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 FilipskiFrom the Back CoverRock in Rio Festival 2001--Iron Maiden headlines one of the biggest shows on Earth to a massive sell-out 250000 crowd and a global TV audience of millions. The explosive two-hour set shot using 18 cameras and edited by Steve Harris is Maiden at its best performing their biggest show ever on the final date of their Brave New World tour. This double DVD captures the band's energy and massive stage production with both Dolby Digital 5.1 and full-rate DTS Surround tracks to take you to the front row. In-depth personal interviews with each band member and a documentary showing "A Day in the Life" of what it's like to be a part of Iron Maiden makes this their first ever DVD release the best record to date of one of the world's premiere rock bands. 125 minutes plus 50 minutes of bonus features.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 0746454

Iron Maiden - Rock In Rio (2DVD) Reviews:
Friggin' awesome 
2008-07-20 - While I have never been the hugest Maiden fan (like listening to them, but never I guess totally appreciated them), this is making me more of a Maiden fan. They rock on this. I'm already feeling like I'm back in H.S. LOL This is a good performance from the boys, and the second disc isn't too bad either. Put this on and rock out!
ooops
2008-03-31 - hello , this is just to amazon review people. you list the band members,
but how can u leave out MR. NICKO McBRAIN on drums everybody. shame,shame
Maiden made in HELL
2008-03-16 - I'm old, and I used to force people to sit down and listen to IRON MAIDEN in 1980 under the threat of bodily injury, ALL the Maiden offers still makes me bang my head. The Maiden is an absolute GOOD; I just wish Bruce didn't cut his hair so short: "oh well, what ever, where ever you are", Iron Maiden still has it, no matter how far.
Scream for me Brazil! Short and sweet review.
2007-12-13 - Maiden's Rock in Rio is a fantastic DVD concert. It depicts them on the last date of their Brave New World tour in front of 250, 000 people at Rio de Janiero's "Rock in Rio" festival. Great set list, and Bruce's energy shows the band's enthusiasm.
The audio is amazing, if you have it wired correctly you can hear the Guitars and bass from the left and right speakers, Bruce's voice from the subwoofer, and the drums from the back speaker. The audio DOES rise and fall in a few quick places, but that doesn't distract you from the awesome-liciousness of the film. Yes, the editing was fast but I didn't mind it, and after 12 minutes I barely noticed it anymore, at least not when compared to the AWFUL editing of Death on the Road where you can hardly keep up.
Some fun facts about Maiden in Rio:
-Bruce went fencing in Rio
-Adrian went fishing in Rio
-The band had began their set at 12:02 AM
-This was Maiden's final tour date for the BNW tour
-The band had some...fun backstage, as seen on the "Day In The Life" feature on the second disc
That said, great DVD! Up the Irons!!!!!!
Awesome!
2007-11-06 - If you even remotely like Iron Maiden, you have to own this. I've had it for a few weeks now and I cannot stop watching it. This is Maiden at their best, in front of 250,000 hard-core fans. Buy it; you will not be disappointed.
