Iron Maiden Flight(Br
F**A
a definitive piece for the Live Concert collection
I'm not a big fan of Maiden, but i do like a lot of their songs. I watched the preview of this Bluray, and I felt i had to get it. So I did.The bluray features 2 ways to watch the concert:- a film, half of it is the live performances in the diferent countries for each song, and documentary footage in between each of the songs, where you can see the band doing different kinds of stuff both at the country of the concert and in flight, interviews, backstage, you name it.- full concert, what you were expecting to see, the songs played back to back, no interruptions.Video quality is absolutely amazing, one of the best i've seen for a live concert dvd. Crisp, clear picture. one of the best in my collection. (maybe I'm still overwhelmed by the blu-ray quality)Audio quality is great, it sounds very good in my 2.1 system, very clear sound. I bet in a 5.1 HD would sound amazingly good, but that's for you to find out.I had a lot of fun watching the whole film, an interesting and never before seen documentary of the things a band would do, and that you have always wondered. Perhaps that is the suprise about this film, since you realize these guys do just the usual things normal people would do.The song selection was amazing. You can see most of their big hits, and you can feel the power and energy deployed on stage by these great musicians playing their own songsI give this Blu-ray 5 stars because of the excellent video and audio quality, because it is a fun movie/concert to watch, the good edition, and the great song selection.

A Must Have! Get It!
Am a 39 year-old guy.I've always been a rocker and forever will be and Iron Maiden is one of my favorite ever since.Last year when I found out that the Maidens gonna have a concert in Irvine Meadows, Irvine CA which is near to the the place where I live I tried looking for a ticket online that very day of their concert coz I knew it's gonna be a lifetime experience.I was so lucky I got one and I was just a few yards away from the stage right at the middle.It was a great concert as whole.The music,the voice,the showmanship, the changing backdraft, the lights, the props and the pyrotechnics were superb.I've been watching a lot of rock concerts here in CA and in Vegas but having watched that one I said to myself,"I'm ok if I will never ever watch a concert again in my life coz that was the best."We'll about this dvd actually mine was a blu ray coz twas cheaper than the dvd,I bought it coz I was hoping that the one I watched was included I mean that venue but unluckily they didn't include it.I also wanted to keep something special in addition to my concert collections and I wasn't wrong.All the places where they played during that tour was as awesome as where I've watched and I could reminisce that feeling as I'm watching this film.Plus the special feature which you'll be able to know about them and their experinces through the entire tour.We'll so much for that.Just buy it and you'll see what I was saying.I can guarantee you'll be satisfied with it,even the famous ones watched their show in LA like Dio, Larsh Ulrich of Metallica and more.Go get it!

A must-buy!
This is an INCREDIBLE Blu-ray.For mere 15 dollars, you get an amazing movie documenting the latest tour of the band, and more important, documenting the true love that this band has from its fanbase, specially here in South America. This movie is fun, exciting and endearing!Besides the documentary, there are also 16 full songs, which are shown for one or two minutes during the movie but are available full on a separate part of the disc. On the DVD edition you have to change discs (1 for the movie and 1 for the concert) but on Blu-ray it is all in one single disc, with GREAT picture and GREAT audio qualities. Iron Maiden has many live DVDs and discs, but in my opinion this beats them all, since the quality is so high and the set-list is just PERFECT (16 of theyr best tracks from earlier days).As a Brazilian and an Iron Maiden fanatic (I attented 2 of the 16 concerts shown on this disc) this has been the purchase of the year. Even if you are not such a hardcore Maiden fan, it is still worth it just to add to your Blu-ray collection, since image and sound are really sharp and the band is at its best, (even though they are way over their 50's). GET IT NOW!!!

Thank you.
Iron Maiden...Just Thank You.Thank you for letting down the guard that so often separates reality from the "glamours" of stardom. Seeing how "real" the band is, understanding what Iron Maiden is all about, feeling the "soul" of the music---it's all lovingly accomplished in this wonderful documentary. Even if you're not a fan of Iron Maiden (you will be), you will enjoy this film. "But there's more..(!)"...Seeing the tears in the eyes of the people of Latin America. Wondering what was behind those eyes...Seeing Bruce actually fly the band around the world in a 757. Umm...wow. That is certainly a first.Seeing Steve and the musicianship, the family, the love for what Iron Maiden represents, and the integrity to hold on to that.Seeing the absolute, nonforced, unabated JOY on the faces of the band, who truly seem to appreciate their audiences throughout the entire tour, in the face of the 2000's cynicism that pervades what passes as "popular music" most of the time today...Thank you to Iron Maiden, to the filmmakers, and to the audiences of this tour for making something real, something tangible, and something to believe in. Kudos to all of those involved. 5 Stars all the way.
