IRON
MAIDEN
–
Flight
666:
The
Original
Soundtrack
If you
haven’t
grabbed
a copy
of the
Flight
666
documentary
covering
this
mammoth
tour
by one
of the
world’s
biggest
Metal
bands
of all
time,
do yourself
a favour.
This
soundtrack
covers
16 songs
from
the
tour
on two
discs,
recorded
around
the
globe
on their
Somewhere
Back
In Time
World
Tour,
where
they
hit
38 countries
over
45 days
in a
Boeing
757
flown
by none
other
than
the
band’s
vocalist
Bruce
Dickinson(!).
The
tour
focused
on material
from
the
amazing
first
half
of the
band’s
history
(and
also
my favourite
era),
including
songs
from
their
debut
self-titled
album,
Number
Of The
Beast,
Piece
Of Mind,
(their
total
breakthrough
record)
Powerslave,
Somewhere
In Time,
Seventh
Son
Of A
Seventh
Son,
and
Fear
Of The
Dark.
Each
of the
tracks
were
recorded
in a
different
city
and
include:
Aces
High
(Mumbai),
2 Minutes
To Midnight
(Melbourne),
Revelations
(Sydney),
The
Trooper
(Tokyo),
Wasted
Years
(Monterrey),
The
Number
Of The
Beast
(LA),
Can
I Play
With
Madness
(Mexico
City),
the
complete
14 minute
version
of Rime
Of The
Ancient
Mariner
(New
Jersey),
Powerslave
(San
Jose),
Heaven
Can
Wait
(Sao
Paulo),
Run
To The
Hills
(Bogota),
Fear
Of The
Dark
(Buenos
Aires),
Iron
Maiden
(Santiago),
Moonchild
(San
Juan),
The
Clairvoyant
(Curitiba),
Hallowed
Be Thy
Name
(Toronto).
Having
honed
their
skills
and
built
their
fan
base
as a
live
act,
growing
to incorporate
huge
stage
sets,
Iron
Maiden
is most
comfortable
on stage.
Their
live
performances
captured
over
the
years
(both
audio
and
visual),
is always
an explosive,
magnetic
and
precisely
executed
spectacle
as any
Maiden
fan
would
confirm.
The
album
(and
DVD
soundtrack)
was
mastered
by South
African
born
Kevin
Shirley
who
has
been
a permanent
fixture
in the
Iron
Maiden
productions
for
many
years
now.
On the
DVD
you
also
get
an extra
disc
with
the
live
performance
of these
songs
on the
CD,
so economically
it might
be well
worth
choosing
that
option.
But
unless
you
have
a DVD
set-up
rigged
in your
car,
how
will
you
be able
to relive
this
energetic
experience
while
driving?
Hardcore
fans
will
not
have
a problem
picking
up both
the
DVD
and
CD.
PS.
Calling
it a
“World
Tour”
is fine
&
well
and
cannot
be disputed,
but
they
could’ve
swung
by South
African
shores
for
a show
or two,
the
only
time
we had
the
chance
on local
soil
was
during
the
mid-‘90s
period
when
seminal
vocalist
Dickinson
left
and
was
replaced
by Wolfsbane
singer
Blaze
Bayley.
