Album Notes Recording information: The Ahoy Arena, Rotterdam, Holland (2007). Since returning from an extended hiatus that began in the late 1990s, Rush have become quite the concert tour documentarians. Previously, the band spaced out their live offerings, making each significantly era-defining. SNAKES & ARROWS LIVE marks a new trend with the Canadian progressive rockers, who have now released three multi-disc live sets in just five years. Also worth notable mention is the trio's most recent full-length (2007's SNAKES & ARROWS), getting the lion's share of focus and comprising a full third of the set list. Clearly this is a testament to the group's confidence in and enthusiasm for their newest material. As for the other tracks included, Rush dusts off "Circumstances" (from 1978's HEMISPHERES), while curiously excluding any songs from POWER WINDOWS (1985) or PRESTO (1989) on this outing. Principally staying faithful to original arrangements, the band presents flawless performances, much to the delight of the Dutch crowd in attendance for the two shows represented on LIVE. Forty years after their inception, Rush show no sign of slowing down or resting on their laurels. | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||
Reviews This is a great CD if you like Rush. The songs do not sound like their studio stuff, but they are great examples of their current concerts. I just went to see them at Red Rocks and wanted something to remember that concert, and this CD set is perfect for that. Review ID: 10000000008300863 Was this review helpful?

Report this review I will not be able to be an impartial reviewer on this cd as I have been a Rush fan since 1980. With that being said, if you have heard or seen Rush live you know they strive to replicate their songs exactly as they recorded them. The only difference between the live version and the studio is the crowd and arena ambient sound which will on occasion drown out some of the intricacies of the music. They are professional; they come out and play and don't do a lot of talking. There are about six songs on this cd from their newest album which is an exceptional work. All and all, these guys are some of the most talented rock musicians out there. If you like the excitement of a live performance you will enjoy this one. However, if you want to hear the technical nuances and the true crispness of the music try getting the studio version. Review ID: 10000000006846939 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
