│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is, as of now, Bruce's last solo album. ║ │
│║ After this, he rejoined Iron Maiden to bring ║ │
│║ some wind back under their admittably-faltering ║ │
│║ wings. But that's beside the point. Here comes ║ │
│║ the review. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Production: Not excellent, but acceptable. Bruce ║ │
│║ sounds better than ever and very crisp, as does ║ │
│║ the Brazillian crowd (More on that later). The ║ │
│║ instruments, however, seem a bit muddy, as if ║ │
│║ this part of the mix was played around with on ║ │
│║ the last day before finishing mixing. It doesn't ║ │
│║ detract from the music much, unless you were ║ │
│║ looking for Alive In Athens-styled production. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Performance: The band, however, is in top form. ║ │
│║ This is, honestly, Bruce's best live vocal ║ │
│║ performance since the energy displayed on Live ║ │
│║ After Death. The band does f- up a few times ║ │
│║ regarding minor beats and the like, but it's ║ │
│║ overlookable. At times, the twin guitars seem to ║ │
│║ be slightly out of time with each other, but now ║ │
│║ I'm just nitpicking; I'll stop now. Song-by-song ║ │
│║ reviews: ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Trumpets Of Jericho: Opening with - you guessed ║ │
│║ it- an Air Raid Siren, this song is faithful to ║ │
│║ the studio version, with little live changes ║ │
│║ aside from the aformentioned muddy ║ │
│║ instrumentals. Still, worth a listen if you're a ║ │
│║ fan of the song (I only listen to it once in a ║ │
│║ while, really) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ King In Crimson: Again, if you've heard the ║ │
│║ album version, then you've basically heard this ║ │
│║ one as well. Bruce delivers a blistering ║ │
│║ performance, as usual with him. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Chemical Wedding: Well, again, this doesn't ║ │
│║ deriviate much from the studio version. The ║ │
│║ chorus, backed up by the audience and guitarist ║ │
│║ as well, just plain rocks, though. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Gates Of Urizen: The fourth song in a row from ║ │
│║ their then-recent Chemical Wedding ║ │
│║ album...although this one is actually performed ║ │
│║ better than in the studio. Bruce always seems so ║ │
│║ much better on soft songs when they're played ║ │
│║ live....Dunno, I guess they don't give him as ║ │
│║ much of a chance to start jumping around like a ║ │
│║ madman and messing up his voice... (See: Rock In ║ │
│║ Rio DVD) ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Killing Floor: Bruce is pretty creepy in the ║ │
│║ verses....but the chorus, the screamed chant of ║ │
│║ "SATAN!" just isn't as powerful without the ║ │
│║ multi-tracked vocals. Oh well, one would think ║ │
│║ that would be fairly obvious. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Book Of Thel: Hoo boy! Unleash the awesome power ║ │
│║ of South American rock fans! After around a ║ │
│║ minute elapses, the crowd's melodic screaming ║ │
│║ (Yes!) actually drowns out the main riff. Bruce ║ │
│║ blisters through this, while the band delivers ║ │
│║ the epic song's soaring riffs and great soloing. ║ │
│║ This live recording is also available on Bruce's ║ │
│║ Best Of album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Tears Of The Dragon: Wow. After a hilarious ║ │
│║ monologue by Bruce (Did they ever shut the f-ing ║ │
│║ door, anyway?), we jump right into Tears Of The ║ │
│║ Dragon. Here come Brazil's would-be rockers ║ │
│║ again; This time, the crowd sings every single ║ │
│║ word in the song along with Bruce, and, well, ║ │
│║ it's completely beautiful; Especially in the ║ │
│║ chorus. Really shows you what this ballad is ║ │
│║ truly capable of, doesn't it? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Laughing In The Hiding Bush: The other SFMB ║ │
│║ track included on the Best Of. Bruce delivers ║ │
│║ this Balls To Picasso song with enthusiam and ║ │
│║ energy, something that seems to be very rampant ║ │
│║ throughout this concert. Worth a listen. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Accident Of Birth: Yay! Track nine, so it's ║ │
│║ about time the band went back to their best ║ │
│║ record (In my opinion, of course). The opening ║ │
│║ riff pulsates with so much energy than before, ║ │
│║ before Bruce's brooding vocals kick in. The ║ │
│║ chorus, part of which is backed by the audience ║ │
│║ (The Welcome Home....part), is just as good, if ║ │
│║ not better than, the studio rendition. ║ │
│║ Definitely worth your immediate attention. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Tower: Seven out of ten songs from Chemical ║ │
│║ Wedding on here? Well, at least it's better than ║ │
│║ Rock In Rio's "meh" tracklisting. This one ║ │
│║ is....ok on this live album. It's played just ║ │
│║ fine, but the crowd-interaction intro is just ║ │
│║ way too long, and it does tend to get repetitive ║ │
│║ after awhile. If you have patience, which I need ║ │
│║ to learn, admittably...then this is solid. I ║ │
│║ usually skip it. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Darkside Of Aquarius: Yay, another Accident Of ║ │
│║ Birth track! Other than the crowd's humming ║ │
│║ along to the opening riff, which manages to ║ │
│║ sound extremely cool, this doesn't vary much ║ │
│║ from the studio version. The solo still rocks, ║ │
│║ as does the tense last verse. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Road To Hell: The album's swansong, a number ║ │
│║ that would seem perfect for ending concerts with ║ │
│║ its arena-like vibe. The crowd is great with ║ │
│║ this one, too. While Bruce seems to hesitate a ║ │
│║ bit on all three prechoruses, the rest of the ║ │
│║ song is pulled off just fine. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So that's it; What of the album, in total? Well, ║ │
│║ the performances are excellent, no doubting ║ │
│║ that, and the setlist is decent, if a little ║ │
│║ unbalanced. Just one complaint about the ║ │
│║ tracklist...It's TOO SHORT! Come on, twelve ║ │
│║ songs, 60% of which are from one album alone. I ║ │
│║ realize that's what they were promoting, but ║ │
│║ where's Back From The Edge? Tattooed ║ │
│║ Millionaire, etc.? I can understand with the ║ │
│║ second one, due to the darker mood achieved ║ │
│║ through the existing set songs, but Omega would ║ │
│║ have made a GREAT closer. Oh well... A must-have ║ │
│║ for fans of Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden, but ║ │
│║ may seem flawed to others. ║ │
