Again, I disagree. To perform Nostra properly in the manner it was presented would be a MAJOR project. Operatic complete with change of scenes, wardrobe, perhaps interludes, etc. A MAJOR expense. Were I in the band's management, I'd have put it on the shelf as well. Figure out the venues, put out the proper announcements (something they have failed to do especially with the Florida tapiing), etc.
Sure, I'd love something new but the BS tour was a KILLER! I bought three sets of tix and drove hundreds of miles to see them. I would have done the same to catch Nostra just once.

I do not think it was for lack of options or "flogging" as you put it. I think they just wanted to put on a good show. Nothing more, nothing less.
IMO, they achieved it. It was a killer.

What are you disagreeing with, that they're flogging British Steel because there's nothing new to promote or a Nostradamus tour would have been a failure?
Of course AMOLAD tour was a snorefest, the albums a shocker, really bad. I never saw them on the tour but if I was in the crowd and they spent 75 minutes of two hour show playing that I'd be pretty pissed off. I cant believe with their back catalogue of good songs they would even think of playing that in it's entirety. It's delusional.
If and when Maiden do their 30th anniversary Number Of The Beast Tour I will bag that as well if they milk it for as long as Priest have milked British Steel. And I'm sure they will by the way. Especially if Final Frontier is as crap as it looks like it's going to be.

Oh, I completely disagree. Granted, Nostra would have had a limited audience and I don't think they could have pulled off a full tour but a few choice locations and I (and many) would have taken a plane to get there. What do you have to say about that snorefest that was the penultimate Maiden tour? It SUCKED!! Bruce himself even commented in many an interview how off-put he was at the poor reception of AMOLAD. What do they do? Follow up with a nostalgia tour with Somewhere in Time. Try to call back their fan-base. IMO, a way to excuse themselves from a sad album and sad tour.
Priest with BS just knocked them off the shelf even if Halford doesn't know how to fly a plane.

BRING ON A NEW HARD CORE JUDAS PRIEST HEAVY MEEETTT TTTAAALLL MONSTER

Oh, come on Hellrider! Of course they're keeping the metal alive!!! Otherwise they wouldn't have celebrated British Steel's 30th anniversary and toured the US and Canada, much less play it in its entirety. They could've easily done the same with all of Nostra. But did they? No!! They are keeping the faith by recognizing that creating Heavy Metal is what propelled them to fame in the first place. Besides, they still have many more years ahead of them and they'll create a Heavy Metal masterpiece that will surely RIP OUR FACES OFF!!!!!

It now appears that the tour was the set up to sell you the album again, with a live show included....

Oh, I completely disagree. Granted, Nostra would have had a limited audience and I don't think they could have pulled off a full tour but a few choice locations and I (and many) would have taken a plane to get there. What do you have to say about that snorefest that was the penultimate Maiden tour? It SUCKED!! Bruce himself even commented in many an interview how off-put he was at the poor reception of AMOLAD. What do they do? Follow up with a nostalgia tour with Somewhere in Time. Try to call back their fan-base. IMO, a way to excuse themselves from a sad album and sad tour.
Priest with BS just knocked them off the shelf even if Halford doesn't know how to fly a plane.
