The History of Iron Maiden - The Early Days (2x DVD5)

This 2-DVD set chronicles the first part of the Iron Maiden story - from their beginnings as a group of teenagers in London's East End through their huge breakthrough third album, The Number Of the Beast. Included is a fantastic collection ... Full Descriptionof rare and previously unavailable live footage, TV appearances and promos, and a feature-length documentary with band member and other Maiden collaborator interviews. Rare footage includes Live at the Rainbow (1981), Beast Over Hammersmith (1982), Live in Dortmund (1983), Live at the Ruskin, and Heavy Metal (1981).

Iron Maiden rose from humble beginnings in London's gritty East End to become one of the most successful and influential bands of the new wave of British heavy metal. Formed in 1976 by bass player Steve Harris, Maiden's ferocious blend of hard riffs and macabre subject matter earned them a cult following that culminated in the release of their self-titled 1980 debut. But it was the arrival of near-operatic lead singer Bruce Dickinson that propelled the band to worldwide fame with their third and breakthrough album, 1982's THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST. This documentary chronicles Iron Maiden through these early years and lineup changes, offering interviews with band members, promo videos, television appearances, and a series of rare live performances from early-80s concerts at The Rainbow, Hammersmith Odeon, Ruskin Arms, and Germany's Rock and Pop Festival.
