Iron Maiden: Rock in Rio (2002)

Live concert filmed during the Brave New World tour. It starts with the new material, but goes on to feature at least one song from almost every Maiden album (except Somewhere in Time and No Prayer for the Dying).
Maiden have been doing this for years and they are tighter than a gnats anus. Sound quality is better than excellent.
Editing was by Steve Harris who is obviously enthusiastic but remains a hell of a better bassist than he is an editor; a better editor would have brought the score to maximum. If you’re a fan of the band, it’s essential. A second disc gives some throwaway extras.
