Editorial Review:
A souvenir from the 2001 Rock in Rio festival, this set proves that Iron Maiden not only are among the elite heavy-metal purveyors of all time but can still shred onstage with the best of them. The British sextet holds its audience of a quarter-million in thrall for two hours, opening with a pummeling "Wicker Man" and wending its way through nearly three decades of hard-rocking tales of the mythic and supernatural: "The Mercenary," "The Trooper," "The Evil That Men Do," "The Number of the Beast," and ending with the ubiquitous "Run for the Hills." Concert footage was edited by bassist Steve Harris; obviously attuned to his band's rhythms, he ensures the visuals are as in-your-face as the music. A second disc spends 50 minutes showing band members doing non-rock & roll things offstage, like vocalist Bruce Dickinson's predilection for fencing and flying planes. A short "Day in the Life" featurette, brief group interviews, and the band's photographer Ross Halfin's photo diary round out the bonus disc. --Kevin Filipski
Iron Maiden - Rock In Rio (2DVD) Reviews:
Just Maiden! 
2009-11-04 - Of any Iron Maiden Show on DVD, this is one of my favorites and the 2nd DVD is very nice showing "backstage" and off the record footage of band members. Nice picture quality and superb sound. I met them on 2008 in a plane flown by Bruce on his flight 666 to Warsaw and Prague and they are just as you see in this DVD.
Musically always good 
2009-10-06 - Iron Maiden always seem to deliver live, that does happen in this dvd. The only negative aspect would have to be the production, with regards to the ever changing camera angles, at times it can get annoying, as has been pointed out in other reviews. However, I found it reasonably watchable with only the odd occassion that got on my nerves. Musically Iron Maiden is sounding as good, if not better than earlier efforts. If you are wanting a full greatest hits package the Live After Death and Flight 666 dvds are excellent additions. Rock In Rio is a good dvd that first introduced the current lineup. Its good to see these legends still going strong after all these years.
Fantastic
2009-07-10 - a perfect show... hours of Maiden's best performance to date I can easily say... a must have.. Maiden rules
Watch at your own risk! 
2009-06-15 - I love this band to death, BUT this is just unwatchable. Seems like the Editing wand broke on Steve. And it's really a shame because it could have been up there with LAD. On this concert we hear Bruce singing songs from the Blaze era from FOD and some old material too. It would have been great to sit back and enjoy, but I'm afraid you have to watch this at your own risk of a possible seizure or a blinding headache. Sad really :(
Oh....and the same applies to DOTR dvd.
5 stars for the show
2009-06-13 - yes 5 stars for the show and the band .this is a tremendous show. some others have complain about the set list, but that's maiden.when promoting a new cd,they play half of it. that's what makes them one of the best bands in the world. they haven't been playing the same set list for 20 years. they promote the new material and in between they will do something like the somewhere back in time tour. the best of both- i would not take off for the fast editing,but it could have been edited better
