Rush: Roll the Bones R40 tour in Toronto

[JimK]

Thanks, Dave.
Always 'liked' & respected Rush. I am becoming a 'fan'.

When I first heard Rush-
Guitarist in my HS garage band had their 1st two LPs (1974-75?).
At the time, Zeppelin was one of "my bands". So, hearing Rush at the time...meh...they're copping Zeppelin's vibe.
In late '75-'82...for me, it became Jazz-Jazz Fusion & R&B/Funk (my Jazz-Nazi daze)-
I did not listen to any Rock during those years...so I have a big gap goin' on.

In lock step with the other Rush thread (Why Don't Women Get This Band?)-
Last night I watching (again) The Time Machine Tour; my wife comes in & sez "...his voice is annoying; I can take maybe 1-2 songs then I'm done".

Yep, Ged should have stuck with the P. That sounds awesome.

The sound of him playing the P bass is phenomenal. Instantly my favorite Geddy tone since the Signals album. Makes me wish he'd been using that all this time since then.

There is a R40 live DVD set from the Toronto concerts coming out in November.
I'm a huge Rush fan, but really? ANOTHER live DVD set?

I hear you, but I honestly haven't liked the sound of their recent live releases. They sound harsh and thin to me. This, on the other hand, sounds magnificent - much thicker and warmer than other recent live vids. The camera work also looks very nice. So while I haven't had any interest in their last several live vids, this one makes me want to see more of it.

Cool...glad to hear.

FWIW, I'm digging these 4 "recent" Concert DVDs. The sound, IMO, is good...far better than many of my "older" '70s Concert DVDs.
What Rush Concert DVD(s) would you recommend?
