Opening with a montage of tour and mostly backstage shots while Moonchild's intro starts, we kick right into the concert as the song starts proper. Then, before The Evil That Nen Do, there's a slightly strange montage of ice-slides and stuff. Adrian's backing vocals on Prisoner are a pleasant suprise.
Still Life is an awesome addition, as is the follwing Die With Your Boots on, which shows itself to be a great live song. Infinite Dreams is as excellent as ever, and is followed-up immediately by the gritty Killers.
Then there's Seventh Son's weakest track, Can I Play With Madness, which actually becomes one of the best on the video. It may not be all that in the studio, but with a sold-out arena crowd behind him, Bruce demonstrates how a not-so-great song can become amazing.
The two songs from Somewhere In Time are great live, Wasted Years in particular, as Adrian kicks out that solo. But the real treat comes in Heaven Can Wait, where those guys from Tehe's Bar actually come onto the stage and do their stuff. Great stuff. The Clairvoyant's bass intro really coemes alive here, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is astonishing live, with the instrumental section the highlight.
Bruce's voice does seem to be going a little during Number of the Beast and Hallowed, but only a little, and he still delivers a great performance, especially since he has Dave on his shoulders soloing for most of NotB. Of course, not show would be complete without either Iron Maiden or an appearence by Eddie. Here we get both at once, and teh crowd goes absolitely mental when Eddie rises from the stage.
Other highlights include Bruce's little speechs here and there, especially before Seventh Son and Infinite Dream (where he dons a Sooty puppet). And his closing speech is extremely funny as well (as are the pictures in the closing montage). And not to mention when he always plays with Nicko's drums like a madman.
Maiden England is a terrific live video, and it can be found for next to nothing on e-bay - an excellent purchase. Definitely one of the best live 'albums'.
