Death on the Road (Sanctuary)

2003's fantastical Dance of Death was built for the stage. With Bruce Dickinson cast as both Phantom of the Opera and the grim reaper, Death on the Road, filmed in Dortmund Westenfalenhalle, Germany, comes in two separate audio formats capturing a typical Maiden voyage through a blitzkrieg of angles and edits similar to the band's Rock in Rio DVD. The real killer here is a bonus disc, which features behind-the-scenes concert footage and a documentary on the tour's Death sponsor. Eddie lives! ***.5
