ALone in the the middle of a third-class roster, Maiden really was the best act in the Rock in Rio III festival, realized in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in January, 2001. They proved for their critics that they still have a trick or two to teach the mediocre bands of nowadays. So, why am I rating this one star? Because there's absolutely no reason for a Maiden fan to buy another compilation from them. In recent years, we had a lot of live albums by Maiden, more the compilations Best of the Beast and Ed Hunter. That's it: I don't see any reason for this product to exist. They should at least have recorded one more studio album with the reunited line-up. Sad, Maiden. Rod Smalwood is never satisfied with the money he's making...
