Rush

Beautifully Rotterdam-shot complement to the audio document earlier this year turns on judicious camera angles and editing, which allow you to actually watch one of the all-time great trios ply its craft ("Witch Hunt"). Old pug nose Neil Peart plods precise, Geddy Lee sings at lower latitudes, and an ever well-manicured Alex Lifeson cascades ancient riffs smoothed down into almost progressive blues. Age has liberated the guitarist/comedian. Snakes & Arrows LP cuts torpedo the second set/DVD, while a third disc fries up some 30 additional minutes onstage in Hot 'Lanta. Live lights: Hemisphere's "Circumstances," new instrumental "Malignant Narcissism," encore "A Passage to Bangkok." Retire please: "Mission." Concert video accompaniment outtakes are a genuine hoot (mon), while "Digital Man" as the second number remains an inspired piece of set-listing from 2008, just like at the Frank Erwin Center in April.
