Something curious:

Back in 2008, Maiden were nominated for Best Live Return category at the Vodafone Live Music Awards - the band disagreed with their nomination and asked to be withdrawn, stating that they were ''not quite sure where we are returning from''.
From the edge of the world, probably. :D

Idk about the reason behind the nomination, but Somewhere Back In Time was a pretty big tour for the band and a big success. One of the best tours of Maiden in terms of performance, setlist and stage design for sure.
