RUSH: Snakes and Arrows Live [Blu-ray]

Editorial Review:

Filmed over two performances in Rotterdam, Holland in October of 2007, Rush's new DVD Snakes & Arrows Live captures the legendary band in peak form, performing classic Rush material and nine new songs from their critically acclaimed 2007 CD Snakes & Arrows. Bonus footage of four songs added for their 2008 American tour, including "Ghost of a Chance," filmed here for the first time.
Since the release of their eponymous first LP in 1974, Rush has continually expanded the definition of "progressive power trio." Guitarist Alex Lifeson, bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee and drummer/lyricist Neil Peart combine dazzling virtuosity, laser-beam intensity and unbridled creativity to create a cohesive whole that's infinitely greater than its parts. The Toronto-based group has become one of Canada's leading exports, with a catalog of genre-defining releases including 2112, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Vapour Trails and Snakes & Arrows and a live show which combines musicianship, showmanship and multi-media effects that engage all the senses. Following their previous best-selling DVDs Rush in Rio and R30, Snakes & Arrows Live presents a band not resting on its considerable laurels but still earning its reputation as one of the world's best live bands - one night at a time.

Quality Music by Rush:

Some things age well. Rush is one. This DVD is wonderful, and shows how the years of musicianship have grown this group to the higher hights. The sound is great, the picture is excellent, and the atmosphere of the show is mesmerizing. Not quite sure about the roasted chickens though...kind of left me scratching my head. None-the-less...get this DVD and you will enjoy the best of this band yet recorded live!

The Pinnacle of my Collection:

I have been a RUSH fan since 1980. Have all of their CD's as well as all of the concert DVD's. Actually started with the "Grace Under Pressure" Laser and "Show of Hands" on VHS (Both very well represented on "Replay X3" DVD).
I, like most other long time fans, have a hard time warming up to the "newer" music, but still admire the tight musicianship and playing of all their music evolving over time. I also prefer the "studio" releases over "Live" also (least played in my collection is "All the Worlds a... more info

RUSH + Blu-Ray = Perfect:

I received this Disc, plus a Sony Blu-Ray player for Christmas from my Wife (both were at the top of my list). This is just an awesome concert video. I've been a fan of Rush for a very long time (circa 1980), but most of my friends at the time were more into the Metal Bands, so never found someone to go to concert. When I got to college I made friends with plenty of Rush fans, but as is the case in college money was lacking when it came time to buy tickets. Well, thank god for Rock Band. Rock Band... more info
