It's become hip in recent years for a group to revisit its greatest hits by performing a fan-favorite album in its entirety, from start to finish. But that's simply not good enough for Maiden fans, some of the most rabid in the entire metal universe. So rather than playing, say, their 1982 album The Number of the Beast, this "Maiden England World Tour" will see the British metal legends actually re-create the 1988 concert video Maiden England, which was shot on the tour for the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album. That means not only playing mostly the same set list (although some newer songs will be added), but also, as much as possible, recapturing the look and feel of the original video.
