Still, there are some regions which you did not make mention of. Too many people think of AZ as entirely desert, but this could not not be further from the truth. I live here, and have been to all of the cities I have listed and feel that at a minimum Globe/Miami, Williams, Winslow/Holbrook, and Show Low/Pinetop would've been able to survive.

Also, I doubt that Scottsdale would've been hit by a nuclear missile. In 1980, the city had under 90,000 inhabitants, far from the largest city (compared to over 220,000 today!) in the state. Although, I do not know the Soviet nuclear plans, I feel that Mesa or another suburb would've been hit.

In 1980: Mesa (150,000), Glendale (100,000)

And Bfox said that he thinks Iron Maiden would've used a tour bus, but if you are sure on this one, I will respect your judgement.
