First I was shocked about the price of the DVD, but as a really Iron Maiden fan it was a must. And after watching it several times - stuck in my player for days - I have to confess, it's worth it!!!
Disc one has the Rock in Rio show of the British (set list at the end of the review) and it documents the incredible atmosphere of the Brazilian show. 200,000 fans were there to watch Iron Maiden and if you have - like I do - a Dolby DTS system, then you are part of the show! The well-experienced band carefully chose the songs and makes clear why they are one of the best bands of the genre. After all those years they still sound fresh and obviously have a lot of fun on stage.
The 2nd DVD the band used for some background information as well as interviews, off stage footage (e.g. from a signing session) and a photo diary of the tour. The introduction of the band members is mainly for metal fans who just started listening to them, coz long-time fans know the band well enough. With a click on the band member and a nicely animated menu you can get more information about the chosen member. No news to fans is that mainman Steve Harris is a huge fan of soccer. He is a quite decent player and shows his abilities and he's talking about his second passion. A look at the private life of Adrian Smith shows him fishing. He talks about the joy of fishing, but he looks like a beginner. Anyway, guitarist Dave Murray tells some stories while you can watch him and drummer Nicko McBrain golfing. Pretty nice. In-between some live sequences. The section about Nicko McBrain is identical, they did this together and it would have been cool to see some more of their non-musical life. Singer Bruce Dickinson is presenting his favorite sport and the fencing-master gives some in-depth look on his sportive activities. Does Janick Geers has no hobby? Or doesn't he want to share this with the fans? No idea, but so you can watch him opening a coconut and giving instructions 'how to do' and how to drink from a coconut. Well, this part isn't very interesting and more a joke then some really information.
At least I can recommend this to every heavy metal fan and it's a must-buy for fans of the British! Lots of live footage and a look at their private life. Well done!!!!
