This is the ║ │ │║ fifth live album from Steve Harris, Bruce ║ │ │║ Dickinson and company, following 1985's classic ║ │ │║ "Live after Death" and 1993's less than classic, ║ │ │║ but still enjoyable "A Real Live One," "A Real ║ │ │║ Dead One," and "Live At Donnington." "A Real ║ │ │║ Live One" and "A Real Dead One" were my ║ │ │║ introduction to live albums, and as lonely ║ │ │║ teenager, I really loved them. As a lonely ║ │ │║ adult, I still like them, but realize that there ║ │ │║ are better produced and performed live albums ║ │ │║ out there. "Rock In Rio," is easily my favorite ║ │ │║ live Maiden release since their "Live After ║ │ │║ Death" masterpiece. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ This album was recorded in Rio De Janeiro, at ║ │ │║ the "Rock In Rio" festival, in front of Iron ║ │ │║ Maiden's biggest audience ever -- and they ║ │ │║ really make themselves heard on this album. The ║ │ │║ crowd sounds familiar with the band's newer ║ │ │║ material proving that Iron Maiden are just as ║ │ │║ vital as they've ever been. Six songs from the ║ │ │║ band's 2000 reunion opus, "Brave New World," are ║ │ │║ included in the setlist, with five appearing on ║ │ │║ the first disc. Two songs from the Blaze Bayley ║ │ │║ era also appear: "Sign of the Cross" and "The ║ │ │║ Clansman." It's interesting to hear Bruce ║ │ │║ Dickinson's interpretation of these songs. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The classics are here as well: "Hallowed Be Thy ║ │ │║ Name," "The Trooper," "Wrathchild," etc. ║ │ │║ However, when you have 12 studio albums and have ║ │ │║ released as many classic metal songs as Maiden ║ │ │║ have, fans are inevitably going to gripe about ║ │ │║ certain songs not making the cut, especially ║ │ │║ fans who aren't into the band's newer material. ║ │ │║ Personally, I am thankful for the overabundance ║ │ │║ of new songs on "Rock In Rio." The old songs can ║ │ │║ be heard on the band's previous four live ║ │ │║ albums. If you want to hear "Aces High," then go ║ │ │║ listen to "Live After Death. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So, how does Maiden sound after all these years? ║ │ │║ The band's performance is top notch, and the ║ │ │║ addition of the third guitarist gives the songs ║ │ │║ a fuller sound. Bruce Dickinson's vocals are ║ │ │║ great as well, although his voice is not quite a ║ │ │║ powerful as it used to be. If you've heard his ║ │ │║ singing on the "Beast On the Road" tour, then ║ │ │║ you'll know exactly what I mean. When he screams ║ │ │║ "the Mercenaaaaaaaaary" to introduce the song of ║ │ │║ the same name, it sounds pretty ugly. ║ │ │║ Thankfully, these "ugly" moments are few number, ║ │ │║ and I find that Bruce's vocal performance on ║ │ │║ "Rock In Rio" is much better and infinitely more ║ │ │║ inspired than on Maiden's live releases in the ║ │ │║ '90's. Bruce sings with uncharted softness on ║ │ │║ the opening verses of "Sign of the Cross" and ║ │ │║ "Brave New World," and even growls certain words ║ │ │║ and lines throughout the album (eg. "show them ║ │ │║ no fear"). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Overall, an absolute must have for any ║ │ │║ self-respecting Iron Maiden fan. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Line-up: ║ │ │║ Bruce Dickinson - vocals ║ │ │║ Steve Harris - bass guitar ║ │ │║ Dave Murray - lead & rhythm guitar ║ │ │║ Adrian Smith - lead & rhythm guitar ║ │ │║ Janick Gers - lead & rhythm guitar ║ │ │║ Nicko McBrain - drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Michael Kenney - keyboard ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Discography ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The Soundhouse Tapes Demo, 1979 ║ │ │║ Running Free Single, 1980 ║ │ │║ Iron Maiden Full-length, 1980 ║ │ │║ Sanctuary Single, 1980 ║ │ │║ Women In Uniform Single, 1980 ║ │ │║ Live!! + One EP, 1980 ║ │ │║ Killers Full-length, 1981 ║ │ │║ Twilight Zone Single, 1981 ║ │ │║ Live at the Rainbow Video/VHS, 1981 ║ │ │║ Purgatory Single, 1981 ║ │ │║ Wrathchild Single, 1981 ║ │ │║ Maiden Japan EP, 1981 ║ │ │║ Run to the Hills Single, 1982 ║ │ │║ The Number of the Beast Full-length, 1982 ║ │ │║ The Number of the Beast Single, 1982 ║ │ │║ Flight of Icarus Single, 1983 ║ │ │║ Piece of Mind Full-length, 1983 ║ │ │║ The Trooper Single, 1983 ║ │ │║ Video Pieces Video/VHS, 1983 ║ │ │║ 2 Minutes to Midnight Single, 1984 ║ │ │║ Powerslave Full-length, 1984 ║ │ │║ Aces High Single, 1984 ║ │ │║ Behind the Iron Curtain Video/VHS, 1984 ║ │ │║ Running Free (live) Single, 1985 ║ │ │║ Live After Death Live album, 1985 ║ │ │║ Live After Death Video/VHS, 1985 ║ │ │║ Run to the Hills (live) Single, 1985 ║ │ │║ Wasted Years Single, 1986 ║ │ │║ Somewhere in Time Full-length, 1986 ║ │ │║ Stranger in a Strange Land Single, 1986 ║ │ │║ 12 Wasted Years Video/VHS, 1987 ║ │ │║ Can I Play With Madness Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Full-length, 1988 ║ │ │║ The Evil That Men Do Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ The Clairvoyant Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ Infinite Dreams Single, 1989 ║ │ │║ Maiden England Video/VHS, 1989 ║ │ │║ Running Free - Sanctuary EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Women in Uniform - Twilight Zone EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Purgatory - Maiden Japan EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Run to the Hills - The Number of the Beast EP, ║ │ │║ 1990 ║ │ │║ Flight of Icarus - The Trooper EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ 2 Minutes to Midnight - Aces High EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Running Free - Run to the Hills EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Wasted Years - Stranger in a Strangeland EP, ║ │ │║ 1990 ║ │ │║ Can I Play With Madness - The Evil That Men Do ║ │ │║ EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ The Clairvoyant - Infinite Dreams EP, 1990 ║ │ │║ Holy Smoke Single, 1990 ║ │ │║ No Prayer for the Dying Full-length, 1990 ║ │ │║ The First Ten Years Video/VHS, 1990 ║ │ │║ Bring Your Daughter ...
