FLIGHT 666 documents the first leg of Maiden's legendary SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME WORLD TOUR which took them 50,000 miles round the planet playing 23 concerts on five continents in just 45 days. One of the stars of the movie is the band's customized Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which carried the band, all their crew and 12 tons of stage equipment and was piloted by Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, a fully qualified and active Airline Captain with Astraeus Airlines. Taking you on a visual global tour from Mumbai to Sydney, Tokyo to L.A., Mexico City to Costa Rica, Bogota to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Santiago to New York and Toronto and places in-between, you travel with the band and crew on the plane, to and from shows, in the bar and during leisure time, while experiencing the exhaustion and fan pandemonium that comes with such a mission.

a definitive piece for the Live Concert collection
I'm not a big fan of Maiden, but i do like a lot of their songs. I watched the preview of this Bluray, and I felt i had to get it. So I did.The bluray features 2 ways to watch the concert:- a film, half of it is the live performances in the diferent countries for each song, and documentary footage in between each of the songs, where you can see the band doing different kinds of stuff both at the country of the concert and in flight, interviews, backstage, you name it.- full concert, what you were expecting to see, the songs played back to back, no interruptions.Video quality is absolutely amazing, one of the best i've seen for a live concert dvd. Crisp, clear picture. one of the best in my collection. (maybe I'm still overwhelmed by the blu-ray quality)Audio quality is great, it sounds very good in my 2.1 system, very clear sound. I bet in a 5.1 HD would sound amazingly good, but that's for you to find out.I had a lot of fun watching the whole film, an interesting and never before seen documentary of the things a band would do, and that you have always wondered. Perhaps that is the suprise about this film, since you realize these guys do just the usual things normal people would do.The song selection was amazing. You can see most of their big hits, and you can feel the power and energy deployed on stage by these great musicians playing their own songsI give this Blu-ray 5 stars because of the excellent video and audio quality, because it is a fun movie/concert to watch, the good edition, and the great song selection.

A Must Have! Get It!
Am a 39 year-old guy.I've always been a rocker and forever will be and Iron Maiden is one of my favorite ever since.Last year when I found out that the Maidens gonna have a concert in Irvine Meadows, Irvine CA which is near to the the place where I live I tried looking for a ticket online that very day of their concert coz I knew it's gonna be a lifetime experience.I was so lucky I got one and I was just a few yards away from the stage right at the middle.It was a great concert as whole.The music,the voice,the showmanship, the changing backdraft, the lights, the props and the pyrotechnics were superb.I've been watching a lot of rock concerts here in CA and in Vegas but having watched that one I said to myself,"I'm ok if I will never ever watch a concert again in my life coz that was the best."We'll about this dvd actually mine was a blu ray coz twas cheaper than the dvd,I bought it coz I was hoping that the one I watched was included I mean that venue but unluckily they didn't include it.I also wanted to keep something special in addition to my concert collections and I wasn't wrong.All the places where they played during that tour was as awesome as where I've watched and I could reminisce that feeling as I'm watching this film.Plus the special feature which you'll be able to know about them and their experinces through the entire tour.We'll so much for that.Just buy it and you'll see what I was saying.I can guarantee you'll be satisfied with it,even the famous ones watched their show in LA like Dio, Larsh Ulrich of Metallica and more.Go get it!

Can Never Get Enough Iron Maiden!
The documentary is so much fun. Lots of behind-the-scenes stuff, amusing commentary from band members and crew, and Bruce's piloting Ed Force One is impressive. The concert---which actually consists of song-by-song excerpts from many different concerts from around the world---is also very enjoyable. Bruce's voice was in top form on this tour. I deduct one star, however, because the editing of the concert footage annoyed me. Way too much cutting from shot to shot too quickly. If someone is playing a killer guitar solo, in my opinion, the camera MUST remain on the guitarist, including his face, for the duration of the solo. Especially when the guitarist is Dave Murray, who makes some of the best "guitar faces" ever. I don't want to see a shot of the audience right in the middle of an amazing guitar solo! I also can do without Janick Gers pulling out all the laughable moves from the 1980s Guitar Tricks playbook. At times I wondered if he was stretching his hamstring or playing guitar in a rock show. He should spend less time on his "moves" and more on practicing his solos.

A must-buy!
This is an INCREDIBLE Blu-ray.For mere 15 dollars, you get an amazing movie documenting the latest tour of the band, and more important, documenting the true love that this band has from its fanbase, specially here in South America. This movie is fun, exciting and endearing!Besides the documentary, there are also 16 full songs, which are shown for one or two minutes during the movie but are available full on a separate part of the disc. On the DVD edition you have to change discs (1 for the movie and 1 for the concert) but on Blu-ray it is all in one single disc, with GREAT picture and GREAT audio qualities. Iron Maiden has many live DVDs and discs, but in my opinion this beats them all, since the quality is so high and the set-list is just PERFECT (16 of theyr best tracks from earlier days).As a Brazilian and an Iron Maiden fanatic (I attented 2 of the 16 concerts shown on this disc) this has been the purchase of the year. Even if you are not such a hardcore Maiden fan, it is still worth it just to add to your Blu-ray collection, since image and sound are really sharp and the band is at its best, (even though they are way over their 50's). GET IT NOW!!!

感動的なライブ&ドキュメンタリー
アイアン・メイデンが2008年に行った世界ツアーから、厳選した17曲を収録。更に同行した取材班が撮影した、ドキュメンタリー映像を同梱。演奏のみでも試聴可能だし、ドキュメンタリーだけを楽しむことも可能だ。ライブは「Aces High」「2 Minutes〜」に始まり、「Powerslave」や「Ancient Mariner」を含むなど、1984年のWorld Slavery Tourを強く意識したもの。そして「Wasted Years」「Can I Play〜」「Moonchild」など80年代中期の代表曲がズラリと並ぶ。近年増えてきた、若い世代のファンへのプレゼントらしい。演奏面では、スティーブの強烈な指弾きや、ニコの奔放なグルーブが若い時よりもいい。ブルースの声の調子も良く、「Run to〜」の超高音もオリジナルどおり。メンバー全員が50歳代とは思えぬパワーだ。ドキュメンタリーでは、飛行機操縦を得意とするブルースが、自らボーイング757を操る。専用のチャーター機にバンドとツアースタッフを乗せ、機材も詰め込んで移動するのだが、この方法はコスト面で有利らしい。結果として、これまで訪問できなかった国々でライブが開催できた。特にブラジル以外の中南米は初上陸であり、人々の凄まじい熱狂ぶりは、まるでビートルズが初来日した時の日本のよう。ニコのドラムスティックを拾って感極まる男性、「メイデンこそ我が宗教」という垂れ幕、メロディどころかギターフレーズにまで大合唱する観客……中南米の国々は経済発展の影で、極端な所得格差、犯罪の増加、硬直した社会体制など大きな問題を抱えている。そんな彼らにとってメタルはただの音楽ではなく、悲惨な現実から抜け出す翼であり、救済であり祈りでもある、という事らしい。世界にはまだまだ、メタルを必要としている人々が沢山いる。当分、メイデンに引退の心配はなさそうだ。

さすがのブルーレイ、驚愕です。
内容のレビューはDVDで書きましたのでここでは割愛しますが、幸いにしてブルーレイの再生環境を有しているということと、今回の実に素晴らしいFLIGHT 666のフォーマットを全て揃えるという目的で購入しました。最近の映像ではそんなに画像の向上を期待してませんでしたが、比較対象のDVDを何回も鑑賞しているのでこの画像の綺麗さにはビックリしました。例えば、最初からインドでのライブでの観客の顔がまさにクッキリという言葉がぴったりなほど見えます。要するに一人一人の識別が可能です。もちろんバンドの演奏もほかのシーンも綺麗な画像で鑑賞できます。素晴らしいの一言。また、DVD以上の収録可能なBDだからなのか、ご親切にドイツ語等サブタイトルが増えていることも追記しておきます。いや〜素晴らしい!!

南米の熱狂的なファンに共感する
安さ、BD、字幕付き。この魅力から買いました。ドキュメンタリーやライブは文句なしに最高。自分は新潟在住の22歳♂。メタルはスラッシュメタルから入ってデス、ブラックメタルの世界中のバンドを片っ端から聴いてきて、メイデンは2008年に初めてビーストを聴いた。家庭内の問題で辛い現実と向き合ってきて何度も心が折れそうになってきたけど、そのたびにメタルに助けられたし勇気を貰った。現実の世界では困難や苦悩が待ち受けているけど、メイデンのライブを観てるとそんな事も全て吹っとんでしまうそれくらいにパワフルでエネルギッシュなショウだ残念ながら俺の周りでは「メイデンはダサい」とか言われてしまうのが現実だけど、俺はメイデンのファンでよかった。俺の周りでは誰も気づかないメイデンの良さに俺だけ気づけて本当によかった。最近のにわかデスメタルを聞いて最強とかほざいてる若造にメイデンのこのdvdを見せてやりたいぜ。きっとブっ飛ぶはずさ。命ある限りメイデンを聴き、ショウに行き、永遠の忠誠を誓います。メイデンありがとう
