Added Thursday, September 08, 2005 Last Fridays final show at Hammersmith Apollo was a memorable night. With the help of many of you we raised at least £110,000 for the Clive Burr MS Trust and we will post the final number when the accounts are finalized. The band were on top form as was Clive who joined them on stage at the end of Iron Maiden. And you the audience were of course magnificent so thanks to you all! Some reviews are being posted to the Tours/Reviews section of this website.
We would also like to thank our Killer Krew, the suppliers who helped keep costs down, Hammersmith Apollo venue and box office and especially Stuart Galbraith and Andy Copping and all the Clear Channel gang in the UK who not only promoted the gig for nothing but also gave us quite a party afterwards!! Plus our merchandisers Bravado and our Agent John Jackson at K2 who also provided their services for free.
As we were playing songs only from the first four albums on this tour it was particularly appropriate to finish at Hammersmith where we played many times during the tours for these albums and in fact we played there 21 times in the eighties!!! It brought back a lot of great memories to the band and of course Clive.
We all really enjoyed this Summer's Tour so thanks for turning out and making so many of the gigs so memorable. The band are taking a bit of time off before regrouping in January to start writing then recording a new studio album so hopefully we may see many of you again on tour in late 2006/early 2007.
Until then take care of yourselves and ..... YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
