Ghostnotes Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 I got mine at G.C. and looked at the price and was like WTF???? Then looked further down and saw the runtime was 7 1/2 hours and was like holy crap,took me 3 days to get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'm an hour into the second disc. I know nothing about music, let alone drums, and I'm still getting a lot out of it. Not only am I learning some basics about drumming and how Neil does what he does, but I'm getting an appreciation for how a Rush song and show comes together from his point of view. I've read interviews with stage crew, Alex, and his gear manufacturers, so I had a bit of their perspective, and now it's nice to get Neil's. Now Geddy needs to do a video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I got it last month using the CD Universe/Guitar Center price match discount. It took me three days to get through it also. I love it. I've only seen it twice though because I've been derailed by the Time Machine DVD. Listening to what Neil says is a highlight for me. I'm not sure if this is a DVD where I would watch from beginning to end again. But I can easily see myself revisitng all of the chapters on a regular basis.

HowItIs Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I've only got through 2 of the discs. Absolutely LOVE it! It's great to get the build-up about the song and then see it from an amazing POV. The sound mix is rather fun - of course the drums are at the front but the back can be interesting. For example, at the end of Marathon you can barely hear Ged at all but you can sure hear Alex (who sings quite well, TYVM). And I just love Neil's voice. He should consider doing VOs and narration.

Can-Utility Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 7 1/2 hours? I've read novels shorter than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Got a...um... copy of it and loving every minute of it! Usually I don't succumb to the whole "narrative" and "drum cam" footage, but I've been systematically going through it and wow! Talk about some great stuff! I wish I had this back when I was trying to learn to play his stuff...it's inspired me to go revisit some of it here and there.....pause...run to the drum room....try the licks! Pretty cool!

hannuFIN Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Got mine today from Ontario, with Neil's "Far and Away.." book. I find this of more interest than Time Machine DVD (which I haven't actually gone through..because I felt bit disappointed and wasn't on that mood..maybe have a new try some day ; ).. 30years after ESL..can't actually believe this..(remember still 1981 so well). Neil is so lively, so nice hear when he talks and play drums. Hard to follow, have a try someday when you are 58. Kiitos Neil and Merry Christmas 2011 !

angel in my armor Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Got it...love it...very well done in my opinion.Well thought out as the description and breakdown of the played examples...great sound too I might ad...and the live footage of the isolated Neil shots are excellent...two thumbs up!!

PW_Guitarist Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think it's his best so far. It was most interesting, even for non-drummers, or even non-musicians. The insights he gives on how the songs were created and performed are priceless. Also, great timing with the Time Machine tour where he talks about all the great classic songs that were played. "A Work In Progress" only focused on the T4E "Freddie Gruber" era, and "Anatomy of a Drum Solo" only touched on the R30 solo, but this one covers so many aspects of performances from different eras. Also, I just like to hear the guy talk. He should record audio books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostnotes Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I was actuality going to wait to learn BU2B and Caravan until the whole album was released.But after watching Caravan done in rehearsal, i changed my mind. It's not overly complicated but it really and finally hooked me after actually seeing it performed. Also you can see how much sharper he is later on live if you play them back to back.

yyzyy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I got it. It is definitely great, but it's a bit too long. Neil loves to talk! Also, too much overhead camera for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember what song it's in that the video freezes momentarily. The audio seems to be okay. I didn't worry about it too much because it was the only instance of it happening, and it doesn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't worry about it too much because it was the only instance of it happening, and it doesn't last long. The double layer DVD allows for a lot more information on the disc, but the image will freeze briefly when the player switches layers. I was hoping for a Blu Ray, but it was probably too costly. I'm guessing that Neil's DVDs are being bought by a limited audience. I wonder what the sales figures are for any of his DVDs compared to the Rush shows.
