Painful

Watching this show made me feel very sad. I saw them on this tour when they came to St. Louis and they were great. The sound was great, the show was great, and though you could see all 3 of them struggling, they managed to keep it all together and keep it great all the way to the end. This Toronto show they recorded at the end of their tour however, this is deeply painful to watch. I found myself at the intermission point not wanting to go on because I didn't want to watch these 3 great artists struggle so much any longer. I love this band, they have given us 40+ years of their blood, sweat and tears, and I appreciate it all... but I don't want them to put themselves through this any longer for my benefit. Let's be understanding that all things must come to an end and just let them go now. What am I talking about? Alex had pain face through most of the show! Geddy was struggling so bad to hit the notes in their old songs that sometimes he starts to look like a crazy old lady shouting at the top of her lungs! Hand that man a rolling pin! And Neil... oh man. I remember watching Exit Stage Left in the olden days and thinking how amazing and accurate and untouchable and unshakable he was. This final show though, you could see him barely keeping up with the frantic pace of the show. He was like one of these 102 year old men running a marathon and showing up at the finish line two days late. The man was in pain! You could tell! He kept it together relatively well, but even that was for nothing since the horrible mixing job of the show decided to totally leave out most of his drums! Let's all just salute them, remember the good times, and put on Exit... Stage Left when we get a hankering for some live Rush. Love the guys, all 3 of them, along with all their ideosyncracies, but the past is gone now. If this show is any indication of what they'd be like if they stayed together and continued, then just let it go.Vollständige Rezension lesen

A quality production but where are the drums?

This is a good production with good high def video. Any Rush fan has to have this as their last concert and the career spanning set list. My one complaint, and it is a common one, is the drum mix is turned way down. At first I thought I had my audio set wrong as all I heard was the arena reverb from the drums but that is the way it is made. Were they mad at him for ending the band? I don't know but all of the punch Neil works so hard to put into his playing is missing. It is like they turned off the drum mics and just used the house mics. Such a shame. Clock work angles has a much better mix but being their last tour with songs from their entire career this Blu ray is still a must buy.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Good capture of Rush's final Tour

Very good show from the final tour. Well thought-out production- roadies are regularly changing out amp setups with the final set with one of the amps elevated on a vintage chair to simulate the early Toronto school days. Visually excellent. Very good sound, however, Neil's drumming is somewhat lower than usual in the mix.Vollständige Rezension lesen
