IRON MAIDEN Concludes 'Somewhere Back In Time World Tour'; Video Of BRUCE's Speech Available

April 3, 2009

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN played the final show on their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour last night (Thursday, April 2) at the Bank Atlantic Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Watch fan-filmed video footage of singer Bruce Dickinson's speech from last night's concert below.

The Somewhere Back in Time Tour revisited the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the '80s — in both choice of songs played, and the stage set, which was based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 Powerslave tour and featured on the recent DVD "Live after Death". This was arguably the most elaborate and spectacular show the band has ever presented, and included some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986-1987, such as the Cyborg Eddie character.

Having taking off in early February 2008, MAIDEN made their first appearances in New Zealand in 16 years via Belgrade, Dubai and Bangalore, followed by the long haul up to Mexico through a very extensive run through Latin America, finishing the tour now in Florida.

Fans around the world will be able to see what it was like flying on Ed Force One in the recently announced movie "Flight 666", which will play in selected cinemas around the world on Tuesday, April 21.
