Somewhere Back in Time Tour DVD Confirmed!

After speculation that a concert DVD like Live After Death or Rock in Rio was going to be produced featuring Iron Maiden's 2008 World Tour, we today got confirmation that at least some of the material will be used in an upcoming video release as Kevin 'Caveman' Shirley confirmed that he was currently in the studio mixing live and studio tracks from the band to be included in the release.

Right now it looks like what will be produced is not a concert recording, but instead a documentary following the band on tour as they go on their travels (especially as the infamous Ed Force One jet flies fans around different locations, piloted by Bruce Dickinson) and backstage, and although it will obviously include live material, it is not yet known whether it will include a full live set or a number of different clips of concert tracks put together.

Somewhere Back in Time Western Canada Dates Sell Out

The Iron Maiden shows in Western Canada have now sold out every available ticket in each market in just four days. The band encourages any non-ticket holders to check back in a couple weeks and just before the show as production releases may become available when the stage has been set in each arena, check with your local box office or their official site (ironmaiden.com) for further updates. Even if some tickets may have to be stamped with a slightly restricted side view, fans will still be able to experience the incredible communal atmosphere of a Maiden concert.
