Contents
The concert was the last to feature vocalist Bruce Dickinson (until he returned to the band in 1999). The band played on stage in conjunction with horror magician Simon Drake, who ended up "killing" Dickinson in an Iron Maiden torture device, "amputated" Dave Murray's hands on a table saw and "killed" members of the crew and audience.
Critical reception
AllMusic gave the video 3 out of 5, commenting that it's "extremely cheesy" but "a blast to watch," going on to state that it "will please most Iron Maiden fans."
