Rod in Toronto Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If you ask me, I think R30's setlist and overall performance are MUCH better than S&A. But it's good that you'll get both. I feel that when Rush decides to put out another live DVD, they should try to avoid songs that have a gazillion different registers live already: TSOR, Tom Sawyer, YYZ, Limelight...why not focusing on rarities, odd setlist choices and new songs from now on?

I agree although I think many fans who haven't seen them live a lot would be disappointed if they didn't do Tom Sawyer and Closer To The Heart. Same with Spirit of Radio. They do have to take those fans into consideration too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygXanTor Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Granted, there are a million live versions of TS and TSOR, but these songs are staples. How does a band not play their biggest hits? Not everyone has heard the million different live versions that we have. I guess you could say these are necessary evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mong82191 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I think RiR's verasions of TS and TSOR are better than both R30 and S&A Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Barchetta Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I liked the mix and Ged's bass tone better on Snakes and Arrows Live. Especially on "The Trees" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'm not saying they shouldn't play these songs live...I'd hate to see a concert without Tom Sawyer. But it doesn't have to be on EVERY DVD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying that for a while now. Variety. You could keep ONE of the 4 you mentioned, and the concert would not be disappointing in the least.

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I've watched RiR a bunch of times, but so far only seen the first half of S&A live and only skimmed through R30. I know Rio has less-than-perfect sound, but the energy more than makes up for that. Maybe after the shows I'll sit down and watch the rest of the newer DVDs.

Also, I've always thought it would be cool if the whole thing was filmed from a single stationary camera, positioned to take in the entire stage and light show from a straight-on, centered angle.

The original version unfortunately contains an abridged version of the concert because they didn't want it to be completely reminiscent of the Rio DVD.

However, the blu ray DOES contain the entire concert, and that is the version I have. That's why I was mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way; when you go to a live performance, you sit or stand in one general area. If you're in the right spot (dead center), you can take in the entire show all at once, or focus on something in particular at you own discression. You don't have that same kind of control when watching a concert video shot from 17 different angles, edited together, all (or most) mistakes and glitches removed, to suit someone else's vision of how that show should be experienced. Also, I disitnctly remember there being songs missing from the live dvd's mentioned that I'm 100% sure were played at the shows I attended.

But then, I still live in the Stone Age, and have yet to up-grade to Blu-Ray... I can see where you are coming from, but I found find it extremely boring to watch a concert DVD from one angle. It is different in a live situation because you are actually there in person, taking in the live experience. However, when you are at home sitting on your couch, it is an entirely different scenario. The DVD needs to keep you entertained, because if you were watching from one angle the whole 3 hours, you get bored quite quickly. At least I would. And get up and get yourself a blu ray player grandpa! And yes, all those shows I mentioned have the entire concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
