RIO ROCKED!!!

Review Score: (10/10)
I am a big Maiden fan and own all their albums and I must say this is their greatest live album of all time! I have read complaints that the setlist is heavy on the "Brave New World" album, but "Brave New World" was one of Maiden's greatest albums and every song is good (and it was the album Maiden was promoting at the time, would you rather the same songs we heard on other live albums?). There are classics here as well as new songs, such as The Trooper and Run To The Hills. The Rio fans are just deafening. Personal highlights for me are: The Wicker Man, Brave New World, Dream of Mirrors, The Clansman, and The Evil That Men Do!
