Anybody seen this documentary? It chronicles their 2008 Somewhere Back In Time World Tour and the logistics involved.

I never knew that lead singer Bruce Dickinson was the damn pilot who flew their Boeing 757 named Ed Force One from city to city. I guess it just surprised the hell out of me for some reason.

The plane carried the band , 72 support staff plus all the stage set up freight around the world. Up the Irons!

It was pretty good but I would have liked more of traditional documentary on the band. Bruce owns an aviation consulting company now and makes a lot of money from that. He flies everything from Boeing 747s to WWI era biplanes. He knows a lot about planes and aviation in general.

Can't believe you are just now seeing it. It got tons of press coverage back in 2008. I saw Ed Force One on the tarmac in Newark one time. This year, the have a 747.

Revelations live from Australia is majestic.

I still contend that Maiden are a top 10 business success story of all time.
