Rush - Snakes & Arrows Live DVD

Sign in to disble this ad
WOOT!!!!!

Been waiting for this day for MONTHS!!! Ran out over lunch to pick it up.

I've only had the chance to watch bits on my computer through my office speaker system (decent one with a good sub), but so far !!!

Sounds like a great mix, the camera work is different from past work (you get a much more intimate feel with the band on stage)...and the boys ROCK!!!

So yeah, I'm

It's $12.99 on Amazon right now, and I only paid $14.99 at Best Buy. This is a no brainer!

It is broken up into 3 DVDs, the in-concert videos are there (including the South Park intro to Tom Sawyer), and the third DVD contains the 4 songs they added for the second leg.

You can't beat it for twice that price, but at $15?

If it's anything like the R30 DVD, it's great.

R30 was killer. Wish that would come out on Blu Ray.

I went to HMV today to pick up my copy of Cynic's "Traced In Air", and saw the section for this DVD, but it was empty. Maybe they had a bigger display of them and I didn't notice. Anyways, I grabbed the Fantomas/Melvins Big Band DVD instead.

You know this isn't just a Blu-Ray release, right?

It's too early to say. I've listened to it twice. It took me a few listens to dig Focus also. Right now, I'd maybe give it a 7.5 out of 10 rating. I'm liking it, but not loving it.

I just got this yesterday (finally!) and I was blown away. IMO, Best DVD they've done, period. All the extra stuff they added is just great too. Alex is such a clown! LOL!

I have to agree. I mean, I LOVE all their other DVDs, especially Exit Stage Left, but this one just stood above the rest for some reason. All great songs, great recording, great camera-work, just great everything!

Just received it yesterday.
Watch the first 9 songs from Disc 1 and is fantastic.

I own all of their previous releases and this one is my fav by far (well, ASOH is one of my all time favs too).

Geddy`s tone on the Freewill solo is the best I`ve heard with his Fender.
