Iron Maiden released The History of Iron Maiden – Part 1: The Early Years in September of last year to much acclaim. The double DVD focuses on the early days of the band and covers the period of the first four classic albums, Iron Maiden, Killers, Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind. Touring in support of The Early Years, manager Rod Smallwood explains that it ‘gives us a fantastic opportunity to give the fans a set with lots of materiel from those great albums’.
The first four albums and tours are being taken as the theme for the production of the show and will feature some of the ideas incorporated in the early days of the band, particularly on The Beast on the Road Tour and the World Piece Tour. Everything on the technical side however will be state of the art in terms of screens, lights and PA.
Special guest on the night comes from one of the most notorious and controversial entertainers ever, Marilyn Manson. In September of last year, Manson released the album Lest We Forget, a collection of songs covering the highlights of his career.

Saw them last year in the point. Gig was a bit short but they rocked. Rather surreal afterwards though as the PA played "Always look on the bright side of life" when the lights came back up at the end.
