    worldwide?

    2. What was the band's biggest ever gig (festival appearances not valid) _
    need location, date and audience total....[/li]

Some people mean well, but they really should read the questions before answering... [!--emo&:huh:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/huh.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'huh.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Come on People ! Maverick is talking about Maiden !

Which was the Iron Maiden album most sold all over the world ?

Which was (or were) the Iron Maiden concerts which had the biggest audiences ? Festivals are not valid (Rock in Rio for example)

I think it was Fear of the Dark, but its almost completely unbiased.

As for the concert I do not have any idea
 
1. Yes, it´s Fear Of The Dark if not "Dance Of Death" has passed.
2. No Idea. But if festivals are not included can it be 32.000 in Stockholm on the "Give me Ed´til i´m dead tour"!? If someone knows somewhere where it has been a bigger crowd, please write!

São Paulo, Brazil in the Dance of Death World Tour had more than 40.000
 
What about Number of the Beast? That was their first number 1 album, and been out for longer than either Seventh Son or Fear of the Dark...

And that was a Monsters of Rock festival, so I guess that doesn't count either.

I would hazard a guess and say one of their Madison Square Gardens venues?

Mav, would it perhaps be possible to get in touch with someone at Sanctuary and find out what the sales numbers are?
 
I suppose Sanctuary aren't very helpful. They very rarely answer the emails they receive...

The Monster of Rock was in The X Factour. I am talking about the show they did in 2004 which was not a festival

Anyway, these numbers seems to be something very cloudy among us...
