Iron Maiden - A tour Diary
Martin Brennan has posted part 1 of his tour diary onthe road with Iron Maiden on the Give Me 'Ed tour. Here's an excert:<blockquote>
March 2003. Back in Blighty. Meetings with Dicky Bell, Maiden’s legendary Production Manager (now Pre-Production, cos he doesn’t actually do the touring any more) are held. Meetings with Alan Chesters, the set designer, and meetings with Dave Ridgway, Managing Director of Neg Earth Lights, the lighting supply company for the band since I’ve been with them, and a great company. Ideas, budgets and logistics are thrown about, numbers crunched and small toys thrown out of prams, until, finally, a deal is stuck.
We are booked into Nottingham’s Ice Arena for Production Rehearsals. We only have four days, which is incredibly tight for a production of this size, but we have a fabulous crew, who work their bollocks off to make it happen. Alan’s set is a bit of a corker. It has all of the “usual” Maiden elements, but there are a few elements, which are new to the band.</blockquote>
