Man, I was psyched to see this show. Iron Maiden was one of my first "favorite" bands and they were the first band for whom I owned all of their albums - I don't rank them quite as highly today, but, I still enjoy their music. My wife indulges me on them, and this was the second time I'd seen them with her. I saw them back in '84 - the third concert I ever saw - as well as in '99, '03 and '05. I like their newer stuff, but, it doesn't compare to the sequence of the first 7 albums.
They didn't disappoint - the crowd was totally fired up the whole show, which accounts for all of the obstructions in the filming. A lot of times, I shoot at the screen, though, I try to get the stage wherever I can. It's not bad, but, probably not the first show from this tour that you'd download. I loved it - this was a close to a perfect Maiden setlist that I can personally imagine.
Myself, I'm a fan of audience shot videos - I've shot 40 or so myself, and have 100s of old VHS tapes from collectors around the world. I really enjoy this video, but, your enjoyment will likely be determined by how much you tolerate somewhat shaky, somewhat blurry and generated picture. If you're cool with that, then this might be something you'll enjoy!
