Quote:11/05/2005Death On The Road – Iron Maiden announce their new DVD/CD
Iron Maiden have confirmed they are to release a Double DVD and Live Album titled “DEATH ON THE ROAD” through EMI Records on August 29th 2005, and on Sanctuary Records in the USA on August 30th 2005.
The show was filmed at the Westfalenhalle Arena, Dortmund, Germany during the Dance of Death European Tour in December 2003 and fully captures the magnificent stage production and electricity of the band’s performance. Steve Harris once again took weeks personally editing the footage and like Rock in Rio this means thousands of cuts right into the heart of the action.
Says Steve Harris, “The shows on that tour were perhaps far more theatrical than some of our recent tours so it has a very different feel than that of, say, Rock in Rio which was a massive festival environment. The 115 minute show was originally filmed by VIVA TV in Germany to broadcast across their national TV network a few days afterwards. However TV and DVD are always very different mainly owing to the time restrictions. So we’ve spent time starting from the bare bones to create a full length concert feature that captures the excitement of the show but also the drama as well. I think when people see songs like Paschendale and Dance Of Death they’ll be blown away by the spectacle. At the same time there are some great moments in Journeyman that I think will surprise a few people. Iron Maiden with acoustic guitars?! I’m really happy with the end result as it captures the dark and lighter moments perfectly.”
The album and PCM Stereo / 5.1 Surround sound for the DVD has been mixed and produced by Kevin ‘Caveman’ Shirley and co-produced, as always, by Steve Harris.
The Double DVD also features a full 70-minute documentary directed by Matthew Amos charting the album’s creation and then subsequent preparations for the following tour. The feature length program includes candid and personal footage of the band during the recording and writing of the album, which is the first time it’s ever been filmed.
Says Manager Rod Smallwood, “The documentary is something quite special for the fans as it really is a very revealing portrait of how Maiden work together recording and it took me hours to persuade them to let the cameras in the recording studio. Previously they’d never allowed any of that to be filmed but this time we decided to have a camera floating around to try and capture the Maiden recording process. A lot of it was filmed by Kevin Shirley and the band themselves. I think it’s a great representation of the talent, effort and humour of a Maiden recording session. The documentary also covers what it takes to set up a major World Tour and has various interviews with our Killer Krew and hopefully it will be as insightful and interesting as the well received Early Days documentary footage.
“As usual we have crammed as much as possible into the DVD’s with a host of extras including all of the promo videos from the album, footage of the band performing in South America, background interviews with members of the production crew and fans along the tour, artwork and photo galleries. Many hours of Maiden mayhem.
“Like Rock in Rio we have again decided to release a DVD and CD. Those who have DVD players will presumably opt for the DVD but we wanted to ensure all fans could get at least the audio of this tour and many countries of the World do not have widespread capacity to play DVDs.”
The full set list from the show is:
WILDEST DREAMS
WRATHCHILD
CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS
TROOPER
DANCE OF DEATH
RAINMAKER
BRAVE NEW WORLD
PASCHENDALE
LORD OF THE FLIES
NO MORE LIES
HALLOWED BE THY NAME
FEAR OF THE DARK
IRON MAIDEN
JOURNEYMAN
THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
RUN TO THE HILLSThe release of the DVD and Live album coincides with their headlining performance at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals which sold out within hours of going on sale. Reading Festival holds a special place in Maiden history. They first appeared there in 1980 as special guests to UFO and the following year a certain Bruce Dickinson was famously approached backstage for the job of vocalist before returning in 1982 for Iron Maiden’s first ever headlining appearance at a festival anywhere.
The Reading and Leeds appearances will complete their busy summer touring schedule that includes top billing at major European Festivals and their own headlining stadium dates like their record breaking show in Gothenburg at the 55,000 capacity Ullevi Stadium that sold out in a mere two and a half hours. Just prior to Reading and Leeds the band will be joining Black Sabbath on Ozzfest in North America, plus a handful of arena headline dates
Coole Sache, Parker!

Toll, noch ein Maiden Live Album. Könnten die nicht einfach die Songs, die sie auf ihren neuen Touren auch neu spielen einfach als EP oder als Free Download anbieten?!
Ich habe keine Lust mir alle 3 Jahre eine neue Live CD bzw. DVD zu kaufen.
Oh, es müsste doch auch bald wieder ein neuse Best Of rauskommen. Haben Maiden doch schon seit 1 1/2 Jahren ein neues Album auf dem Markt.--
Ich weiß ja nicht, ob eine Band wirklich sechs Live-Album im Laufe ihrer Karriere rausbringen muß.

Zumindest sollte es nicht im Studio-Live-Studio-Live-Takt geschehen – fand ich bei JUDAS PRIEST schon nicht so berauschend… 🙄

Müssen sie sicherlich nicht. Andererseits ist aber die Nachfrage da, und ich sauge grundsätzlich alles auf, was die Band veröffentlicht. Hat nun mal Götterstatus bei mir :). Wenn’s nach mir geht, können die ruhig von jeder Tour ’ne Live-DVD bringen *gier*.

Kaufzwang?

Zwang mit Sicherheit nicht, aber es ist schon so, dass man als Maiden-Fan gerne die Alben hätte, die die Band raushaut. Auch wenn es ein Live-Album ist und einen das eigentlich stört. Als Fan will man’s trotzdem haben.

Also ich als bigfan freu mich über jede neue veröffentlichung :mrgit:

Drummer: New IRON MAIDEN CD Will Be A Concept Album – May 26, 2005
According to a posting on the IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenFans.com, French drum magazine Batterie recently published an interview with MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain in issue #14, dated May 2005. In the interview, Nicko revealed the following information:
* The next IRON MAIDEN album will be a concept album along the lines of „Seventh Son of the Seventh Son“
* Nicko has an instructional drum DVD in the works; no release date has yet been given for this project
* MAIDEN track „Prodigal Son“ will be rehearsed prior to the summer tour and if it sounds good enough, it may be included in the group’s setlist. (Note that at the time of the interview no rehearsal sessions had yet taken place).
* MAIDEN’s plans for the upcoming studio album are to begin writing in November 2005 and to start the recording process in January 2006
