    What I particularly admired about that tour was that Iron Maiden intentionally planned the tour to include several places where the indigenous population would never have the opportunity to hear the band. There’s a fascinating documentary about that tour. (The behaviour of the local police towards fans was absolutely shocking! A bunch of uniformed thugs.)
    Do you mean 'Flight 666 - The Film'? I agree, its a great documentary.
    "I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

      I’d forgotten the name. Must watch it again.

        land I wasn’t aware of a Jiri Mahler cycle. I shall investigate
        edit- nothing on Apple Music-was the cycle recorded?
        Apologies, Richard, for not replying - thanks to Alison for catching that one for me!

          No, performed and broadcast. The orchestra’s playing improved greatly during Jiri’s reign and in evidence throughout the series.

          Absolutely this. He has never been sufficiently credited more widely for the improvement in the band's playing during his tenure (I was going to say reign, but I don't think JB himself would have used the word).
