Death on the Road is a live CD, LP, and DVD released by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden on August 30, 2005 (CD & LP version), respectively on February 6, 2006 (DVD version). It contains songs which were performed at Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany, on 24 November 2003 during the band's Dance of Death Tour (20032005).
During the first week after the album's release, it entered the national charts in several countries; Finland (no. 6), Sweden (no. 7), Norway (no. 12), France (no. 14), Italy (no. 17), Switzerland (no. 17), Spain (no. 18), United Kingdom (no. 22), Ireland (no. 27),the Netherlands (no. 39), India (no.29).
The DVD was released on February 6, 2006. It is a 3 DVD set, with the first DVD being the concert in 5.1 Digital audio, the second DVD being the concert in stereo, and the third DVD being special features, including the documentary listed below, and all promo videos from the Dance of Death album. Reportedly, the first DVD of the set is faulty in many cases, as two of the three guitar tracks' volume being tuned down, specificly Dave Murray's track.
The DVD set features a full 70-minute documentary directed by Matthew Amos charting the album's creation and the subsequent preparations for the following tour. The feature length program includes candid and personal footage of the band during the recording and writing of the album, which is the first time it's ever been filmed.
In 2005 when Edward the Great was re-released the recording of "Fear of the Dark" from this album was included.
The cover was by Melvyn Grant, and on the carriage are the words 'Edward and Son Undertakers', a reference to Eddie.
"Wildest Dreams" is a single from the Iron Maiden 13th studio album Dance of Death, released in 2003. The band began performing the song in concert before the album was released. The single also includes an improvisational jam from the Dance of Death sessions, as well as a remixed orchestral version of the Brave New World track "Blood Brothers". It is the band's highest charting single worldwide.
The music video is a computer animated short, where the band members drive around a desolate planet and into the mouth of Eddie (as depicted on the CD single cover).
At the beginning of the song, drummer Nicko McBrain can be heard counting off in an American accent.
The guitar solo in Wildest Dreams is played by Adrian Smith.

I'm sorry to tell that this editing sucks a lot! What did the director and the editor did here? Too much cuts per seconds, are they epileptic or what? We want too see them playing MEN, it's not a fucking shakira's clip!
Best Bruce's haircut indeed ;)
