Who is the dancer onstage during 22 Acacia Avenue (Beast Over Hammersmith)?

The blonde bit of hotness strutting her stuff in front of the lads is a bit of an anomaly... besides Eddie, who else has shared a Maiden spotlight? I witnessed this tour when it came to Canada (Winnipeg, July '82) but honestly can't remember if she came onstage that night or not. I was a very inebriated 17 year old, and some details have blurred... Did she tour with the band or was this a one - off thing? It was a cool touch to employ a visual Charlotte...
 
No insight on Charlotte, but this reminds of the sacrificial virgins in the Wickerman during the Brave New World tour.
The had tops on in Seattle. They seemed to have lost them in Vancouver.

I saw Maiden on the Beast tour - but in Portsmouth (England). I do seem to recall her on stage that night.
 
The wicker girls during Iron Maiden were just random female fans from each city on the tour, I believe it was a similar thing like the Heaven Can Wait crowd.
 
The 'Charlotte' is mentioned in one of the band biographies I think, pretty sure it's in the Running Free one. I'll have to dig my copy out and have a look, I think she was a friend of the band called Chloe, could be wrong though!

I missed the Powerslave tour as I was living in northern B.C. when they swung through Canada. Do you remember how awful the acoustics were in that old barn of an arena?

I drove from Thunder Bay with friends. We stopped in Kenora to pick up a couple more. We were all really getting into Maiden and it was the perfect first show. Winnipeg and Minneapolis were the two closest cities to Thunder Bay for rock concerts. I saw Van Halen in Winnipeg that year too on a bus tour. Last tour with Roth for a long time.

I saw Pearl Jam in 2005 and the sound in the new arena is much better. It would have been nice to see Maiden there.
