Great gig recorded by Maiden touring on, for what is me, their best album.
This was the first video that Arry edited, so it cuts around a lot between different band members, though not as quickly as later filmed concerts!
The video itself starts with an interesting selection of still photographs. If you want to see Steve Harris in his pants, then this part is a must for you!!
In between the first 2 songs we have footage of icebergs & frozen seas & then before the track The Prisoner, there are some excerpts of the TV series itself. I thought that this was a nice touch, however it doesn't continue & these are the only 2 inserts in the concert footage. The gig itself is well played & well filmed. Sound seems good, though maybe the keyboards (when used) are too high in the mix,and Adrian Smith's guitar seems to get drowned out. The video sleeve notes that this was filmed over 2 gigs on consecutive days at the same venue, but if this video is a mixture of 2 nights footage I can't see where it changes! The bonus with this video, is of course the CD of the same concert that comes with it. However unlike Amazon states, it is the CD version that doesn't have Can I Play With Madness & Hallowed Be Thy Name, as CD's can't hold 85/90 minutes of music!
The video ends with another montage of still photos with Bruce talking to the crowd, this obviously must have happened just before the encores, but the encores themselves are NOT included on the video!! I don't know why,as that doesn't really make much sense, but there you go.
All in all an excellent video, but not available on DVD yet. However my money is on it being re-released along with a documentary about the 7th son album (Like they did recently with Live After Death.)
