Revisiting Iron Maiden’s Deflating ‘Somewhere on Tour’ Shows

On paper, Iron Maiden ’s Somewhere on Tour road trip of 1986 should have been something worth celebrating. But the band seems averse to kicking that particular gravestone too hard.

Which is a shame, because by all accounts it was a spectacular show in support of Maiden's well-received, if non-standard, sixth album,  Somewhere in Time .

The best official hint at the impressive stage show can be seen on the video for the LP's second single, “Stranger in a Strange Land." Near the end of the song a giant inflatable version of Maiden’s Eddie mascot in futuristic bounty-hunter form appears to take over the stage. Nicko McBrain’s drum kit is elevated to the ceiling as the head appears beneath him, while singer  Bruce Dickinson and bassist Steve Harris take their places on platforms at either side of the stage, standing in the palms of Eddie’s hands.

“This was the ‘Great Inflatable’ tour,” Dickinson told Classic Rock later. “Dave Lights was still doing our lighting stuff, and he was well into inflatables. He had a bit of an inflatable megalomania, in fact. He built inflatables that were so big they wouldn’t actually fit inside the sodding buildings! We had two big hydraulic hands, which would raise up – not Spinal Tap at all! – with big Eddie claw hands that would inflate.”

“Me and Bruce stood in the palms of the inflatable hands,” Harris added. “On one night, a lamp was too close and burnt a hole in it. Consequently it was like [ deflating noise ] – I felt a right plonker being up there like that. But not only that! The best thing about it, the next gig we did, they’d patched it up. They tied the fingers back so it came out with the middle finger up. … That was quite hilarious!”

Dickinson recalled “roadies frantically coming out and [pumping air] sort of like alien hand fluffers!” He noted that the head underneath McBrain’s kit “was great, except when the pressure started to go and it looked a bit like a saggy bin liner.” (As the massive and impressive airplane, devil and angel inflatables used on the 2018-19 Legacy of the Beast tour demonstrate, the band has since gotten a better grip on the technology.)

In the meantime, the singer had gotten used to abandoning the top part of an outfit that was supposed to look like his heart and arteries were throbbing with light outside his torso. “I mean, obviously I didn’t think it was Spinal Tap at the time,” he admitted. “The idea was that the whole suit would be covered in veins that would just be pulsing the whole time so, in the end, the way they got it to work was about 30 pounds of copper wire inside a big jacket and a six-volt lead acid battery stuck in there which ran out of juice about halfway through the song!”

It was probably less funny back then – maybe that’s one reason why none of the shows was ever recorded (manager Rod Smallwood also said it was too soon for another live project). But Maiden appeared to be quickly falling out of love with Somewhere in Time  by the time it arrived on Sept. 29, three weeks after the tour started. By the end of the eight-month, 151-show journey, only four songs from the new LP remained in the set – the fewest number of new songs ever to be performed on a Maiden tour supporting an album.

Another part of the problem was that they hadn’t resolved the issues that arose after their fifth LP,  Powerslave , and its massive success, which was followed by a twice-round-the-world tour and the  Live After Death  concert album. A burnt-out Dickinson came to the conclusion that the band had to change direction, so he brought a group of acoustic-based songs to the table that he felt represented their Led Zeppelin III . But Harris thought they were closer to  Jethro Tull and inappropriate for Maiden.

That left guitarist Adrian Smith to fill the gap, delivering a stack of songs that moved in a more commercial direction and even saw the introduction of guitar synths. The result was an album that sold 2 million copies in North America alone but left the band feeling as deflated as the Eddie prop. Blackie Lawless, whose band W.A.S.P. opened the first leg, later recalled  that "there were a lot of times we went on their bus. Both of us felt we had sort of put out tired records by tired bands.”

Even though they called their 2008 nostalgia tour Somewhere Back in Time , the band has continued to all but ignore the album, with only the lead single, the prophetically named “Wasted Years,” receiving much love. Dickinson and Harris mended fences over the idea of the follow-up concept album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son , and it was only after that the lineup began to falter. By the time they established a new paradigm at the turn of the century, perhaps those Dickinson songs would have become more palatable. Perhaps then Maiden should have done more than just patch up the inflatable.

“A live video would have complimented Somewhere on Tour perfectly, and would surely have sold well on the heels of Live After Death ,” Maiden Revelations argued. “In fact, based on bootleg recordings from 1986 (Paris, in particular), Bruce’s voice was significantly less strained than on the World Slavery Tour, as the entire band had learned several valuable lessons when it came to pacing themselves after the near-disastrous consequences of their previous tour.”

“As a project, the album attempted to carry the band into the future while flexing a budding songwriter in Smith and appeasing a stir-crazy Dickinson at the same time,” Invisible Oranges  said of Somewhere in Time . “It accomplished none of those things: Maiden abandoned this sound, Smith hasn’t written so much at once since and both he and Dickinson wound up leaving later. That Smith and Dickinson since returned to the fold doesn’t alter the album’s significance as a harbinger of the end -- not the end of Iron Maiden, but of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.”

Why Somewhere In Time is Iron Maiden’s most underrated 80s album

The singer wanted to make an acoustic record, the fans objected to the synths and the onstage inflatables wouldn’t inflate. What the hell was going on with Iron Maiden’s Somewhere In Time?

The success of the World Slavery tour, not to mention the subsequent release and chart-battering triumph of the classic Live After Death live album in 1985, meant that Iron Maiden were now in more demand than ever and that all eyes and ears were keenly primed to receive the band’s next creative outpouring. Given that several years of non-stop recording and touring had driven them – and Bruce in particular – to the brink of exhaustion, that kind of immense external pressure could easily have compelled a lesser band to take an extended hiatus or, at the very least, a brief pause. But Maiden were stopping for no one.

“That’s the beauty of having strong writers in the band,” says Steve. “If one’s drying up or one’s messed up or for whatever reason, you know, you’ve got other people who can come in and take over and it wasn’t a problem, really.”

“Most of the things that I had were, really, trying to completely turn Maiden, you know, upside down and on its head,” says Bruce. “I said, you know, we’ve done this big metal thing, should we go a bit more chill-out, maybe we should go a bit more acousticy? And everybody looked at me like I had two heads!”

“I just said, look, a lot of these songs, there’s some good ideas, but they’re just not really right for us,” states Steve. “It’s kinda very Jethro Tull-y kinda stuff, which I love, but it just wasn’t really right. I don’t know, it didn’t feel right at that time.”

After Bruce’s plans to take Maiden in a radical new direction were brusquely rejected by his band mates, the singer stepped temporarily aside, allowing other members of the band to take up the compositional slack. On this occasion, it was guitarist Adrian Smith who grasped the nettle, contributing three songs to the sixth Maiden album, Somewhere In Time , including its first single, the anthemic Wasted Years . With Steve conjuring up his usual flurry of epic songs, the new record was destined to be another grand and substantial statement.

“Adrian has never really been one for writing too many lyrics so the fact that he came in and wrote some lyrics himself… I think he just wanted to experiment himself with some stuff,” says Steve. “It worked out great, three really superb songs.”

Recorded both at Compass Point Studios in Nassau and at the legendary Wisseloord studio in Holland, Somewhere In Time did mark a slight departure for Maiden, in that it featured the use of the then distinctly groundbreaking guitar synthesizer, something that had seldom been a feature in metal prior to that point. Adrian Smith’s songs certainly brought a fresh vibe and an air of radio-friendly oomph to the album too, perfectly complementing Steve’s compositions like instant live favourite Heaven Can Wait and the grandiose Alexander The Great .

It may have been the most controversial Maiden album to date, but Somewhere In Time , with its magnificently inspired and detailed Derek Riggs artwork featuring Eddie in full-on cyborg mode, would go on to delight the diehard fanbase, ensuring that the band’s momentum was in no way diminished by a slight change in musical mood. Released in September 1986, Somewhere In Time was another great success for Maiden on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite having come close to collective collapse at the end of the World Slavery tour, there was no way that Steve Harris or Rod Smallwood were going to allow the band to take their foot off the gas, and so they immediately embarked on another colossal world tour to support the new album.

“ Somewhere In Time came off the back of the World Slavery Tour which was picked on by Bruce in particular for being long,” says Rod. “I mean, it was a long tour. Every album and tour, we would get a little bit bigger. It’s my job to make it as big as we can everywhere in the world. This idea of going round the world twice was probably, in retrospect, not the best idea I have ever had. So, this one [ Somewhere In Time tour] was only 157 shows.”

Kicking off with a 24-date UK run that concluded with six consecutive sold-out shows at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, the Somewhere In Time tour took Maiden to a new level of presentational audacity. The science fiction vibe of the album’s iconic cover art provided a perfect spring board for the band’s imagination to run riot, resulting in a stage show that was visually explosive and unapologetically extravagant, in keeping with Maiden’s now steel-plated reputation as the greatest live rock band on Earth. With hindsight, however, the tour also marked the point where the band’s penchant for the spectacular dragged them firmly into the realms of the ridiculous.

“This was the ‘Great Inflatable’ tour. Dave Lights was still doing our lighting stuff and he was well into inflatables,” Bruce remembers. “He had a bit of an inflatable megalomania, in fact. He built inflatables that were so big they wouldn’t actually fit inside the sodding buildings! We had two big hydraulic hands, which would raise up – not Spinal Tap at all! – with big Eddie claw hands that would inflate…”

“Me and Bruce stood in the palms of the inflatable hands,” says Steve. “On one night, a lamp was too close and burnt a hole in it. Consequently it was like [makes deflating noise] – I felt a right plonker being up there like that. But not only that! The best thing about it, the next gig we did, they’d patched it up. They tied the fingers back so it came out with the middle finger up… that was quite hilarious!”

“All of a sudden there’d be roadies frantically coming out and going [imitates pumping] sort of like alien hand fluffers!” Bruce laughs. “We had the rising drumkit so that came up on hydraulic jacks taking Nicko to stratospheric heights, and of course the Eddie head that inflated underneath. It was great except when the pressure started to go and it looked a bit like a saggy bin liner. Ha ha ha!”

Never a man to hold back from injecting some theatrical flair into Maiden performances, Bruce was in his element during the _Somewhere O_ n Tour , arriving onstage adorned with some of the most bizarre and elaborate costumes imaginable. Maiden chose not to have any of the gigs on the tour professionally filmed, but despite that unfortunate oversight it’s safe to say that anyone who saw the band at that time will have the image of Bruce’s stage gear, not to mention his bandmates’ increasingly flamboyant variations on a Spandex theme, permanently etched onto their memory.

“What were we thinking? Ha ha ha! That was the era where it was big, loud costumes and loud production and a loud band,” says Dave Murray. “Everything was really loud. You had to wear sunglasses quite a lot because of the sheer volume… there was a lot of volume coming just from the clothing.”

“I mean, obviously I didn’t think it was Spinal Tap at the time but you know it is a pretty odd garment that I’m wearing out there!” Bruce confesses. “‘Right, what I want to do is I want the top half to be a bit Errol Flynn, you see, and the bottom half I want to look like they’re trousers that would be worn by some sort of space hunter in the Forbidden Zone type of guy who’s come along and shot lots of alien-looking toads and made trousers out of them!’ Then we had the issue of the very kitsch beating heart with what were supposed to be rope lights. The idea was that the whole suit would be covered in veins that would just be pulsing the whole time so, in the end, the way they got it to work was about 30 pounds of copper wire inside a big jacket and a six-volt lead acid battery stuck in there which ran out of juice about halfway through the song!”

Malfunctioning inflatables and ludicrous clobber aside, the Somewhere In Time tour was another unequivocal triumph for Maiden. Not only were they now enjoying unprecedented levels of popularity in both Europe and America, but even the Far East had succumbed to their charms – a phenomenon that led to the band headlining at Japan’s legendary Budokan venue for the first time.

“It was a big deal to play the Budokan,” says Rod. “It was the first time we’d played it. Budokan is a hugely famous Japanese martial arts centre. It’s sort of an honour to play there, and it’s really nice in Japan to reach the stage where you can.”

“I found it strangely disappointing actually,” notes Bruce. “I always visualised it as being [raises voice] The Budokan, and it’s just a gym! But we got to the end of that tour and I thought, ‘Oh, that wasn’t too bad!’, had a little think about things, and then I was chatting to Steve and he said ‘Concept album. Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son !’ and that was it. I was off to the races then, I was like ‘Brilliant!’”

Iron Maiden Book 2023 Tour, Will Focus on ‘Senjutsu’ + ‘Somewhere in Time’ Albums + Other Hits

After several legs of the Legacy of the Beast tour, Iron Maiden will move forward with a brand new production and setlist in 2023. They just announced a series of European dates of The Future Past tour, which will places special focus on last year's  Senjutsu album as well as 1986's  Somewhere in Time , among other hits.

“Following the release of our latest album, Senjutsu , we updated the current Legacy of the Beast Tour a little by opening the show with the first three songs from it, with the Japanese Palace stage set," begins bassist Steve Harris in a press statement.

"As it doesn’t make a lot of sense to repeat this for a Senjutsu album tour, we thought about other options," he continues, "and we’ve decided to revisit Somewhere In Time as that tour didn’t feature in the various retrospective history tours we’ve played over the years. They were based on our '80s concert videos and sadly we did not film that tour (blame the manager!!). We have had lots of requests from fans over the years for many tracks on it so we are now going to play them, plus of course a few others we know you will like!"

Harris goes on, "It will also be particularly satisfying to finally get to play some of the more epic tracks on Senjutsu , it's been a long wait! 2023 is going to be an exciting time and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone again in the U.K., Ireland and around Europe."

"This combination of the two albums we feel is very exciting," adds longtime manager Rod Smallwood, "We know fans want to hear those epic cuts on Senjutsu for the first time live and we think that by combining it with an iconic album like Somewhere In Time it will make for another really special tour for fans old and new! Of course, for a new album tour in Europe and the U.K. we will go back largely to the relative intimacy of arenas and we know fans will be very happy about that too!"

The new announcement features 12 European stops (June 13 through July 15) with more dates coming at a later time. Tickets go on sale on Oct. 14 at 9AM at this location and a pre-sale will be available for Iron Maiden fan club members.

Iron Maiden's current North American leg of their Legacy of the Beast tour will wrap up on Oct. 27 in Tampa, Florida. After beginning in 2018 and by the time it concludes, this run will have spanned 139 shows in 33 countries with over three million tickets sold. Get tickets to the remaining stops here .

Iron Maiden to Revisit Somewhere in Time on 2023 “Future Past Tour”

The post Iron Maiden to Revisit Somewhere in Time on 2023 “Future Past Tour” appeared first on Consequence .

Iron Maiden have announced the “Future Past” 2023 UK/European tour. The outing will focus on 1986’s Somewhere in Time and as-yet-unperformed songs from 2021’s Senjutsu .

As of now, the tour kicks off June 13th in Krakow, Poland, and runs through a July 15th appearance at the Return of the Gods Festival in Milan, Italy. However, more shows are expected to be added to the itinerary.

Ticket pre-sales begin October 11th at 4 a.m. ET (9 a.m. in the UK). General on-sale begins on October 14th at 4 a.m. ET (9 a.m. in the UK). Pick up tickets for the UK shows via Ticketmaster UK , and see individual links for select European gigs in the list of dates below.

“Following the release of our latest album, Senjutsu , we updated the current Legacy of the Beast Tour a little by opening the show with the first three songs from it, with the Japanese Palace stage set,” commented Steve Harris on the updated set. “As it doesn’t make a lot of sense to repeat this for a Senjutsu album tour, we thought about other options and we’ve decided to revisit Somewhere in Time as that tour didn’t feature in the various retrospective history tours we’ve played over the years.”

Harris goes onto explain that the original Somewhere in Time tour was not filmed (“Blame the manager!!), a rarity for a lore-driven band like Maiden. The band has since had many requests to play songs from the album and will deliver those on the upcoming “Future Past” run.

“It will also be particularly satisfying to finally get to play some of the more epic tracks on Senjutsu , it’s been a long wait!” Harris concluded. “2023 is going to be an exciting time and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone again in the UK, Ireland, and around Europe”.

Es un hecho. La banda británica de heavy metal finalmente sumó a Buenos Aires a su gira mundial “The Future Past World Tour”, que comenzó en mayo de 2023 en Eslovenia y continuará durante este año. Su última vez en la Argentina fue en 2019, en Vélez, como parte del “Legacy of the Beast Tour”.
