Rush Clockwork Angels Tour captures the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers' 2012-2013 sold-out tour from a unique point-of-view approach to filmmaking utilizing distinct composition and a voyeuristic style that at varying moments puts the viewer on the stage, at the side of the stage, and throughout the arena. For the first time ever the legendary band (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart) was accompanied on this tour by an eight-piece string section!
The R30 2 DVD set features Rush's Frankfurt, Germany concert in September 2004 near the close of their 30th Anniversary World Tour. The performance was captured with 14 cameras in high definition and is presented in 16:9 widescreen format. Audio options include Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound or PCM Stereo.
Rush In Rio is Rush's first concert DVD, and it's a double DVD extravaganza with 28 songs, a documentary ("The Boys In Brazil", directed by Andrew MacNaughtan), and several multi-angle songs ("YYZ", "O Baterista" and "La Villa Strangiato"). To see Alex Lifeson (guitar), Geddy Lee (bass/vocals) and Neil Peart (drums) doing their Brazilian show in a widescreen format is a totally awsome experience. A mind-blowing, sensory-expanding experience to be sure.
Prog-rock's dominant power trio gets a worthy showcase in this DVD compilation, repeating the 1990 VHS release with minor variations and some pleasant surprises. Chronicles is aptly titled, as the videos follow Rush's 30-year evolution in fashion, performance, and visual representation. Loyalists may wish for a lengthier selection, but with remastered Dolby 2-channel stereo, this 63-minute disc clearly improves upon the VHS release.
