Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The title says it all really because those of you that have R30 or Rush in Rio might be thinking 'why do I need this?'. Well, firstly it has a load of songs which are not on those DVDs, secondly Geddy's voice sounds better than ever (and is for once well up in the mix), thirdly the band play a blinder (this is even better than R30) and finally the sound and picture quality is the best yet (some dates on the British tour weren't so hot sound quality wise - don't judge this by them). The Snakes and Arrows cd of course is heavily featured and some Rush fans have been a little lukewarm about this latest cd. But most who stick with the songs end up loving them (which just makes it a typically Rush album!!).

Format:DVD
We've had quite a few live dvd sets from Rush recently but this is my far and away the best release of their career for me.
This is class from start to finish. The band are on top form, the timing is impecable, and they really do look like they are having a great time.
The camerawork and picture quality is superb throughout. The set starts with Limelight, the band bathed in white light, and that has to be the best picture I have ever seen on a live dvd. Probably any dvd.
There is a lot of older material here Circumstances, Digital Man, Entre Nous and A Passage To Bangkok that the band haven't played live in a while. A sprinkling of tracks from the new cd along with concert favourites like Tom Sawyer, The Sprit of Radio and Subdivisions.
That a lot of this music is 25 or more years old and still sounds great is testament to how good this band's back catalogue is.
Some of the band's quirky humour doesn't always work on me, but it does show the band have a sense of humour and can laugh at themselves a little.
Though when the concert is finished proper and the band has left the stage for good the sight of Geddy in his best Scottish attire announcing on the big screen "Thank God, that ****'s over" is priceless

Format:Blu-ray
Just thought I'd write this to let potential buyers know that there are NO audio sync issues with this excellent Blu-Ray.
Audio sync is a new problem with LCD/Plasma TVs. This happens because of additional video processing that the TVs go through. So, if you are watching normal TV using the speakers on the television this isn't a problem as the internal audio is delayed to "catch up" with the picture.
Problems arise when you take the audio from the Blu-Ray player and hook it up to an A/V amplifier as the audio is then not delayed and is out-of-sync with the picture. I suspect this set-up is familiar to the people that have noticed the sync problems as it's noticed more with music than movies.
There are two solutions:
1. Take the audio feed from the TV to the A/V amp using phono connections, but you will only get a stereo or at best a pro logic signal (no DD or DTS)
or, 2. Check to see if your player has an "Audio Sync adjust" setting in the player's menu (I know most Sony players have this so I'm sure other manufacturers will too).
Hope this is of some help. The Rush disc is excellent and I wouldn't want people to be put off buying it if they thought there were going to be problems.

Better than being there
Brilliant disc, this is may first blue ray disc, and I am not disappointed. Bought a 46" G20 Panasonic plasma TV and of course needed a Panasonic Blue Ray to go with it. Read more

Rush's Snakes and Arrows BluRay DVD
Rush's Snakes and Arrows Tour BluRay DVD is absolutely brilliant and I would recommend it to any Rush fans or anyone into bloody good music.

almost as good as being there
I bought this while somewhat inebriated, but I can honestly say it's the best drunken purchase I've ever made, and I'd do all it again, given the chance. Read more

Amazing!!
Rush keep on demonstrating year after year what is to have expressiveness, talent, knowledge and ease in the stage, that is to say, to be a musician!!

Must have
This is a definite must have for any Rush fan, great quality picture, top notch sound and great track selection. On the strength of this, there can be no tighter band in the world!

Too Late for a Good Show
In opposite with the incredible CD albums of Rush, this Blu-ray disc is a disappointment. They are too static on the stage, and they are too static in their playing, especially the... Read more

Fantastic!!!
Got into Rush in the 80's but then lost interest. Read the reviews on the dvd which are very positive so thought I'd give a try. Read more

Rush at Their Best
The first time I saw Rush was at the Liverpool Empire in 1979. Seen them on every tour in UK since, except S & A, had tickets but had to sell as my wife was ill in hospital. Read more
