GP, you use that excuse way too much. People hate "No Prayer" because they group it with "Fear" and that was even worse. People hate "The X Factor" because they group it with "Vitual XI", and that was even worse. People complain about RiR's editing because they group it with DotR, and that was even worse.
Because of all the technical issues, I'd never even seen DotR until a few days ago, yet I've always been really annoyed with RiR's editing. Yes, people tend to notice small annoyances more when those annoyances cease to be small annoyances, and instead transform into malign flaws that permeate through everything the band do BUT, in this case, I think RiR is just poorly edited. I just tried watching "The Evil That Men Do" from RiR and couldn't believe how over the top the editing was. The song is already so intense, there's no need to give someone a seizure trying to capture that.
Since I've seen DotR now, I can say that, yeah-- it's even worse. There's not even a shot of Bruce singing a full line until like 10 minutes in. I just can't stress enough how happy I am that En Vivo had a director that wasn't named Steve Harris, that's all. Hopefully Maiden's best DVD is still to come, but for now I'm pretty damn satisfied with En Vivo.
