Summary: Rock in Rio; Edit un Real
Review: I saw Maiden in 2000 on this Brave New World Tour. They were phenomenal! This DVD is my personal souvenir from that tour. The band kill on this DVD. The video quality and audio is first rate. The extras are decent but not impressive. My only gripe is the editing of this concert. If you don't take your eyes off of it, you'll feel nauseous after awhile. It is so choppy, and Steve Harris didn't leave one camera still for longer than 5 seconds!!! It's way to much and too choppy. Other than that, no other complaints.

Summary: The wife is a keeper.
Review: My wife had only heard of "Run to the Hills" before this DVD. Not only did I get her to watch this DVD, but we went to the last tour in our area and now she is convinced. Several people didn't like this DVD, but I think it is great. I'm about to buy my second copy. The first is almost worn out. I hope Maiden keeps it coming.

Summary: The worst edition I have ever seen!!
Review: The worst thing that could happen for Iron Maiden was when its founder, its boss, the marvellous bass player and songwriter called Steve Harris decided to edit this DVD. I don't understand it.

Theoretically trying to "capture" the famous Maiden energy and vibe on stage, he opted for using a ultra-fast edition that will make your head spin, without paying any attention for who is soloing at the moment, if Nicko is at the middle of a great drums flourish, etc. All of the takes last, in their majority, less than one second and a half. The result was that you simply have no pleasure watching this MTV-styled DVD, thanks to its terrible edition.

Well, that's my opinion. Of course, the "UP THE IRONS" guys will love anything this deservedly great band release.

Summary: The one and only amazing Iron Maiden
Review: I think rock in rio is one or the best concert i have ever seen, I just have to say that three guitars is just amazing, and bruce voice is just great. The quality sound is awsome, but I have a problem with THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, with the drums, the snare sounds kind of strange so if this happends with all your DVDs please e-mail at [e-mail] and let me know if it's a problem in all the DVDs or just mine. Thank you

Summary: Bruce's voice lost in 5.1DD bitstream
Review: This DVD is visually great, fast cuts from many camera angles and a general sense of the size of the show. The problem with this DVD is in the audio mix. I run typical 5.1DD in bitstream through a fiber optic cable. In doing so, I have Janick's guitar coming full-blast through the center channel (see other reviews on that issue)and Bruce's voice, in fine form, is banished to a half-volume hell somewhere between the front speakers with the crowd screaming through the rear speakers. The crowd often drowns out Bruce entirely. There is a solution, however. Switching from bitstream to PCM downgrades the surround sound to Dolby Pro-Logic (limiting my amount of adjustable variables, delay etc.) and puts Bruce back to proper level in the center channel. An otherwise classic live performance, albatross withstanding.

Summary: EL MEJOR CONCIERTO QUE HE VISTO DE MAIDEN!!!
Review: No cabe duda que Maiden es Maiden. Una producción que vale la pena coleccionar, el audio, la escenografía, la multitud es impresionante, se los recomiendo independientemente del gusto musical, ya que fue un show sin presedentes, claro sin dejar abajo a Live After Dead que ya es un clásico. Dijera Steve Harris, sin duda es el mejor show... y sí, compruebenlo ustedes mismos.
De poca madre!!!

Summary: To buy or not to buy....
Review: Maiden is the greatest. The live audio from ROCK IN RIO is great. But I don't know if I want to buy this DVD because of the video editing reviews.

Personally, I think LIVE AFTER DEATH must be similar - it switches cameras a lot, but .... is very watchable...Bruce struggles with his voice a little during the show.

Summary: De lo mejorcito
Review: Nunca habia visto un concierto de Iron Maiden, y este dvd me ha dado una idea sorprendente de lo que son en directo. Una gran calidad, un buen montaje, y sobre todo un sonido que es como si lo estuvieras viviendo en el mismisimo Rio.

Summary: great concert,bad editing
Review: This is a good dvd of a great concert. The set list is fantastic. A good representation of old and new Maiden. Bruce Dickinson has more energy than any other frontman I've seen.The sound quality was very good on my system, however, the video editing [stunk] bigtime! I can't believe a guitar player edited the video for this dvd. The camera was never on the lead guitarist during leads. They must have used 1000 cameras to film this video because they changed to a different camera every second for the whole concert. It was annoying. I've been a big Maiden fan since the first album and have seen them live many times. I wish the video was as good as the music.

Summary: power to the people
Review: a staggeringly enjoyable display of metal marvel worthy of the highest praise. Is everything that this genre aspires to...and so much more.

We are talking major adrenaline rushes here.

WOW!
