As die-hard fans know, Iron Maiden are highly regarded for releasing classic live albums and films of concerts, including Live After Death and Rock In Rio to name a few. And yesterday, it was announced that the almighty Maiden would be releasing yet another live performance on DVD/ Blu-ray. This time, the two disc DVD with an accompanying soundtrack album, called En Vivo!, documents the band’s performance at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile on April 10, 2011 during the Round The World In 66 Days leg of The Final Frontier World Tour.
Bassist Steve Harris had the following to say about the new live release:
“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 second bonus disc will include an 88 minute documentary made by the Maiden Killer Krew (the band’s back stage crew) that gives a behind the scenes look of what it takes to get the show up and running. The bonus disc also includes the extended music video and making of video for “Satellite 15…The Final Frontier.”
You can check out the track listing for both discs of the DVD, with the soundtrack being released both physically and digitally, after the jump. En Vivo! will be released on March 27 in North America via uME.
