I have a couple Metallica DVDs. This blows them away. The 'rockumentary' was brilliant! Loved every minute and really got to know the band. I was a huge fan, when I was younger, and this renewed my interest.
The actual concert footage was phenomenal!
I can't rate this high enough. Well worth the price.

I rate this blu-ray 6 stars. Top quality video and top quality audio. Excellent editing. Less then half the price of a concert ticket and one I will watch 100 times. One of the best concert blu-rays out there PERIOD. A must have in any collection.

This is a truly fantastic documentary of the heavy metal gods that are Iron Maiden. My parents, in there 50s, were not big fans of Iron Maiden going into the movie, probably because of what they associate with a heavy metal band. When it was over, they both said that they have much more respect for the band, and seem like minor fans now (my dad will even wear the Iron Maiden biker shirt I got him). They discovered that Iron Maiden are a bunch of very talented musicians who simply love performing for their loyal fans. Between shows they will play tennis, soccer, or golf...they only hit up the pub occasionally. They are not in a drunken state that many rockstars might be portrayed as. They are real people, which you get to see in this movie. They also sound great at the concerts on this particular tour. In fact, Bruce Dickinson sounded evern better than he does on this film when I saw them on their 2010 Final Frontier World Tour, and the guitarists couldn't be better, proving they have many years left in them. UP THE IRONS!!!

If you are watching this on Blu-Ray the picture and sound are amazing. The concept of playing nothing but classic songs, basically "Live After Death" with a few songs from later albums, and each recorded in a different country/venue is a solid endeavor. I would have skipped "Moonchild" for something like "Running Free", but overall a strong song list. Maiden finally delivers what fans want to hear - the old stuff. The documentary is very well done and the whole DVD is exciting to watch from start to finish. The actual "concert" itself is fantastic, but the unbearable part is Janick Gers with his absurd guitar swinging, playing from his hip, and butchering some songs particularly Adrian Smith's solos. I don't know why he is playing some of Adrian's solos - Adrian wrote them, and his erratic style of play does not do Adrian's precise structure any justice. Adrian Smith's role has been sadly reduced since he rejoined the band, and Janick should be lucky to still be with the band - who really needs three guitarists anyway? Despite Janick's buffoonery, this DVD is one of the best things Iron Maiden has put out in 20 years.

you get chills watching this! It is just soo cool. I've loved these guys for years, but I've got more respect (and awe) for them as a band and as individuals after watching this flick. Their songs are still just awesome. Amazing!! I love Bruce's voice, the guitars and drums... everything! This is a must have for any Maiden fan, PERIOD (i watched it twice from netflicks, but I still had to buy it!)
