World Slavery Tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Slavery Tour was a concert tour by the heavy metal band Iron Maiden from August 9, 1984 to July 5, 1985. It was one of the longest tours in rock history.[citation needed]
The production value of the stage, pyrotechnics, lighting, sound, and extent to the use of Eddie The Head is arguably the best ever put on by any band. Some of the original props (like the sarcophagi) can be seen in Eddie's Bar in Portugal.
Iron Maiden's live album Live After Death was recorded during this tour, during the band's four shows at London's Hammersmith Odeon in October 1984 and four shows at the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California in March 1985.
