Fantastic doc covering one of my most beloved metal acts. If there was any doubt in your mind how valuable Steve Harris is to the group, or how ugly Nicko McBrain is (sorry mate!), or how totally f'n awesome Bruce Dickinson is, then you own it to yourself to check this out.

I give it my highest recommendation! Up the Irons!

This Iron Maiden BR are verry stunning image quality and DTS true Hd deliver more than i imagine . I recommand this BR for all who like ultimate quality .

Certainly the most ambitious rock tour ever. Great tunes and behind the scenes normally associated with rockumentaries, but the shear size and logistic of this tour has to bee seen to be believed. A must for any Iron Maiden fan.

In my opinion this is the best Iron Maiden tour ever, therefore this is the best live recorded DVD. I recommend it all the way. Not only the songs are great but also the sound & the video are great.

This is a fantastic piece of recording. I've seen it at least 3 times now including once in the cinema.

There is much more music than there is glimpses of the inner workings of the band, but you can only respect that. The guys are still all about the music and would obviously prefer to keep most of the other stuff to themselves. How often do you see that?

The footage is terrific and I couldn't be happier that it all ends with the gig which I had the privilege to attend.

I'm glad Maiden went along with this and then had the final say during the cutting/editing process. Still, a great job by the creators too. Of course it's hard to stay objective when you are making a film about one of your favourite bands, but at least they did it tastefully.

I highly recommend this DVD. If you are ever to get a live dvd of Maiden, then I'd say this should be the one. Enjoy!

Flight 666 The Film follows the band during their Somewhere Back In Time tour in the 23 concerts the band were plaing. Being a huge fan of Iron Maiden, when Flight 666 came out this June along with soundtrack of the film(the live songs on disc 2)I had to buy it. This film was said to be showing the band's life on tour and everyone who knows the band know that they are private to a certain point about their lives. Here they are showing the fans what it's like to be in the band or working for the band. And I haven't been disappointed, I've been surprised on how complete it was as it goes into details and there are interesting stories from the countries they played during the tour.You have to understand first that Iron Maiden is not your average band. No other band has a lead singer who also pilots the band's own private plane during a tour across five continents. They are also respected everywhere they go and they have influenced many bands of today.

You have to admire them for staying down to earth people with their success and for the fact that they have many good songs and albums. They are an entertaining onstage and fans will find out just like I did that they are as much offstage. Capturing the intensity of band on tour is not an easy task but Sam Dunn's team (for those who don't know him, he made the Metal - A Headbanger's Journey and Global Metal documentaries which I would recommend watching if you are a fan of rock n' roll music or heavy metal or whatever YOU want to call it) just did that, I'm glad they were the ones who did this documentary as someone else might have screwed up. Oh and this is not about Dunn it's about the band.

The purpose of the Somewhere Back In Time tour was to offer their increasingly younger fan base those classics song they might not have seen the band perform before. This means for the band going back to the classics, for this tour they performed songs like "Rime Of The Ancient Mariner"(Bruce Dickinson said it was his favorite song to perform during the tour) and "Can I Play With Madness". They always played their old stuff but this goes further into the songs they didn't play, of course the tour still featured songs they always play like "Number Of The Beast" and "Fear of The Dark". The stage set was even reminiscent of the one used during the Powerslave tour mixed with a little of Somewhere In Time, it looks very good. The live footage shown in this film will likely blow you away, the band sounds amazing.

It also shows people talking about Iron Maiden and their stories are interesting to hear. For instance the Priest who has many tattoos of the band and claims to be their biggest fan. Or someone saying just how much an Iron Maiden concert means to them, for how long they've been waiting etc. It may sound boring here but it certainly isn't. You see the road crew, how they build the stage, the fans nearly making a riot at a hotel where the band stays. It seems everyone was having fun during this tour, everyone smiles and tells jokes, fools around or something, you see that the band enjoy each other's company and they still like selling out their concerts all over the world.

Iron Maiden has always been exciting to watch and this DVD is another reason why. You also get another disc of the 17 live songs used on the Flight 666 soundtrack; the songs have been picked from different cities so each song is different from another. The film shows a good part of this disc already but if you only want to watch the live part it's nice to have. I have it and I've watched it already a good dozen times and each time I find it as good as before. Live After Death is the best Maiden concert DVD but Flight 666 is a great look at the band and is just as good. If you're a fan this a must never before has Maiden been shown this way, it's hard to believe just how good it is. It's hard to describe but if you are a fan of the band you just have to see this.There two versions the special edition has a better booklet, I own the standart edition as it was what was available to me.

Great music and great concert footage. I would have liked to have seen more behind the scenes material but if you are a Maiden fan you will not be disappointed.

A must-buy for Iron fans.
The film that shows backstage and the flight is the best!
Very good video and audio too.
