Captures Iron Maiden at their best!

Review Score: (10/10)
This is one of those live albums that really FEEL live. It's like getting the whole concert experience and not just tracks with some background audience noise. Maiden is in top form and the set list is really good, a nice balance between old and new tracks. It's good to see that tracks from the Blaze Bailey period were included since and Bruce Dickinson sings them as if they were his own. I put this one on a par with Live After Death in sheer rocking power and quality of songs. Also, the Rio de Janeiro crowd is just awesome! They sing along to EVERY song and it sounds great! The two video tracks are a nice extra that only make you want to see more, I'll definetly be getting the DVD.
