Nobody else found the editing excrutiating?

I can't believe someone actually praised the horrid jump-cuts on this disc. If Steve Harris edits the next DVD I won't be buying it. He did a good job on "Maiden England". Why didn't he stick to that formula. This was terrible. Was he pissed at Bruce? He took away his dramatic re-entrance during "Dance of Death". You don't even see him while he's singing wtf. I worry for anyone who actually liked the bad editing. I was going to say I was shocked that Harris was saying what a great DVD this was and that they should have fired the editor - then I found out Harris WAS the editor. Can't fire him. Rod should talk to him. There's no way the whole band (especially Bruce) and their management could have liked the mess that became of this show. I am a huge Maiden fan, but I am not a lemming. I won't salute to their excrement - even if they are my favorite band.
Leave the production to the profesionals, don't micromanage everything. At some point you have to trust others to do their jobs dude.

I bought the DVD a few weeks ago and the editing SUCKED! I agree with you on it, I loved the concert but TOO MANY JUMP CUTS!

I completely agree with you. It gives me a tiny bit of a headache while watching it, because once I focus on one image, the camera cuts to someone else for 2 seconds, then someone else, and then someone else. It really makes watching it non-enjoyable, so all I do with it is let it play and do something else. I wish it would have been like all the other Maiden DVD's, where for a number of seconds it sticks on something. But there are seriously so many damn times where it cuts from one shot to the next with less than 2 seconds in between cuts.

I really want to enjoy watching Paschendale, No More Lies, and Journeyman, but they make it so god damn annoying.

The editing is absolute garbage. Harris needs to reign in his ego, and stick to song writing and bass playing. The DVD is unwatchable and I won't buy it.
