Product Description
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. The 2-disc concert DVD is presented in both 5.1 audio and stereo, and also included is a bonus disc 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.

I love the array of songs on this one. They brought out a lot of lesser known songs from the vault: Entre Nous, Digital Man, and Mission--to name a few. I happen to be a fan of the 1980s era so this was great. Although, if you're a true fan of the 1980s, you might like the selection from Clockwork tour even more, since it's heavy on Power Windows album. (I was there at the live recording in Dallas, by the way!)
Getting to the video quality. This also takes first place among all Rush shows. Definitely get HD on Blu-Ray for the best experience. It's worth it. There is no graininess or bad focusing. The camera angles are steady, unlike some of them from Clockwork tour.
The band also seems to have enjoyed this show the most. Right off the bat, Alex plays a good intro to Limelight by holding the chord...as he waits for Geddy. Neil is also really into it. You can specifically see on the song The Larger Bowl that he gets into a groove and starts moving his head around from side to side as he cruises trough a part that really moves.
Even the small details on this disc are perfect. The pop menu feature for Blu-Ray is totally easy to navigate and convenient. Again, the best out of all Rush show discs.
If you're gonna buy one Rush show, this is it. I can't stress enough to GET THE BLU-RAY VERSION. I know this is a cliché, but you will really forget that you're not actually there in person.
There are some songs that the band played on this tour that I've really missed (Entre Nous, Mission, Circumstances come to mind)... Neil's lyrics have such meaning, he's got such a gift! The 2 names: Alex Lifeson & Gibson Guitars should become synonymous! Even some of the songs that have become too "commercialized" in my opinion (Tom Sawyer for one) had new life to me!
If you have a decent HD setup (I have less than $2000 invested in my whole setup - TV included - so it's nothing fancy), and you're a fan of the band - GET THIS BD - You Won't Be Disappointed! Excellent set-list, great audience & awesome performance combine for a "Can't Miss" BD! 220 Minutes Of Sheer Pleasure - Enjoy!
I wonder why more "Classic Rock" Artists / Groups (I have disdain for that term!) haven't put out material in BD??? Considering the picture clarity of BD, perhaps their wrinkles will be too apparent?
I ALSO WONDER WHY THIS BAND ISN'T IN THE ROCK 'N ROLL HALL OF FAME??? - Definite Conspiracy!
From an audio standpoint, this new release is the best of the 3. Just the 2-channel PCM mix blew me away with its clarity, balance and punch. The picture is stunningly sharp, as good or better than R30. There are plenty of cameras on hand to capture the band's brilliant stage set (love those descending lighting rigs). A few too many S&A tunes strung together in set 2, but plenty of gems like "Witch Hunt" and "Bangkok" help balance it out.
The main problem with this DVD? Editing. It's good for the most part. But there is one camera angle from crowd/floor level that the editor WAY overuses. Frequently, this camera pans directly behind a row of heads in the audience, obscuring your view of the band on stage...sometimes even when Alex is soloing! Once or twice during the show might not be so bad. But as many times as it's done, it becomes distracting and highly annoying. Seriously, I see the backs of peoples' heads enough when I'm AT the show; please leave that shot out of the DVD that people are paying $20+ for. Also, the mix of shots is sometimes a little extreme. One second, we're on a closeup of Geddy singing...the next second, we're in the very back of the hall and can only hear him singing. I like active editing to a point, but this one occasionally jumps around too wildly at the wrong moments (R30 is superior from an editing standpoint; the bonus Atlanta clips are also better edited). The closeups of the band playing though (when we get them for more than 2-3 seconds) are excellent, so like I said, it's good most of the time.
Top reviews from other countries
It's not an easy to listen type of music for the first time, and the setlist features more songs from the then-current album (Snakes and Arrows) rather than the big hits. But this three guys play wonderfully and it is amazing to watch and listen them.
The picture, the sound and the editing is absolutley brilliant. The main concert is nearly three hours long, and there is almost an hour of extra materials (some missing songs like the 2112 Medley, Trees, etc), a humorous mini-movie,and outtakes of the rear-screen footages.
Rush are, in my opinion, easily one of the greatest bands in the world. They've got an amazing guitarist, an amazing bassist, and the greatest living drummer in the world. While other bands from their era are missing members, or are just a bit past it, Rush are still on top form with the same lineup they've had since 1974 - and they haven't run out of ideas, either. They're incredibly tight live, and for just three of them, they make a hell of a lot of noise. They're touring Europe in 2011, but until then this blu-ray goes some way to capturing the atmosphere, the electricity and the sheer rock majesty of a Rush live show. Worth it for Neil Peart's drum solo alone. The gig is there in full, plus there are a few extras to provide an encore on demand. Some live videos, I feel, you can only get one or two viewings out of before the novelty value wears off, but Snakes and Arrows Live is a disc I can see myself putting on quite a lot. A perfect companion to Beyond The Lighted Stage [Blu-ray] [2010 ], also an easy 5-star winner.
