Ø       1981.06.2x – Milwaukee.  Iron Maiden either scheduled to play or did play Milwaukee on 26 June.  This information came to me from a librarian at the Milwaukee Public Library.  She looked through June and July 1981 articles from Milwaukee newspapers, and she discovered that Milwaukee’s Summerfest, where Maiden played, was from 25 June through 5 July.  The Summerfest website claims that each year it is eleven days and from Thursday through two Sundays later.  These dates in the newspaper match this schematic.  She also told me, and I cannot quite remember, that the band either played 26 June or were scheduled to play 26 June.

Fan Club Magazines

Ø       Magazine ?, 1991. – Letter has that the band to play Bern on 5 September and Winterhur on 6 September.
Ø       Magazine 39 – Band to play Moscow on 2-4, 7 April 1993.

Ø       Magazine 40 - " After the spanish shows, there were a few days spent in Ostrava for
production rehearsals with the full european stage show and on April 5th,
the full tour got underway there. Originally, the band were supposed to go
to Russia for 3 dates but because of the political situation, large gatherings
were banned by the government and so the trip had to be postponed at the
last minute. Fortunately, the dates were able to be re-arranged but more
of that later."
" With the Uk tour over, it was back into Europe again and after a stopover
for a show in Neuchatel, Switzerland it was finally off to Russia to complete
the tour with the 3 shows that were cancelled back in April.
By now, the weather was a lot warmer than it would have been when the dates were originally scheduled and during their 4 day stay there, the band were given full hospitality by their Russian hosts. There was time for sightseeing and shopping and the media had a friend day. It turned out to be
a real eye-opener as none of the band and most of the crew had never been
there before. The 3 shows in the 45.000 seater olympic arena went well with
the final night being the best. Finally, on june 5th everyone arrived back at
Heathrow tired and looking for rest..."

Ø       1992.06.24 – East Troy.  Eric C. of Wisconsin says, “The reason why I KNOW it was the 24th is my mother’s B-day is on the 23rd, and she was in Janesville, WI visiting relatives and wanted to come back on the 24th, but my friends and I ditched her so we could make the show, and when I got back to pick her up on the 25th, she was ‘madder than a wet hen,’ and the result was she lost her job because of a no call/no show.  Needless to say, you don’t forget stories like this.  I think I still have a copy of my speeding ticket that day as well.” (17 Mar 06)
