Interested to learn about the technical side of the recent 'Dance of Death' Tour ?Here is an article that will satiate you: everything that you want to know about Audio and Lightning used by Maiden on their recent tours:

"Earls Court is far from being every engineer's favourite acoustic environment. How was Hall coping? "It's a hell of a barn but compared to the last time we played here I think we've achived a great result," said the engineer. "The philosophy's the same though - not to try and send the sound all across that huge room. "The idea is not to excite the room but get the audio into the public's ears. That's why we have a pair of rear delay speakers hitting the upper balcony and two side delay systems, so that the main speaker array isn't really projecting to the very back of the room. It's covering the lower mezzanine, the lower deck area and even down on the floor we have a couple of KF750s as outfills. So we don't want to blast it from the stage and rattle it off the walls but be much more directional."
