Surprised no one else has posted anything about this.
Just came back from watching Iron Maiden: Flight 666. Figured I'd give a report.
#1 - Adrian Smith Jackson all over the place - lots of close ups of him playing it, both maple and ebony models. Under the stage lights it looked a little more off-white than white-white.
OK, with that out of the way. Very cool "concert-mentary." It basically picks up at the beginning of the first leg of Somewhere Back In Time tour - leaving England for their first date in Mumbai. The pulse of the movie is behind the scenes footage, one song in concert, flight footage, behind the scenes footage, one song in concert, flight footage, rinse, repeat. Some stops were ommitted (shown only in Indiana Jones style flybys) but we see India, Australia, Tokyo, Anchorage, LA, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, New Jersey and Toronta. The live stuff was very cool -all the classics, Trooper, Hills, Aces High, Mariner - basically most of the set they played this time around.
My wife could have used more documentary scenes, but I thought it was a good balance and it played well for the crowd.
Thumbs up.
Also - I can't wait to get my Adrian Smith Dinky!!!
