I think Bruce sounds amazing on En Vivo, The Talisman in particular. Shame the setlist was uninspired.

I think Bruce sounds amazing on En Vivo too and Flight 666 are some of the very best versions of those songs I've ever heard.

Yeah, the setlist was a bit uninspired. At least they could have added some of the songs they did in 2010 as a bonus.
Shame to hear Bruce's performance has tailed off again. It raises concerns again about the strain on his voice. He was belting it out mid-tour.

I like the 'Death on the Road' DVD. It's not as good as 'Rock in Rio' though.

The show itself is quite special. Journeyman as an encore, the performances of DOD and Paschendale, a Blaze tune. The editing ruins it completely.

I got used to the editing. Actually came to like it. It fits the music. Love that DVD.

lol, Agreed those quick cuts ruined it for me and made me nauseous. Never watched it more then once because of that.

Bruce may have sounded better on a BNW tour live album had they recorded elsewhere and we may have had Out of the Silent Planet on there! I understand why they chose Rio though... no 250,000 person audience at any other shows lol...
RIR was the best live album IMO and a phenomenal set list and live versions

The mix bothers me more since it basically wrecks it as a live album too. It kinda sounds like a high quality soundboard recording. Almost like they didn't have time to do it properly so they just did a really quick mix. What's even stranger is all the other reunion era live albums honestly sound fine (relatively speaking, Flight 666 varies a fair amount track by track and has its own issues but it's not terrible by any means), DotR is the only standout in that regard.

^ there are parts of RIR where they clearly dubbed Bruce's voice over parts that were not truly live... the concert shot by the locals which is on youtube proves this

Yes, Flight 666 has great versions. Rime of the Ancient Mariner for me is the best ever recorded, better than Long Beach Arena, by the way.

Every Iron Maiden show should have an epilepsy warning. In fact every Metal show should have one.

Well the picture was indeed the Boston event shirt. BTW I love the event shirts this year. I wish there were more last year.

Very nice. That's going to be one of the most sought after ones of this tour.

Wanted my son to have his 1st concert shirt but difficult to find for 11 year old. Just bought 1 from Maiden website. TBOS CD cover is on the front. Wanted the TX event shirt but all they have left is XL adult size. With shipping to US, was about $38 US. Still cheaper I think than buying at the show

During DOG, I started to get a headache from the frantic lights (which normally does not happen to me). Went away when the song ended

I often close my eyes and look at the ground during the light shows.
