NOTE:
About the tour in France 1981.
Acourding to a magazine at the time called "Folk &
Rock" these were the dates. More information are always
welcome.
(Hagondange is found by Ryan, in the magazine it says "Le
Havre", but it makes no sence at all.)
NOTE 1:
Due to public demand they had to do two (2) concerts the same day
in Milan.
NOTE 2:
Source: "Aardshock Magazine"
NOTE 3:
The Scandinavian dates and 3 German dates were cancelled due to
Paul´s throat problems.
NOTE 4:
The lead singer in "More" was the first lead singer of
"Iron Maiden" - Paul Mario Day
NOTE 5:
There is a poster which state that this concert was due to happen
on May 3rd, 1981. Maybe they tried to have a second go in Berlin
or not.
NOTE 6:
There is a bootleg called "Cross Eyed
Mary" that state to be recorded at this date, this is
totally wrong as the bootleg only contains
B-side recordings of official recording by Iron Maiden. Also, the
distance from France to Saarbrucken and back again, is just to
long.
