GeddysMullet Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Every time I see this trailer, I hope and pray the editing is better on the actual DVD. I have to assume that's "trailer editing" we're seeing. As birdsong said, they're trying to cram a lot of info into a couple of minutes. I think the boys learned their lesson about overediting after the nearly unwatchable Rush In Rio DVD. The editing on the Time Machine disc was particularly good. "This is a trailer" is a terrible excuse for bad editing! If anything, a trailer wants to put the best foot forward, not look like some slapdash thing thrown together by someone who just barely knows how to use iMovie. I agree that the Time Machine DVD was very good, as, for the most part, was Snakes And Arrows, but this video was done by a different company. And actually, the reason I'm worried is slightly less because of the trailer, and slightly more because I heard an interview with the head guy from the production company that did the DVD, and along with not seeming to really know what he was talking about, he also enthusiastically endorsed that trailer as if it was actually good. We'll see. At least the audio mix sounds good, that's really the most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, most trailers these days -- for movies, concert videos, whatever -- are edited that way. Short attention span editing is annoying, but it seems we're stuck with it.

Union 5-3992 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Similar trailer style, yet had a few longer scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffyshirt Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OswYwv5ga58 Similar trailer style, yet had a few longer scenes I listen to the Time Machine Live album almost daily, I love the setlist. But man oh man, it sucks that Geddy had to have a cold on THAT day. His voice is just brutal on some of those songs, especially ones like Time Stand Still and Closer to the Heart. Closer is damn-near unlistenable, which was very sad. The drums were also recorded pretty lousy on that album, which was a bummer. I still love it though.

HILARIOUS!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 And another thing... I wish there were no close ups of fans jamming to the music. I want to see the band, not the fans. I know the crowd is part of it, but nothing makes me cringe like seeing someone having an orgasm over the music. Just film the large crowd monster and leave it at that please.

Retrospective Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 They must include the Body Electric. I went three times and crossed my fingers and got no Body Electric. I demand justice. :madra: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They must include the Body Electric.They played it at the Dallas show and like some people had already mentioned here, the Dallas show is apparently going to be the "main" set they'll use for DVD so you'll get your wish!
