Iron Maiden Tour Maps

Brought to you by the Iron Maiden Archive...

It's been in conception for a time spanning 3 years, but the new Maiden Archive project has arrived...
It's content has been a 'tight-kept' secret up until now, but the new project is revealed, and it concerns Maiden's touring history. The 'Tour Maps' as they will be called is a cross between Maiden's entire tour history and Google Earth. A unique idea, it allows users to see from the air almost every venue Maiden have ever played. During the course of making the maps, I have also compiled, helped by various sites including Darthrya's 'Master List' as accurate a list of tour dates and venues than are available on any Maiden fan site.
Of course, I haven't been able to find every venue, but I have been able to trace over 95% of them. Some of this information was extracted from the internet at painful lengths (it has been known for me to spend up to an hour to find a particular obscure venue).
The maps have compromised over 2 years work, at roughly an hour and a half a day, although sometimes up to five or six. This has taken, as you can imagine, a huge amount of time on my part, totalling hundreds of hours. I can safely say that if I had known at the start how long it would have taken, I would never have done it, but now I have, I hope it can be of use to the Maiden community. I hereby dedicate the project not only to the best band in the world, but also to the most dedicated, loyal fans of any band, and I hope that the maps will bring back happy 'Maiden memories' for fans as well as a lot of fascinating time for people to look at the maps out of interest. They may even be useful! Please, I want all the coverage I can get for this massive project- any fan sites you can link it to when it finally comes out, or any forum I can advertise on, I need to know about!

Now go and enjoy them!
