IRON MAIDEN Thanks Fans For Coming Out To See Band On 'Legacy Of The Beast' Tour

British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have released a new video message thanking all the fans who came to see them during the just-completed “Legacy Of The Beast” tour.

IRON MAIDEN has been opening its concerts on the trek with “Aces High” and continuing with “Where Eagles Dare”. Other notable tracks aired during the set included the Blaze Bayley-era classics “The Clansman” and “Sign Of The Cross”, as well as three additional songs that were performed for the first time in years: “For The Greater Good Of God”, “The Wicker Man” and “Flight Of Icarus”.

The concept for the “Legacy Of The Beast” tour was inspired by MAIDEN‘s mobile game and comic book of the same name and the stage set design featured a number of different but interlocking “worlds” with a setlist covering a large selection of 1980s material with a handful of surprises from later albums to add diversity.

MAIDEN‘s “The Book Of Souls” world tour kicked off in early 2016 and hit North America last year. The band’s Mayan-themed set saw Eddie, MAIDEN‘s omnipresent mascot, having his heart torn out of his chest by singer Bruce Dickinson, who threw the heart into the crowd.

“The Book Of Souls” is MAIDEN‘s first ever double studio album and their most successful chart-wise to date, debuting at the No. 1 spot in over 40 countries around the world and No. 4 in the U.S.A.
