 Iron Maiden: Rock in Rio - PopMatters Music Review
And in 1999, while I was rediscovering great albums like Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind, the band announced their new lineup, including the return of departed band members Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith.
Rock in Rio is an album mainly for loyal Maiden fans; more specifically, fans who liked the Brave New World album (as narrow a target market as I've ever come across).
Rock in Rio also has a couple of multimedia features, excerpted from the upcoming DVD: a full performance of "Brave New World", and an enjoyable short "Day in the Life" documentary, showing the band's preparation for the show, as well as the aftershow gathering.

 slant // magazine.com: Music Review - Iron Maiden: Rock In Rio
Even some of Brave New World's studio cuts sound empty compared to their Rock In Rio performances, where the open gaps are tightly plugged by an absurdly enthusiastic sea of spectators singing along.
As a result, Rock In Rio is exactly what a live album should be—not merely a document of what went down but also a glaring indictment to its listener: "You should've been there, too."
This passion comes through on the live recording and any slack left by the band is amply supported by the throng of fans who haven't forgotten that Iron Maiden is one of the best metal bands of all time.

Earlier this year, I wrote a review of Iron Maiden's CD release of Rock in Rio, their January, 2001 performance which was recorded for both a live album and a special DVD release.
It turned out to be a pretty good live album, but when writing it, I wondered whether fans of the band would be better off to wait for the DVD to come out.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GI-GO
Terra In Bocca (CD Akarma AK 1023) is a concept album about crime and the mafia, supposedly based on an in-prison interview of some real-life criminal (this apparently led to the album getting banned from the airwaves in Italy), and along with New Trolls' Concerto Grosso among the first fully progressive album-length works in Italy.
Here the misnomer "rock opera" would for once be appropriate, as the album is one long suite (albeit broken into eleven separate tracks on this CD), driven by various spoken and sung vocals that range from softly melodious to snarlingly dramatic.
Albums between this and You show a natural progression towards the classic space space fusion of You which also has the influence of Steve Hillage on guitar.

Today, 5 years later, the show of Guns n’ Roses at the City of Rock promises to be a historic one, both for Rock in Rio and for Portugal.

The album had a very desperate atmosphere and it is an essential album for everyone who wants to hear the development of Israeli prog.
This live album featured Gronich on piano and vocals and Caspi on acoustic guitar and vocals and in spite of the scarce instrumentation, they managed to create a full and compelling sound.
This is a great and essential album equally influenced by the Symphonic rock of Gentle Giant and Yes and by the stoned Jazz-rock of the Canterbury scene, in spite of all of these influences they managed to maintain their own identity and are highly important band.

Iron Maiden is more than capable of producing a good live album, which was attested by "Live after Death" (1985), unarguably one of the finest live albums of all time.
One of the highlights of the album is "Fear of the Dark", possibly the best track of the "lesser Bruce albums" (these being "No Prayer for the Dying" and "Fear of the Dark").
