Guide Review - "Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio" DVDs
I was thoroughly entertained by the "Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio" two-disc DVD set. The first disc is devoted to Iron Maiden's concert performance filmed live at the 2001 festival. The second disc is devoted to special features, which include interviews with the band. The excellent sound quality combined with the expert camera work captures the high energy and excitement of a live performance. The special features are all well-done, and there’s approximately an hour's worth of material here. But given an entire bonus disc is devoted to special features, I expected there would be more of them. This is a DVD set that's a must-have for Iron Maiden enthusiasts, and these highly enjoyable DVDs may create some new fans as well.
