World Slavery Tour question (stage set up)

[Dick Brucinson]

I have a question regarding the World Slavery Tour. I bet we all know the huge stage set with the golden pharaonic Eddie head behind the stage from which the mummy later rises. I have seen other World Slavery Tour live photos that have shown just backdrops. So my question: Was the big head and the mummy part of every show, or did they use this set up only in the larger venues but backdrops for the smaller venues? (I'm at work in office, so I can't attach any pictures, but could do later when I'm back home)

That's a good question and the answer is that they used this Eddie in every venue they did. Bruce said himself : "You could set it up in small theatres or big arenas and it would always look fantastic.".

Although I am not sure how accurate the dates for these pictures might be, it seems they were already using the big mummy in 1984.

I wouldn't base the answer to this on what Bruce says. We all know his memory is a little hazy to say the least.

Sounds like a thread for @Kalata and his pictures.

Saw this tour back in 1984 in Cardiff (Wales, UK) and they did not use the big golden Eddie.

During Iron Maiden the walk on mummy Eddie came on instead. I was gobsmacked when I finally saw the big Golden Eddie on the Live After Death video the following year.
