So why has France got two shows next year but the UK only has one?

Eric, like Saap you seem wedded to the word legato in describing Dave's lead technique!@Saapanael
Personally I think the studio version is cleaner in respect to Davey's solo. RIR I hear rapid legato sweeps and sixteenth note flourishes but when listening to it it sounds like a huge blur, if that makes any sense.

The word you're looking for, in this instance, is tapping.
[You probably couldn't have picked a better example to illustrate Dave's use of tapping (which is unusual for him, as he doesn't employ the technique often) & not using legato.]
Yeh, I'm sure he uses tapping somewhere else, I just couldn't think of a better example than SotC at RiR.IIRC he also does some tapping on his solo after Powerslave in Rock in Rio '85
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're saying one thing and doing another. Like that's news.
The 2014 Tour will include dates in countries not visited during the 2013 leg and will be a much shorter run than is usual for a Maiden tour. Manager Rod Smallwood explains,
“The Maiden England 2013 Tour was incredibly well received everywhere and there is much demand from fans to see more and for the band to visit some places in Europe we couldn’t make it to this year so we thought we should play a few more shows.
Where are new countries???
I'm betting they also hit Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Ireland and maybe Greece, though things are a bit dodgy there with the financial crisis.
True. I guess Greece is the one I've heard in the media the most. Still, I'd be surprised if they skipped any of them.Things are a bit dodgy economically in all of those countries except Norway and Finland.
True. I guess Greece is the one I've heard in the media the most. Still, I'd be surprised if they skipped any of them.
Perhaps they'll do a bit more eastern Europe as well, Belarus and Ukraine maybe?
True. Plus, they haven't hit Greece since 2014. So they're far overdue for a Maiden-ing.As would I. If they can play gigs in obscure and dirt poor Latin American countries during Flight 666 and SBIT, I'm sure any country in Western Europe (or even some east like Poland) shouldn't be an issue.
