Product Description
Live performance from the legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Together since 1975, the band have produced 15 studio albums over the course of their career, making them one of the most successful and influential metal bands of all time. This performance captures them live in Santiago, Chile, during their 2011 'Final Frontier World Tour' and sees them perform such classic tracks as 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Running Free'. Also included is 'Behind the Beast', a documentary which takes a look behind the scenes of the tour and follows the band on the road.

It's fair to say that we've had quite a few live videos from metal's finest over the years, from 85's classic Live After Death to 09's excellent live/ documentary film Flight 666, but I have to say that En Vivo! is a cut above. To put it briefly, this is a tremendous performance in a massive venue before a fanatical audience, coupled with spot-on editing and production to make a truly tremendous package.
The concert opens with a heart pounding build up through the first half of Satellite 15... The Final Frontier, showing the band and crew prepare for the show while ecstatic fans fill Santiago's Estadio Nacional, before Maiden take to the stage and launch into "The Final Frontier". As the excitement continues through "El Dorado" and "2 Minutes to Midnight", it's made perfectly clear that this is a band on fire- an immense performance which puts groups half their age to shame. Each member is on top form, with Dickinson in particular giving an overwhelming show, turning challenging numbers such as "The Talisman" into astonishing spectacles.
The setlist itself is a masterpiece of ebb and flow, with the smooth intros of "Dance of Death" and "When the Wild Wind Blows" erupting through to high paced numbers like "The Trooper" and "The Evil That Men Do". Being The Final Frontier World Tour, there is a large amount of newer material here, but that is absolutely no excuse for complaint- recent tracks fit comfortably between old favourites remarkably well, a true testimony to the band's consistent song writing prowess. In any case, if you really can't give the new stuff the chance you know it deserves, then you really should have bought Flight 666 instead.
The editing present is wonderful.... Read more ›

50,000 Chileans can't be wrong???.............. In this case they are not wrong. I've been a fan since Killers in 1981 and I was initially skeptical whether I needed another Maiden dvd at this point. It turns out that I did need another. This is a great show. The band are playing at the top of their game, Dickinson shows once more just how powerful his voice still is to this day. Iron Maiden write the book on keeping self respect in the face of advancing years. Great stuff. Other bands take note, this really IS how it's done!!!

I bought this primarily for the live set after watching them live at manchester where they were amazing.
The picture and sound quality is fantastic especialy in Dolby 5.1 and that is worth the cost of the blu ray alone
but it includes so much quality for the price and is ultimately a bargin.
The main thing i was suprised about was the quality of the documentary. I own Flight 666 and thought it was
brilliantly done so i didnt expect too much from this.
How wrong i was, it is fantastic and it goes into so much depth and is extremely interesting and if anything i
think its better although the two are very different and are a must watch for Maiden fans or just anyone who appreciates
good music and the work that goes on behind the scenes.
The only flaw i would say the Blu Ray has is the menu options are in a small font making it a little hard to read. I have a 40"
screen and it still appeared small. just a heads up
Overall i am extremely happy with this and would highly recommend it

I watched the extras on this blu-ray first, and I'm glad I did. The 'Behind the Beast' documentary easily rivals, and perfectly supplements 2010's 'Flight 666' film. This time, told from the perspective of the crew and backroom staff, it documents exactly what an incredible piece of work it is getting a Maiden tour off the ground (literally!) and around the world. What you get is a feeling of the love, pride and professionalism the crew have for the band, the fans and their work which explains the success of the tours, and why Maiden still rule thirty years after they started out in a van.
The concert itself is excellent, although I did find the sound a bit muddy, but it's a great memento of the Final Frontier tour, and another great addition to the collection of Maiden live concert videos.

As usual from Iron Maiden team - great quality of sound, vision and most important - music. All new songs from The Final Frontier are great and this record only proves that. Strongly recommended.

Worth it just for the "Behind the Beast" doc, I presume the beast is the Boeing that somehow gets the loadout gear for the whole tour stuffed into its backside.
Strange that the steelbook edition is DVD only, a cynic would suggest that this is to get fans to buy twice, but as it was a gift for my uncle who has no Blu-ray player it didn't matter.
Excellent production values, the band and crew have been refining it for over thirty years, and it's a great show.
When you watch it, you don't get the impression that you're watching an old band past their glory days, what you see is a band that still love doing what they do.

This Iron Maiden DVD is the band firing on all cylinders, the band truly at their peak. Since Bruce returned in 1999 they seem to be bigger and better than ever before, you know when your in one of the world's biggest bands, when the band have their own plane, flown by the singer, to fill the world's biggest stadiums. And this concert in Chile is one of them.
They seem to play the songs faster as they get older, but this is okay, because the musicianship is outstanding as always. Especially the lethal combination of Nicko McBrain and Steve Harris, and Bruce Dickinson's vocal's are as commanding, powerful and operatic as they have ever been. The documentary DVD is also great as you get an insight into the work that goes into putting on a Maiden show, and see them playing places, no band could ever dream or hope to play. In an uncertain world, there is something reassuring and genuine about Maiden, long may they rule!
