Advantages: Great music and amazing special features Disadvantages: Ummm... that's a though one i can't think of any
...it heats up and gets going it's a really good song just to listen to, both lyrics and music. I love the steady build up to the 'NO MORE LIES!' part which is purely amazing.
Hallowed Be Thy Name - Taken from the best Maiden album of all time 'The Number Of The Beast' and as usual is preformed how it should be, fantastically. Has been voted best Maiden song of all time on some sites, and I don't blame them. No faults with the live performance and anyone who loves this song shouldn't be disappointed.
Fear Of The Dark - Title song from the 'Fear Of The Dark' album. I don't think I need to say much about this. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this is the greatest live song by Maiden and by almost all other bands. It's just the crowd reaction to the song that even if your sat at home watching this on DVDyou still get chills.

Advantages: Great songs, singing, dancing, pure entertainment! Disadvantages: None
...Now, I never normally buy music DVDs, I always think I will only watch them once so I don't bother. But this one was a birthday present for my 21st from my son. I did think it was a little odd, but it made sense when I got my other present... 2 concert tickets for the Girls Aloud concert! Hehe it was so I could get a feel for it, and I am glad I watched this because it's made me more excited about seeing the concert now!
The DVD is a complete concert shot at Wembley Arena in 2006, the girls second tour. They perform their Greatest Hits to date, which include first single Sound of the Underground, Biology and The Show. They also throw in a few surprise songs, some great dancing, fabulous outfits and a whole lot of fun!
The tour kicks off with their hit single Biology. The introduction is a little weird with a mad scientist creating...

Advantages: A great oppertunity to learn all the dances! Disadvantages: Some boring songs.
...’s on This DVD? ***
As I said earlier this DVD is a collection of all the Steps singles along with the music videos to them. When the DVD first comes on you are given the option of whether you would like Steps commentary or would just rather watch all the videos non-stop.
If you have commentary on, then a member of the band, who will also tell you a bit of info about the making of the video, will introduce each video to you.
The DVD plays as follows (song length in brackets):
Chain Reaction (3:53): This song is off the ‘Buzz’ album and the video is set in a hospital, with ‘H’ playing the part of a patient and the rest of Steps playing Doctors and Nurses! Towards the end of the video we head out of the hospital to a kind of stage area where Steps are as always doing the dance routine to the song. I love this song, and I actually sang it so...
