Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to view this new concert video. The sound is incredible, they did an excellent job on the mix. The video quality is top notch. But what can I say it is Rush and that pretty much guarantees perfection every time.
I have not seen the video, although I have enjoyed Rush many times in concert. Unfortunately, I think that the music/lyric quality on Snakes and Arrows is abysmal, the worst Rush album ever!
Snakes And Arrows musically I think is something of a return to form. I find Thsalmon's comments baffling-it is far superior to Vapor Trails and is arguably their best album for decades.
I agree with Ben. Vapor Trails was, ouch, a Rick Rubin style recording made when it was popular for recordings to be "noisy." Metallic's St. Anger was similar. Rush has made some fantastic recordings and they have a wide body of work available to compare. Snakes and Arrows is not bad soundwise.
Yup I have to agree about the recording of Vapor Trails, a little to noisy for sure. Unfortunate as this is one of my favorite albums ever! Incredible writing and incredible playing. Have any of you heard Snakes and Arrows on vinyl??
Yes, I have the MVI and enjoy that two. It sure would be nice if they rereleased all the Rush on Hi Rez and Vinyl. By the sounds of it you probably have Permanent Waves on vinyl too. What a treat that one is. I sure would like to see A farewell to kings redone. I listened to the vinyl version last night, this one would be awesome. I think my original copy may be a little worn.
I can not believe you have the 2112 numbered version of this. You lucky duck!! Hold on to that one it will be worth as much as 0001 some day if not more...
I have all the mofi gold cds, not sure if you had a chance to check out my little theater but it is a total dedication to rush.
The pics are all custom made here locally for me. I have taken posters and did whats called a canvas transfer. The Test for Echo on was a promo poster I got when the album came out from a record store. The other TFE was one I actually tore off the hoarding down town Vancouver when I was walking back from the concert.
I believe the 2112 print is still available here, I would have to check though.
I have the three mofi's Moving Pics Signals and 2112. As well I have the new permanent waves mofi on cd and vinyl.
Picked this up yesterday. The band continues to improve the sound quality of their DVD's. I watched it twice last night. S&A's is the best studio album they have come out with in 10yrs. Back to basics. After, I threw in the Exit...Left DVD to bring me back in time....You can never have too much RUSH.. A true band, over thirty yrs together and a catalog of work that most bands of today could never dream of accomplishing!
The original ESL footage was actually taken from both the Permanent Wave and Moving Picture tours for both the album and the video which first came out on VHS. I agree there is too much talking and editing. I saw them at Madison Sq Garden on the S&A tour, they are one of the few bands that deliver in the studio and live...
I caught this tour live back in June. Excellent concert! They played all of this album and most all of their biggest hits. I'll be getting my Snakes and Arrows DVD real soon!
