DVD Reviews of RUSH: Snakes & Arrows Live
DVD Review: Great Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw Rush four times throughout the two different tour set lists. I do prefer this version.
I agree with most reviews and will not echo what they said verbatim.
I will say, even though another guy was ripped apart by some of you, that the audio is a bit off for me. At times the audio does clip, just a bit. In my opinion it was recorded just a bit too hot. Geddy's bass could be brought up a bit, but I cringe to think of that really treble'y tone that was kind of overwhelming in Rush in Rio.
If you listen to it at high volumes as most Rush fans will, you wont notice it. At low volumes, esp. if you compare it to the audio CD version, its just a bit hot (not much, just a bit).
They were much more fresh during this show as well. I can tell from seeing them in Hershey in 2008 that they were a bit road-weary by that point, so its good this was recorded earlier.
Visually it was good. However, I think at times the picture seemed a bit dark, esp during the lasers. I am not into HD recording, but I know from other DVDs that the picture seems to get adjusted for certain lighting (David Gilmour during Echoes on Live at the RAH- you can see the picture at the beginning was grainy, but the lighting was enhanced and more clear). From seeing the show, the lasers in the outdoor venues were much brighter than what the DVD shows. Witch Hunt was another example of this. The green just wasnt as bright as you would expect from an indoor show.
Hopefully the next tour, there will be some changes in the setlist. For me who is a younger fan, its great to have these recordings as keepsakes of the tours that I saw. On the same note, it shows many aspects of Rush's show that haven't changed. The dragon during One Little Victory, Dreamline lasers, the same lighting during Between the Wheels, Natural Science used the same DNA spinning on the screens from the Vapor Trails tour (and before you guys jump on me for criticizing the lighting saying its not product related, I would argue it is product related since visually we are seeing the same visuals from years prior). On a high note, they didn't play Roll the Bones this time.
I think the show does succeed in proving Rush is a great live experience. I found myself during certain aspects of the show getting that same thrill that I get when you experience these guys live. This also further proves the musicianship of these guys. It was a solid performance. I like that Rush doesn't seem to do the protools like other bands do to correct every little mistake (Pink Floyd was known for doing this, going back in the studio to correct pitches and correct mistakes for live recordings). Its also great they released the entire show this time as well unlike R30.
This is a great buy and a great value.
