Running at approximately 105 minutes Iron Maiden chose a
well-balanced set list that consists of some of the band's biggest hits. One of
the many things that catch your eye when the stage lights come on is the massive
stage set. Not since the early eighties have I seen a stage set this massive.
There is one thing for sure when you go to a Maiden show you are going to get
your money’s worth. This is one reason they sell out every night the band
plays. From the opening chord of “Wildest Dreams” there is a huge wall of
guitar sound due to the fact Iron Maiden now consists of three guitarists. Even
at Iron Maiden’s age they take command of the stage giving the fans one-hindered
and fifteen percent! The way they mixed the 5.1 gives you the feeling you are
right on stage with the band. One thing I was surprised to see Jannick using
chords instead of going wireless. This added a certain degree of difficulty to
Bruce’s stage performance. Adrian and Dave have always shared lead guitar duty
and now with the addition of Jannick on lead guitar it gives the older eighties
songs a heavier sound. Bruce does “Dance Of Death” as if he was at
masquerade ball. This adds to the band’s stage performance. During the song,
“Iron Maiden” there is a huge Eddie that rises up behind Nicko’s drum kit.
During the encore, a second Eddie comes out. This one is mobile. The
"Death On The Road" documentary contains interviews with the band and producers
as they breakdown some of the tracks on 'Dance Of Death". The documentary
"Life On The Road" gives you a first hand look on how a tour is run from the
people that run it. This is by far one of the best, if not the best
concert DVD’s ever released!
