Thursday, March 4th, 2010 11:00pm to 12:55am

A film that documents the first leg of Iron Maiden's Somewhere Back in Time world tour, which took them 50,000 miles around the planet playing 23 concerts on five continents in just 45 days. One of the stars of the movie is the customised Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which carried the band, their crew and 12 tons of stage equipment and was piloted by airline captain and Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson. The film gives a close-up, behind-the-scenes look at what happened on and off stage.

I believe it's part of a 'Metal Night' on BBC4...

Nope this is the previous evening. So you are getting two doses of Da Maiden in two days! I might just reel in the years myself

interested to see what ye think of it.
Bought the dvd and enjoyed the live performances of course but the "backstage" stuff was sterile.
Thought that it was really limited and did not really get a feel for the lads at all, bar Nicko they seemed to want the bare minimum to do with the cameras.
If you are interested in the dynamic off stage between the lads you will learn little here............

Still glad i bought it though as they are legends.

As a Maiden fanatic I really enjoyed the movie (saw it in the cinema & bought the DVD) but I do see your point about the backstage stuff, it didn't tell me anything new about the band themselves.

The live performances are top notch though...

yeah peter didn't mean to put it down or anything just that with the personalities in there i thought it would have been a lot more natural.

Amazes me now when i think about how marginal we rockers were in the 80's and now everything on tv has a heavy soundtrack.

I was in elverys sports the other day and feckin ac/dc album playing!!!!


I'm old.......:(
