The History Of Iron Maiden - Pt. 1: The Early Days (2DVD) Reviews:
Where's Part 2 ??? 
2009-12-05 - Where's Part 2 ???
This DVD package is too good not to have a part 2.
I hope the band is planning to continue with a part 2...
Fantastic DVD
2009-08-26 - This is a great documentary. I've been a Maiden fan since the first album, but I lost interest after Seventh Son. This DVD has definitely renewed my interest. The look behind the scenes with Steve Harris and the insight into the lineup changes are really informative; I had no idea that Maiden had probably fifteen different members prior to the first album's release. The highlight for me is the Live at the Rainbow show. I remember watching this concert on MTV (when they played videos) back when I was about 11 years old; it blew me away then, and it was neat to be reminded how good and tight they were, even at this early stage in their career. I recommend this DVD 100%.
Well done in depth biography of the band
2009-06-04 - Iron Maiden demonstrate respect and a sense of integrity for their fans by leaving no stone unturned in this documentary. The additional early live footage is a nice bonus.
I didn't realize just how many people make up the history of Iron Maiden or just how hard they've worked and continue to work to live their dream. The in depth and honest interviews really let the fan look into the band and Steve Harris's vision. The only person I missed from this dvd, and this was beyond Iron Maiden's control, was Derek Riggs. His art work for the band has always been beautiful and unique. No one else can reproduce what he does. I wish he would've been willing to discuss his part of their history. They do include an old interview with him but I guess his feathers are still ruffled over whatever. Anyway, this dvd is awesome and I recommend it to any fan.
The Live after death dvd continues where this dvd leaves off, and I recommend that too. in the mean time I am anxiously anticipating the next few parts of their story to be released soon. Up the Irons!
Iron Maiden bleepin' rock
2009-01-21 - This dvd is a pure dream for old school Maiden fans like me. The old concert footage has been restored as well as possible. Some of it almost looks high def. Disc 1 has the three concerts from the three different tours (Killers, TNOTB, Piece of Mind). Disc 2 has an awesome documentary. And disc 2 is also full of dvd easter eggs. There are some very full clips!
Thank GOD for Iron Maiden. Best band. Ever.
Great archive of Iron Maiden's best years
2008-12-25 - I read online how good this was. When I found it in my local mom 'n' pop CD shop here in Singapore, my curiosity got the better of me and I bought it. Five hours of early Maiden, great great great. I watched snatches of it late into Monday night and it was fascinating.
Iron Maiden's two main guitarists, Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, are magicians and really awesome to watch. When I was a kid, I loved listening to this stuff; as an adult, I have to admit that I still love listening to this stuff, but now I love watching it just as much! I'd never seen the band play. Dave Murray always plays a black Fender Stratocaster just like the one I have, and Adrian Smith sometimes also plays a Les Paul like I have (although he's probably playing a top notch version, while mine is an el-cheapo Epiphone Les Paul Studio). Paul DiAnno is an awesome frontman, and I love his voice, although the studded wristlets are a bit much.
In the video you also see how the young Bruce Dickenson, while a very intelligent person with a great voice, is a bit of a cheezy showman, and his outfits are also quite corny - especially the red tights (Steve Murray also seems to favour tights). Well, they make great music, forgive them their fashion faux pas.
The documentary on the second disc is really good fun, although it basically looks like Steve Murray's only strategy was to get a dozen ex-Iron Maiden members down to the pub one afternoon, buy them beer, and let them wander down memory lane for the cameras one after the other while the others hung about playing darts and eating crisps. That's interspliced with pics and live clips to put it in context, but it only backs up the impression that it's impossible to think of Iron Maiden without thinking about - love him or hate him - Steve Harris. Sure, why not, he started the band, and has been the only one who has been with it throughout, and he seems to write most of the songs as well.
