Customer Reviews

Super: One of the Best DVD Concerts I've ever saw
Great picture quality, Great sound quality, Super Concert and breathtaking!

Above all it's my DVD for testing the performance of my Hi-Fi system ;)

Best ever Rock Live DVD
Like they are playing in your own living room. Crisp, rich sound, vivid colour, fantastic camera angles and editing. A masterpiece. The only DVD on a par is Led Zeppelin's DVD of a few years back. I haven't listened to Rush in about 15 years. I was a massive fan in the 80s and 90s as a teenager and I had all their classic albums - Pictures, Grace, Signals, Hemispheres, Kings, and saw them twice at Bingley Hall, Stafford in 1979. This DVD brought all the memories flooding back and made me fall in love with Rush's music all over again. Long live Rush - the best Rock three piece ever. (And don't get me started on Neil's drumming...I was a drummer as a kid and Neil was my hero. Watching this DVD, I can only shake my head in disbelief at what I am seeing and hearing.)

Rush of Blood to the Head
Catching Rush's 30th anniversary tour in Birmingham, this is a welcome reminder of that night. I initially balked at hearing of yet another kive presenttion form this band after Different Stages and Rush in Rio, but I'm glad I circummed. The CD double is of much better quality than the Rio CD adn the DVD picture quality is superb. A little disappointed not to get the whole show, but understandable as those bits are on Rio anyway. The archives are great and the interviews illuminating with the benefit of hindsight. If you're a Rush fan you'll love this. The artwork is also trully superb.
