Unreal duo of Iron Maiden & Dream Theater… unreal great. I really hope I can score the chance to see this tour. Also… that is one creepy version of Eddie… I like it.
Do someone the prices for the tickets and the songs for the tour??????????????????
If this is their last tour, NO FLORIDA DATES????????????????????????????????
This is a good come back album for the Iron Maiden. This band always give us the best rock music ever in their entire rock and roll career.
In our Argentinian hearts, Maiden has alwaws a very important place. Many of us also are Dream Theater’s fans.
We look with envy this US tour and hope that some sponsor bring enough money to extend this to South America. I believe we deserve it!!!
Fan till’ death

South Florida fans..this could be a BIG blessing in disguise..last time we got the ‘last show’ of somewhere back in time tour at the end of their South American journey, because of our location. You know they’re going to South America. If this is the Final Frontier (don’t think it is, but..), we could end up with the last ever Maiden show in the US! We’ll have another sold out arena waiting for them!
Nur ein sehr europäischen Gedanken baut eine Bilderwelt, die Panoramabild-Landschaften hat, schneebedeckte Berge, weite Wiesen, flache Täler, malerische Landschaft vor unseren Augen seine eine Beschreibung, die so erfrischend und beruhigend ist, als käme sie direkt aus das Märchenbuch.
English Maegan….English please….Nobody understand what you said.
Can’t wait to go see them. Up the Irons.
By the Way, Maegen said “Only a very European idea builds a pictorial world, the panorama-landscapes,, snowcapped mountains, meadows, shallow valleys, picturesque landscape before our eyes his a description, which are so refreshing and comforting, as would be directly from the Märchenbuch.”
Does anyone know which albums they will be performing. I saw them in Albuquerque a few years ago, and they ROCKED!!! I have seen them everytime they come within driving distance. I have also seen Bruce when he did his tattooed millionaire album. I cannot tell you how fantastic it was to see him play a small venue (a good sized bar). I got to go back stage (friends of the sound man), and believe me when I tell you if my husband wasn’t there…. Anyway, enough of my regrets… Does anyone have a clue which tune they will be rockin?
I just saw them in houston last weekend. Be prepared for 2 grueling hours of New era maiden Material. Encore was the best part of the show. So glad I was able to catch them twice on the “Somewhere back in time” tour. This was a slap in the face for Old school maiden fans.
