Dagger Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I bought the DVD version (non Blu Ray) from Best Buy, in the store, on sale, for $14.99 plus tax. The set list is awesome in my opinion, but I'm biased anyway. They could play whatever they want! Haha. The audio is great, and I haven't noticed any glitches with the video as I've read in other threads. They all seem to have a really good time performing for us fans at this venue. I really liked how Mr. Geddy 'indulges' on 'Leave That Thing Alone' and the 'attitude' you see on Mr. Neil's face after the jam session in 'Freewill'. Just awesome! My subwoofer really gets a workout on this DVD, and as mentioned before, the audio quality may be better than the S & A DVD, but I'm still comparing. I just wish we could get this audio quality on ALL their CD's. Don't know if the 'Mr.'s' read this stuff, but if they do, thanks for a great concert! I really do 'get it', eh!?

Godot Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Personally I love it. I have a few gripes with the blue lights and how they looked on the DVD, but maybe that's just me personally. I had seen a complaint about "Reversed shots" from somebody, and I will say I did see ONE and only ONE, and I wouldn't say it killed me to see it. I have to say that the showmansship that they gave in the DVD was extraordinary. By far, this has to be one of my favorites, not to mention it had an amazing setlist, and they all gave each song a bit of their own flavor. All in all I'd be lying to myself if I didn't give it a 5/5 for it Though I would have still loved to have had "I Still Love You Man" at the end, or at least the 80's version of Spirit of the Radio, although the Tom Sawyer music video in the extras gave me a kick.

presto123 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Like I said before their performance trumps any kind of minor complaints. During the solo in Working Man there is a point where all three are just tearing it up and it gives me goosebumps. That's the old Rush we know and love.

GeddyLeeLifeson Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I received my copy of the Time Machine DVD yesterday from Amazon. I could've gotten the blu-ray but what the hey. I got to see them for the first time with my pops (also his first) when they played at the YUM Center in Louisville and they rocked out loud! I like the DVD I'm glad all the songs are there and the funny videos cause my dad and I both enjoy seeing them be silly and making jokes. It was cool to see outtakes from the videos as bonuses. Also seeing the complete Tom Sawyer video with the changing people was fun to see. I guess I'm not as nitpicky or I don't keep a close watch as to edits and what not, but I thought it was a good sounding DVD and it looked nice and it's a nice sort of memento from that tour. I will probably be getting Neil's DVDs for X-mas as I blew most of my B-Day (Oct 28) money on other stuff. I did see his DVDs at the GC along with the Work in Progress and Anatomy (I do own that one) and the Buddy Rich Memorial shows with Neil. Overall I'm satisfied with the DVD and glad to have it!

rugen Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The blu-ray is good, picture, sound, filming,and performance. I am just bored with these songs : Leave that thing alone, Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Faithless, Subdivisions, Vital Signs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get bored with Subdivisions or Vital Signs. no way. Faithless, Caravan, BU2B, that's another story - but maybe they'll drop these for the next tour (although I don't really believe it in Caravan's case). And: Bring Back Red Sector A next time ...

Are you kidding. Caravan and BU2B are two of the best songs on the DVD IMO. The energy is off the charts. To each his own I guess. It's songs like Tom Sawyer and Limelight that I skip through.

reani14 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 my problem with tom sawyer and limelight is that he doesnt try to sing them like the album, he sings them the same way everytime. Listen to how he does them on the actual moving pictures tour. specially limelight. he sings it like the album.. after that tour. he started singing it too fast and diffrent..

chemistry Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I know I'm gonna catch he'll,but I'm sick of the entire moving pics album except camera eye and studio version of vital signs!

HowItIs Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Just watched the BR tonight. The sound is stellar. The picture... well, BR was created for this and shows concert footage at its very best. I didn't note any sync problems as others have. Maybe it's the way Hubby has it routed through the stereo (he IS a TV engineer, after all). Our subwoofer got a workout, too I loved seeing the songs that has been cut for the VH1 show, as some of them a among my very favorites. The extras... well, they could have added a lot more and another disc but we probably would've had to wait even longer. The outtakes were, as I suspected, hilarious but too short - I was just getting warmed up! I loved the Tom Sawyer with different "Rush" members (the cavemen are my favorites; Alex gnawing on the guitar is priceless!) and the old footage was properly nostalgic. Ah, the early 70s..... Very, very happy with this show disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hate Caravan more than Dog Years, but I can do with one stinker in the setlist - especially as so many here seem to thinnk differently about that song. And I'm not too fond of Limelight as well, but it's a staple. Great setlist, Great DVD! Great concert! Next time - GUP in full length ... Please ...

I don't think Caravan was that good live. There are too many layered guitars in the chorus on the studio version. The chrous sounds a bit thin they way Alex plays it live.

GeddyLeeLifeson Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I liked Caravan and I downloaded the single when it came out from itunes. I watched it with my dad who went with me to see Rush on this tour and as we were watching he said "What's the name of that song they're playing?" and I said Faithless. He said "I'll have to download that." I kinda like it but I was really glad to hear Marathon as I understand it was a quite a while that had been off the setlists.
