Do you have a picture or a link to a video?

The X Factour
1 & 1.2- Man On The Edge (1.2 - the backdrop is the cover of MOTE single)
2- Iron Maiden
3- Wrathchild (and possibly on more songs)
Note: on all other songs that have been played on that tour - they used a black background.
^It's difficult to see (I checked the Chile '96 show and some other footage available on the net). It's strange that Trooper Eddie was not presented as a backdrop! I'll be happy if someone help with info, pics or videos.

*You can spot the inscription Cart & Horses on the backdrop for Hooks In You - nice detail.

Thanks mate. I really appreciate it.
I'm planning to search if they used (more than one or two) backdrops for the tours in the 80's, but if they are only one or two for a whole tour I also will post them.
I'm really having a lot of fun revisiting all the past tours and searching for backdrops. Hope you like it and enjoy it as much as I, guys.
Edit: It was very hard to find for some of the tours, but I said: No Surrender!
