cygnify Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I personally find the 2.0 bluray mix to be terrible. The guitar is very present, the drums are buried deep in the mix (barely audible). It's one of the worst mixes I've heard in a Rush concert release film. I find Time Machine and Snakes and Arrows absolutely destroy this one. Sucks. I agree with point #1 - I was disappointed with the 2.0 sound on the bluray - drums are buried. However, I don't agree with points #2 &3 - Time Machine was even worse.

Hrmmm Im listening to Time Machine 1080P rip right now and I can hear literally every drum hit and tom fill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but my ears must be worse, destroyed or buried, the thing sounds good and I can hear every drum roll very clear. The seperation of the instruments is also pristine. I can't make out anything barely audible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I have no idea what anyone was complaining about. I just remembered someone whining about drums being too loud, but I didn't even notice that and didn't remember that being one of the criticisms until just now. As for Geddy's voice, the man still has it. I'm almost tempted to say that his voice is better than it ever was because he now sings on a more manageable level. When I heard him sing The Garden, I started crying. For me, that's a lot. Greyfriar is right. I think he is the one that said when you watch this, it is like watching home videos of your family that you haven't seen in a while. I don't mean to sound hokey or like a pop psychologist using psycho-babble, but this DVD has been a real bonding experience. With :rush: and everyone here! :ebert: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I was very unimpressed and a bit disappointed when I first watched this. I went to 5 concerts during this tour and didn't get the feeling of reliving it much at all like I have with other DVD's they've released.. Sound quality isn't the best and all the jumping around from camera to camera (long shots especially) gives a feeling of detachment. I'd put it about even with Time Machine even with poor Geddy's head cold vocals even though the picture quality is very good on the blu-ray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My very first impression, when it started, was "Good Lord, how they have aged!", but then, when Subdivisions began and sent me back decades down a memory lane I had forgotten about, Rush began to work their magic on me and, the longer the concert went on, the younger they got. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 In fact, they worked their magic on me to such a degree, that my respect for Neil has been renewed!!! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
