TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Jessica Carvalho This DVD has a very nice show from Iron Maiden from the 80's, with classic songs like '' 2 minutes to Midnight'', ''The Number of the Beast''and ''Iron Maiden''. So cool to see them all very young and with long hair!Eddie shows up from the wall and we also can see the other Eddie walking on stage(Those were the times that Iron Maiden hired a person to dress up as Eddie) to be killed by the band members. Bruce takes Eddie's brain out, and he gets punched and kicked a lot. (I wouldn't like to get this job,he he)The only thing I regret while watching this DVD, was the fact that I wasn't a teenager or an adult in the 80's, because this concert was awesome!

frankraj Twisted Sister and Warrior opened for Iron Maiden when they played at the Long Beach Arena back in '85. I missed the show but bought the LP and later the VHS. They played 4 nights, late in the year. They had, at the time, the best lighting and stage setup around. They put on a mean show. Bruce Dickenson played guitar, just a few chords on Revelations. A giant mummified Eddie, guy in costume, appears on stage for Powerslave just as Adrian Smith starts to shred his solo. On the song Iron Maiden, a super huge Eddie comes out from behind the big, splitting, Egyptian Eddie bust, dwarfing drummer Nicko Mcbrain. Then, Bruce Dickenson gets the audience all riled up by having them participate in a contest to see who made more noise. This truly is the best performance Maiden has to offer. A must for any Maiden fan. Iron Maiden, in this video, was:Bruce Dickenson, Vocals Steve Harris, Bass & Backing Vocals Dave Murry, Guitar, Lead Guitar Adrian Smith, Guitar, Lead Guitar & Backing Vocals Nicko Mc Brain, DrummerIron Maiden is Heavy Metal! "Iron Maiden's gonna getcha, no matter how far"

ASicilia I first saw this concert in 1987, fresh out of the box, in a friend's house who was/is a die-hard-core I'm fan. I WAS HOOKED.I have had the opportunity to watch live shows on arenas, theaters, stadiums, videos and bars; and the emotion, the vive, and the adrenaline that I remember from watching this video concert again and again -until I gave it back to my friend, has only been surpassed by one arena concert I have attended.I've watched other Maiden concert videos (Live in Japan, Maiden England, Rock in Rio) and in those the songs were too fast, too slow, too "play-it-couse-we-know-how-to"... in Live After Death, the minute you understand that only such Churchill speech is the perfect oppener for a British band that gets an adrenaline rush by looking at their flag, you know you're in for a bang. A such bang you get from the first chord blasting out of what appears to be one of the loudest concerts ever heard in the Long Beach Arena.Oh man... the way Dickinson plays the crowd... yes..! Plays the crowd! As if the 52k+ attendees were his musical instrument! Watching this, listening the way the crowd helped Maiden's charismatic front man tell his doctor in England "Doctor, Los Angeles... destroyed... my hearing!!" is reminiscent of Freddie Mercury's heyday singing "Now I'm Here" in front of a packed stadium, but on steroids!The songs are played at the only-way-they-should-be-played speed, enough to make your head bang with force but not so as the singer crept through the lyrics to keep up; something that happens a couple of times on the other Maiden video concerts.Murray's & Smith's playing is clean-flawless (eat your heart out rock guitar player-wannabes!). McBrian's drumming is relentless, and every time he turns to the camera looks at it as of asking "Is this all you've got Los Angeles?" And of course, Dickinson, that guy never got old did he? If you think that he is intense on stage... you're right! That man has not slowed his pace in the 20 years since then!The image quality is great for a VHS, and the sound it top of the line for its day. It is only too bad that if you want to see it, you'll need to find it under a box full of stuff in your oldest uncle's attic or pay 60+ bucks for it at a collector's trade show, in godd condition enough for you to enjoy it a couple if times, if you're lucky.I would pay the 60+.I know no Maiden fan who is not hard-core. Maiden has that, all its fans are hard-core followers. If you're not in the Maiden Army, it's because you have not seen this video... too bad.Like withfullforce666 said, "This film really should get the re-mastering treatment and released as DVD at some point".If you're a rock fan, having this concert in your video collection is a must, because it teaches everyone the true meaning of the title:L I V E . R O C K . C O N C E R T.

fasteddie32773 This is video shot during Iron Maidens' 1984-85 "World Slavery" Tour. The video was shot at the Long Beach Arena during 4 nights they played there. It differs slighty from the CD of the same name, but basically the same set. This tour is considered to be Maiden at their peak. At the time, this was the worlds longest concert tour on record, it ran for approx. 11 months!This is a must see/have DVD for the true Iron Maiden fan. If you missed them on this tour, this DVD will more than make up for the missed opportunity. I have watched this video over and over again and am amazed and delighted to watch the lads perform one of the most memorable concerts in rock history.
