shows.
03/22/82 - THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST album is released. The album smashed into
the UK charts at #1 (and stayed there for the 2nd week as well),
and went on to surpass the sales of KILLERS everywhere. It also
reached #33 on the Billboard charts, strutting around the Top 100
for over 8 months, and clocking up sales of well over 350,000 in
the process (which meant worldwide the band had over-taken '81's
impressive sales of over one million as early as summer of '82!)
It also went top ten in Canada, going platinum in the process.
British fans also voted it the #2 Metal LP of all time in KERRANG
magazine less than 2 years later (PIECE OF MIND was #1).
Mar '82 - Run To The Hills b/w Total Eclipse single released. It eventually
reached #7 on the UK charts, their first ever top ten single
(despite their lack of radio air play). The video the band did
for it with David Mallett featured Maiden live footage inter-
spersed with comic extracts from an old Buster Keaton movie,
though Buster himself couldn't be shown for copyright reasons. It
made TOP OF THE POPS when the single went top ten, and the newly
emergent MTV showed it too.
Mar? '82 - During the middle of the Beast On The Road tour, and with Run To
The Hills in the top ten, Maiden appears on TISWAS, the classic
Saturday morning TV slapstick show for kids of all ages - where
not even the threat of Eddie could deter the kids from throwing
creme pies at Maiden.
03/24/82 - Maiden re-visits Paris, France. 5,000 fans decided that wrecking
the Metro was the best way of celebrating a Maiden night out, and
that venue (which one?) has been closed to rock ever since.
04/02/82 - First gig in Spain (Beast On The Road Tour), Barcelona, Spain.
Though these were the first gigs in Spain, it didn't stop them
from selling out all 3 of the 8,000 capacity gigs they played.
Apr '82 - Another first, following THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST's triumphant
reign at the top of the charts - the NME asked for an inteview.
The NME was and remains completely anti-rock, so Maiden agreed to
do the interview as long as it was solely on their terms, i.e.,
printed in a question and answer format (so as to stop them from
mis-quoting and misleading), and that they got the front page.
NME eventually reluctantly agreed, and sent forth their most
notorious interviewer Paul Morley to interview them (he got pretty
drunk during the interview as well). Morley didn't give Harris
and Dickinson credit for being brighter than he though, so he
couldn't really 'take them down' in the interview, and eventually
Eddie himself appeared on the front page.
Mid Apr '82 - During the European leg of the Beast On The Road Tour, Bruce
picks up a chest infection, and 3 dates on the French Riveria
had to be pulled.
Spring '82 - (The Beast On The Road Tour) - this is the tour that Maiden
decided to do something to curb the pirate merchandisers who
habitually plagued rodck gigs. They actually got pretty firm
about this stuff, even getting a few people arrested and
charged, since their phony merchandise was always of a pretty
cheesy quality.
05/10/82 - The Number Of The Beast b/w Remember Tomorrow single is released
in the UK. It went top 20, and the video featured ballroom
dancers waltzing merrily with '666' on their backs. The big Eddie
(the 12 foot tall one) made his first appearnce on the Beast On
The Road tour, but even though Eddie made an appearance in the
video, he was edited out by MTV after viewers complained that he
was scaring them too much.
05/11/82 - First American Performance for Beast On The Road Tour, Flint, MI
(supporting Rainbow for 3 weeks, then .38 Special in the south
for several gigs). Bruce bangs his head around so much here that
for another month or so afterwards he has to sport a movement-
restricting surgical collar. After the injury time passed in
agony with Bruce passing through the mitts of various US quacks
who prescribed a frightening array of downers (one even prescribed
horse tranquilizers) to deaden the pain, while one who charged
$150 for a 20 minute consultation recommended surgery! He
eventually got everything taken care of at a chiropractor's
office.
06/11/82 - Maiden opens for .38 Special in Memphis, TN, on Donnie Van Zant's
birthday (supposedly one of the more memorable gigs/nights on the
tour).
06/19/82 - First gig in Norman, OK. This was the last night of that stretch
of the Beast On The Road Tour (they continued on in Canada a few
days later), and Adrian Smith got drunk as a skunk and barely
made the plane, thanks to Dave Murray and a full bottle of Chivas
Regal.
06/25/82 - First Canadian Headline Performance in Quebec City, Quebec,
Canada. 9,000 people showed up!
06/29/82 - First American Headline Performance (Beast On The Road Tour), The
Palladium, New York, NY. It was a sell-out performance, marred
only by one asshole 'fan' hurling a firework on stage, hitting
Dave Murray's guitar roadie Bill Barclay in head and almost
blinding him. Apparently the kid who did it was given a severe
kicking by other fans after the gig, so justice was done! The
advertisements for the Palladium show included a picture of Eddie
holding aloft the bitten-off head of Ozzy Osbourne (who the year
before had outraged most of America by biting off the head of a
dove, followed closely by biting the wing off a pigeion and then
by chewing on a bat's head.). The press release at the time
explained that Eddie was a great friends of bats in general, and
had decided to avenge Ozzy's latest outrage. Unbelievably Ozzy's
label boss Don Arden called up Rod Smallwood and said he thought
the Maiden ad was in "bad taste", and asked them to withdraw the
picture, so they did.
07/20/82 - First gig in British Columbia (Beast On The Road Tour), Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada.
07/23/82 - First gig in Alberta (Beast On The Road Tour), Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada.
07/26/82 - First gig in Saskatchewan (Beast On The Road Tour), Regina,
Saskatchewan, Canada.
07/27/82 - First gig in Manitoba (Beast On The Road Tour), Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada.
Jul '82 - Eddie-fever really starts catching on in the US. In New York he
was swinging off the Empire State building with a conquered King
Kong in his mitts. In California he was rinding a shark surf-
board style. In Texas he was depicted gnawing on an armadillo in
the desert.
Jul '82 - Maiden were special guests of the Scorpions.
Summer '82 - Maiden becomes a focus of people like the Moral Majority and
the God Squad in Arkansas, who wanted the album to carry
stickers warning of their eveil satanic nature. This was only
the first...
08/10/82 - Gig in Beaumont, TX. The night before, Bruce walks into a bar
with some pretty short shorts, showing off his stocky hairball
legs and red and white socks. The bar manager deemed them
"offensive" (even though he had worn them the night before), so
Bruce left and came back a few minutes later with a T-shirt that
said "FUCK" on the front of it, and jean cut-offs, cut off just
under the bottoms of those same shorts. Nobody said a thing.
08/11/82 - Gig at Corpus Christi, TX, a very solid set. They drag Ross
Halfin (photographer) up on stage and strip him naked in front of
8,000+ people who count to 30. The rest band gets him backstage
and get some naked photos of him taking a shower (revenge), and
get them distributed to record companies all over London.
08/28/82 - Another performance at the annual Reading Festival. For this
Maiden had to make a round trip of about 12,000 miles (from El
Paso, TX to London to Los Angeles, CA), all for one gig! They
had a couple of warm-up gigs a few days before the big night, but
Bruce was still "petrified with fear" right before the Reading
gig. They almost didn't make it on the flight there okay, since
Bruce and Dave Lights opted to take 3 of those horse tranquilizers
and didn't wake up properly for days. The gig for the band wasn't
without incident either. At first all the band could hear was
Steve's bass, then that cut out completely so Steve pannicked.
Dave Murray was playing with one ear stuck inside his guitar
cabinets; Adrian Smith was wandering around looking bewildered.
But apparently the crowd really didn't notice, and all was cool.
Bruce was said to have al his usual leaps on and off the amps,
the Number Of The Beast came complete with horror clips on the
video screen, and the show ended with a series of protracted
encores, witnessing both the time-honored 'yo yo yo' routine
(half stolen from the Police, from which it was stolen originally
by Paul Di'Anno) with the audience, and the arrival on-stage of
Ricky Medlocke from Blackfoot to jam with them.
Aug/Sep '82 - Maiden opened 2 festival bills with Foreigner, Loverboy and the
Scorpions, the Oakland gig and the Anaheim one saw them playing
to 57,000 and 75,000 people respectively!
09/11/82 - 09/12/82 - Maiden opens for the Scorpions in Portland, OR. It
was apparently pretty wild and wacky. The Scorpions
struck first, handcuffing Bruce's hadns behind his back
during Drifter, which left him trying to get the crowd
clapping without the use of his hands. At the end of
the Scorpions' set, they go to leave the stage, at
which point Maiden comes out dressed up with towels on
their heads, and forks over their eyes in the manner of
the Scorpions "Blackout" LP sleeve.
09/21/82 - Dave Murray throws his guitar into the crowd at a free festival in
Chicago, IL. Of course, he forgot to take his lead out, and it
hit a guy in the back and it cost $50 to make sure he was okay.
10/02/82 - Sold out gig at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, as special
guests of Judas Priest. This occurred 3 years to the very date
of their gig at the Hammersmith Swan in London where they first
invited record company A&R men along.
End of Oct '80 - Maiden vacations in Honolulu for 8 days, and freeze their
asses off in the rain.
11/07/82 - First gig in Australia (Beast On The Road Tour), Sydney,
Australia. Maiden was the first big foreign rock band to play
there down under since Rainbow in 1976. THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
album went top ten, selling 80,000 copies in the process (which
was 27 times as many as KILLERS had sold there) and went platinum.
Nov/Dec '82 - Sold out concerts in Japan (their return). They got another
gold album there.
Dec '82 - Clive Burr quits IRON MAIDEN.
01/08/83 - IRON MAIDEN begins recording Piece Of Mind in Jersey in the
Chanel Islands (they took over a hotel called Le Chalet for 5
weeks).
04/11/83 - Flight Of Icarus b/w I've Got The Fire single is released. Not
too successful in America (it was Maiden's first single released
there). It was thereafter pretty much viewed as a mistake to
release it there. It was the first single released in Britain in
over a year, and reached #11 on the UK charts.
05/16/83 - PIECE OF MIND was released. Maybe because of fears that the band
was 'softening up', the album entered the UK charts at #3 instead
of #1. British fans voted it Number One Metal LP of all time in
KERRANG magazine less than a year later. PIECE OF MIND was USA's
biggest release by a long shot (at the time) - it entered the
Billboard charts at #127 on 06/02/83, and leaped an incredible
92 position to #35. By its 8th week of release it had reached
#15, where it stayed for 5 weeks, and 3 months into the tour, it
had made #14. It went gold after 10 weeks, stayed in the charts
for an incredible 43 weeks, and even got THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
back into the charts and also going gold, getting as high as #79
on its 2nd lease on life.
06/01/83 - First gig in Finland (World Piece Tour), Helsinki Ice Hall,
Helsinki, Finland.
06/10/83 - First gig in Luxembourg (World Piece Tour), Schifflance Luxemburg
Hall Polyvalent, Luxembourg.
06/20/83 - The Trooper b/w Cross-Eyed Mary single is released. It made the
British top 20 once again
06/21/83 - The USA/Canada leg of the World Piece Tour begin in Casper, WY.
This was their first full headline tour of the USA and Canada.
08/15/83 - Concert at Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, NY. A lawsuit stemmed
from this concert where some girl was doing sensual dancing on
stage. I'm not sure of the outcome of this (somebody wanna
check?!), but the original article reads like this:
"Title: MODEL FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROCK GROUP."
"A 22-year old Buffalo model who claims a member of the heavy-
metal rock group IRON MAIDEN ripped off the top of her bathing
suit when she appeared on stage at a recent concert filed a
$350,000 lawsuit Wednesday against the band, its singer and its
management firm.
Attorney Arnold Lieberman, who filed the suit on behalf of model
Suzzette Kolaga, said the incident occured during Iron Maiden's
concert before about 7,000 fans in Memorial Auditorium on Aug. 15.
He said legal papers will be served on the band when it appears
in Rochester today [09/01/83] for a scheduled concert.
The suit, filed in State Supreme Court, seeks $150,000 in
general damages against the English band, singer Bruce Dickenson
and the management firm, American Talent International of New
York, plus $200,000 in punitive damages against Dickenson.
Ms. Kolaga, a professional fashion model, won a local "Ms.
Heavy Metal" contest, and because of that was invited onstage
during the performance to crack a whip and dance around Dickenson.
The suit alleges that Dickenson, without consent, warning or
provocation, pushed and assualted her and tore the top of her
bathing suit.
Dickenson "willfully, wantonly and shamelessly" exposed her to
the crowd attending the concert, the suit contends, thereby
holding her up to "scorn, shame and extremem embarrassment" and
seriously damaging her "personal and professional reputation."
Ms. Kolaga wore a one-piece bathing suit with a plunging neck-
line, thigh-high leather boots and leather gloves, with a chain
and handcuffs dangling froma leather belt.
Mr. Lieberman said she has asked not to talk to reporters
because she is "still mildly hysterical" over the incident. Mr.
Lieberman said she is only working part-time because she is still
upset."
(Note: the picture with this article shows her on stage...she
looks like a tramp...I wonder what REALLY happened?! :) ).
08/18/83 - Maiden plays Allentown, PA. The song "Mission From 'Arry" was
recorded post-gig this night. Seems that during the beginning
of Nicko's drum solo, Steve's bass quit, so he told a roadie
("Bill"), to go and tell Nicko to try and extend his solo.
Trouble was, the guy wasn't his drum roadie and didn't really
know how to go about telling him, so he ended up waving his arms
like a demented windmill and trying to yell over the noise. All
that happened was that Nicko missed the message but got distracted
enough to mess up his solo. After the gig, he clocked the guy,
which prompted a huge 1/2 hour long argument between him and
Steve. After most of that was over, Bruce went in with his
Walkman, and started stirring it up again. Steve spotted the
Walkman and said "some cunt's recording this", whereupon Nicko
went to jump on the Walkman and smash it. Fine, except Bruce
had a bunch of ideas and lyrics on the other side of the cassette
for Powerslave, so he intercepted and clocked Nicko one. Now
you'll see this as a b-side to 2 Minutes To Midnight, with writing
credits to "Harris/McBrain, and engineered by Bruce Dickinson."
09/05/83 - Concert at Kingswood Music Theatre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Rod was in his hotel room the night before and heard on the radio
that there was gonna be an Italian wine-tasting festival in the
park, and that IRON MAIDEN fans had to go through the back door
and miss out on the chance to use the fun fair beforehand (a ben-
efit which is normally included in the ticket price). Fuming
that their fans were being treated as 2nd class citizens (it
turned out that Culture Club fans the day before had been allowed
to go through the front despite the wine festival being on then,
too) - Rod got his record company guy out of bed, and by 3am they
had tracked down the promoter, who was told in no uncertain terms
that if Maiden fans had to go through the back door, the band
wouldn't play. Of course, the promoter hastily changed his tune
quickly thereafter.

10/08/83 - Maiden plays in Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (sells out

a lobotomized Madison Square Garden on the back, with the brain
peeking out from the Gardens top.

IRON MAIDEN AND SIMON DRAKE
RAISE HELL
What happens when the Madness of Metal meets the insanity of illusion?
"Raising Hell ", the most macabre musical event of all time, will take place
at a secret London venue on 28th August, when metal monsters Iron Maiden and
horror illusionist Simon Drake will combine for a very unique 90-minute
TV extravaganza.
"Raising Hell " will be beamed live on satellite to pay-per-view cable in
the USA and will also be broadcast on TV in most parts of the world. Full
details of the worldwide broadcast schedule will be announced shortly, but
will include England, Europe, Japan, Mexico and Brazil. The studio audience
will consist of contest winners from various parts of the world, combined
with members of the Iron Maiden Fan Club.
The concert marks the last Maiden appearance of Bruce Dickinson, the band
vocalist for the last eleven years. To allow Bruce to go out in style, Maiden
have teamed up with master illusionist Simon Drake to put together the most
vibrant and horrifying rock show ever staged. Appearing on specially designed
staging reminiscent of a cross between Blade Runner and Dante's inferno,
Maiden will pound out a set featuring classic cuts from their illustrious
history, from "Number of the Beast", "The Trooper" and "Run to the Hills",
through to current classics like "Fear of the Dark" and "Be Quick or Be Dead".
Integrated into the live set will be horrifying illusions of Simon Drake.
Renowned for his past work with the cult programme "Secret Cabaret", Simon
is at the cutting edge of modern-day illusions and the dark magic arts.
Very much in the vein of metal and horror, Simon combines the extremes of
gruesome illusion with anarchic, highly individual magical skills. Besides
appearing during the band's set, Simon also threatens to implicate the band
in some of his most extreme concepts. He especially promises a fitting
finale for Bruce-possibly with the aid of Eddie-at the end of the gig.
If anyone survives the mayhem, the new Maiden line-up will tour next year.

-->> 32 <<-- General Bootleg Info
==================================
IRON MAIDEN bootlegs are readily available...you just gotta look. Many
people on this very net have a literal abundance of concerts on tape, CD,
or even video. Another place is to check local record dealers, especially
the 'college-type' ones, ones with imports, etc. Then go to specific bootleg
dealers, like Goldmine, etc.
Via internet there are a few things you might want to check out. The first
is a Bootleg Music server, which will tell you all kinds of information,
from 'what is a bootleg' and other bootleg FAQs, to what the music server has
available, and will even allow you to add yours to the list.
E-mail: Sid's Music Server <mwil...@silver.ucs.indiana.edu>
using keywords like 'send BOOTLIST', 'send BOOTHELP', etc. This should get
you started in this direction.
A 2nd source for more info on boots is a big compiled list of boot dealers,
and names and addresses and numbers of where to get catalogs, etc. This file
(about 18K) is also available via ftp from cs.uwp.edu (I can't remember
exactly which directory).
