Maiden England

Brilliant show, less brilliant bonus disc..
FINALLY they officially released this on DVD. 1988's "Maiden England" show captures Iron Maiden hitting another peak, seeing as how the corresponding album, "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" did really well for the most part, and the shows they played were massive. The show itself is of good quality in terms of video and audio quality, especially considering how old the video really is. And the editing, allthough done by Steve Harris (bless him), DOESN'T show you a full show worth of rapidly changing 1-second clips, which is a huge plus. As a bonus, I dare say the setlist is killer. 6 out of the 8 songs found on "Seventh Son" are featured, and in addition to the old hits and live staples, you get a few rarities as well, namely "Still Life", "Die With Your Boots On" and "Killers". NO Powerslave songs were featured, though, but with "Live After Death" in your arsenal (where it should be), it's allright.

Finally! Sheesh!
From what I understand Steve Harris directed and edited Maiden England. To people who don't have the DVD yet, try to guess how many times this is mentioned in print and/or content with this set. Okay, with my little, good humored jab out of the way (probably humorous only to myself), I can move on.

First off, why, oh why didn't they use the original Derek Riggs artwork for this set? I plan to look for some custom DVD covers as I'm sure there will be a few. Rest assured I didn't count that against the product in my rating, just find it annoying we got hamburger instead of steak when it comes to Maiden artwork. Sadly, this isn't the only place where Riggs gets the shaft as you will see.

Nice motion menu of the cover artwork with music and transitions as with the previous "History" releases.
