Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) announced today, January 17, 2012, the release of “EN VIVO!,” a new live Iron Maiden Blu-ray, 2-DVD set and double soundtrack album, on Tuesday, March 27, in the United States.
"EN VIVO!" was filmed on April 10, 2011, in front of over 50,000 fans at the Estadio Nacional, Santiago, Chile, during the Round The World In 66 Days leg of The Final Frontier World Tour.
Bass player and founding member Steve Harris stated, “For The Final Frontier Tour, it was really important to me that we filmed in South America as we're always so overwhelmed by the fans' reaction when we go to that part of the world and I wanted to reflect that in the filming. After much consideration, we chose the Santiago show as we felt it was one of our best performances of the entire tour and to play at the prestigious Estadio Nacional was a landmark moment for us.”
“This show also features the gigantic new Eddie. He wasn't due to make his appearance until our European leg of the tour later in 2011, but we managed to transport him across the sea in a special huge container just in time for the latter end of the South American dates, so it was great we were able to immortalize him for the DVD as he really has to be seen to be believed,” Harris continued.
The concert was filmed digitally using 22 HD cameras and an octocam (a flying camera which captures aerial crowd scenes), recorded in both stereo and 5.1 audio and mixed by Maiden's longstanding producer, Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, all of which serves to accentuate the incredible atmosphere of this compelling performance.
