The concert was the last to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson until his return to the band in 1999.[1][2] The band played on stage in conjunction with horror magician Simon Drake, who ended up "killing" Dickinson in an iron maiden torture device, "amputated" Dave Murray's hands on a table saw and "killed" members of the crew and audience.[3]
