UNIVERSAL MUSIC ENTERPRISES NEW IRON MAIDEN RELEASE EN VIVO!
Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) is proud to announce the release
of “EN VIVO!,” a new live IRON MAIDEN Blu-ray™, 2-DVDSet and
double soundtrack album, on Tuesday, March 27, in the U.S. (available
internationally, Monday, March 26).
“EN VIVO!” was filmed on April 10, 2011, in
front of over 50,000 ecstatic fans at the Estadio Nacional, Santiago, during
the Round The World In 66 Days leg of The
Final Frontier World Tour, and captures a magnificent performance by
the band, ardently embraced by the legendary Latino passion and energy of their
Chilean fans. With spectacular stage backdrops, dynamic musicianship and a
literally jaw-dropping appearance by Eddie, this live show encapsulates to
perfection the heart and soul of Iron Maiden 2011.
Bass player and founding member Steve Harris comments,
“For The Final Frontier Tour, it was really important to me
that we filmed in South America as we’re always so overwhelmed by the fans’
reaction when we go to that part of the world and I wanted to reflect that in
the filming. After much consideration, we chose the Santiago show as we felt it
was one of our best performances of the entire tour and to play at the
prestigious Estadio Nacional was a landmark moment for us. For reasons known to
our fans, it took a long time before we got to play our first show in
Chile, and once we did get to play a show, the response was so phenomenal we
just had to keep coming back, and it’s got better and better each time!”
This show also features the gigantic new Eddie. He wasn’t
due to make his appearance until our European leg of the tour later in 2011,
but we managed to transport him across the sea in a special huge container just
in time for the latter end of the South American dates, so it was great we were
able to immortalize him for the DVD as he really has to be seen to be
believed!”
The concert was filmed digitally using 22 HD cameras and an
octocam (a flying camera which captures aerial crowd scenes), recorded in both
stereo and 5.1 audio and mixed by Maiden’s longstanding producer, Kevin
“Caveman” Shirley, all of which serves to accentuate the incredible atmosphere
of this compelling performance. Extensive use is made of split screens so fans
can follow the individual members more closely, and the set list moves
seamlessly between songs from Maiden’s most recent studio album, 2010’sThe
Final Frontier, through to classic fan favorites via the band’s vast
and varied catalogue (full set listing below).
Disc two of the DVD set is a bonus disc containing
an 88-minute documentary, Behind The Beast. This is also an
entirely in-house production by Maiden’s own Krew, led by Andy Matthews, and is
intended as an interesting and revealing high quality “home movie” for their
fans to see how Iron Maiden put on a tour and what goes on behind the scenes at
a show. It describes the extraordinary story of one of the most acclaimed and
ambitious touring shows in the world. It illustrates the day-to-day life and
complex tasks of the Maiden Killer Krew and the other characters behind the
scenes. The expertise and experience, the problem-solving and successes, the
sheer scale and immense difficulties of the undertaking come to life through
the day-to-day coverage of the tour and the background work of the crews in
sound, lighting, carpentry, production and set design. As well as interviews
with the Iron Maiden crew, it interweaves anecdotes from the band and their
fans, and includes footage of the live show in this comprehensive guide to the
intricacies of staging massive, live stadium shows around the world out of the
belly of a Boeing 757. The bonus disc also contains an extended version of the
promo video “Satellite 15…The Final Frontier,” a video about the making
of “Satellite 15…The Final Frontier” plus the opening video sequence
to The Final Frontier World Tour.
In addition to the Blu-ray™, the 2-DVD set will initially be
available as a Limited Edition double DVD in a Collectors’ Steel Book Case and
Double Vinyl Picture Disc. As well as a traditional 2-CD soundtrack
album, EN VIVO! will also be available as a digital
download audio album and digital download video.
Maiden’s “Final Frontier World Tour 2010-11” saw the band
circumnavigating the planet for the third time in their customized Boeing 757,
Ed Force One, piloted by lead singer Bruce Dickinson, and playing 98 shows in
36 countries to over 2 million fans.
