Perhaps one of the reasons that Iron Maiden have had such a long and successful career (25 ... more
years and counting) is because they know how to take care of their fans.The Early Days--the first in a series of planned DVD archives of the band's history--is ample proof of this. This two-disc set is packed with Maiden goodies, charting their early rise at the forefront of the movement that became known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Disc One has not one but three live concerts: "Live at the Rainbow", originally released on VHS back in 1980 and featuring their original vocalist Paul Di'Anno; 1982's "Beast Over Hammersmith", with Bruce Dickinson fronting the band; and 1983's "Live at Dortmund", which features the band at the top of the bill and the top of their form, headlining a massive metal festival in Germany. All feature such classic Iron Maiden tracks as "Killers", "Number of the Beast" and "Run to the Hills".Disc Two complements these live sets with a mix of archival material (including home video footage of one of their first gigs, back in 1979 at East London's Ruskin Arms) and exclusive new material. The centrepiece is a 90-minute documentary where band members past and present give candid and entertaining interviews, charting the birth and subsequent rise of these metal titans. Non-fans will probably find much of the material here a bit silly (the spandex and leather look hasn't aged well), but this DVD isn't for them anyway. But people who love Iron Maiden will find evidence here that the band loves them, too.--Robert Burrow

Having watched this literally one day after seeing Iron maiden in Earl's court my mind was obsessed with the band and their music. And this DVD (part 1 out of 3) proves to reveal hidden aspects of the band in the early days as well as a number of never before seen on camera performances. In my opinion Iron maiden are one of if not the best live band in music, not to mention their other title 'fathers of heavy metal'. This DVD is fascinating and any maiden fan will be intrigued by. You really do get good value for money as well as you get the full performances from 'Live at the rainbow' (1981), 'beast over Hammersmith' (1982) and 'live in Dortmund (1983). You also get 'Live at Ruskin', and a documentary on the early development and establishment of a band that were to change history, and still are. You also get a 90 minute documentary on the band during there arguably wildest and fastest few years, which anybody can find intriguing. The other DVD's of there later years are not yet out, but this will keep maiden fans content and this DVD is awesomely fantastic, an honest insight into the rock stars and most importantly of all Eddie on the front cover!
