That would have been better for the video. It really bugs me that the walk on Eddie comes out and draws focus away from the solo in Powerslave.

During TBOS, Bruce removing Eddie's heart from his chest was a lot of fun but it also draw people's attention from Adrian's solo.

I saw Maiden on the Brave New World tour in Glasgow and I can't remember which Eddie it was that came on, I'm sure that clips the first I've seen the Wicker Man one. Anyone that was at the UK gigs remember?
Also am I imagining things or during Sign of the Cross on that tour was there crosses or cages at the back of the stage?

Correct! In addition to the prop seen in the video above, they also reused the backdrop from VXI tour with three crosses.

Yeah thought that, just when I was watching the Rock In Rio show I was thinking I remember Bruce up on a cross at this point.
Found a video of the Manchester gig on youtube and it's the Ed Hunter Eddie, so I'll assume it was the same for Glasgow. Knew I'd never seen that Wicker Man Eddie before.

Eddie's head behind the drums as a stage prop during World Piece Tour was a great idea imo (too bad it was not there during the whole concert)...
*but it was there in Dortmund 1983 during the whole concert.

Btw, Steve has this Eddie head under a tree in his house:

Actually, I made a mistake - the 2 walk-on Eddies were used during FOTD tour (you can see the second one in Donington '92 during ''The Clairvoyant''). For RLT 1993 they used the walk-on Eddie from NPOTR tour (but with a leather jacket on it).

Of course not. The second one was used occasionally (for FOTD tour).

^ Can someone share a video where this walk-on Eddie appears on stage live? I can't find one.

I've seen them Live in the summer of 2000 and I don't remember that one.
Maybe he only appeared at the beginning of the tour and they leave him aside because he didn't works well as the same happens with Fear of the Dark WWE

Eddie looks like an old man in a plaid suit here.

Trivia:
The only tours for which Maiden used walk-on or big Eddies that are not from covers of the band are:
- big Eddie from LOTB tour (we can find him on the official tour posters though).
- walk-on Eddie from ME tour.
- big Eddie from GME tour & Early Days tour (it looks like POM Eddie or Visions Of The Beast Eddie to me?)

^ Yeah, Adrian's solo in Live After Death video is not even shown! But the walk-on mummy Eddie should appear during ''Powerslave'', it's emblematic.
At least his great 1st solo is shown a few times in the Live Chapter video, but his short 2nd solo is not shown at all.
