REPLAY X 3

This box is a Rush fan's wet dream, what a lavish package: 3 DVD's (Exit Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure and A Show Of Hands), a bonus CD featuring the Grace Under Pressure concert and the original tour programm books, layered with great pictures and interesting and funny notes! For me this box is a very nostalgic trip because I have seen all Rush tours on this DVD, I own the videos but the DVD is the perfect medium to enjoy Rush, what an enthousiastic band, what a skills, what a visuals (lasers, light-show, movies) and what an interaction between the band and the fans!

The DVD Exit Stage Left showcases a Rush that was inspired by the Seventies symphonic rock dinosaurs, especially Genesis. We can witness Geddy Lee playing Moog Taurus bass pedals and using Oberheim and Moog synthesizers and Neil Peart has extented his percussion to very massive proportions. The great track Xanadu epitomizes that Rush, the highlight is while Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are both playing on twin-neck guitars, Geddy on a Rickenbacker and Alex on a Gibson, magical!

On the DVD Grace Under Pressure we hear a Rush that is obviously influenced by rhythmic styles like ska and reggae and the music by The Police, the track Vital Signs is the best example, what a stunning interplay by the swinging rhythm guitar, bass and drums!

In the A Show Of Hands-era Rush has turned into a 'midi- controlled hig-tec orchestra', delivering a very lush and technically amazing sound like on the tracks Big Money, Marathon and Mission. This DVD is the most impressive one of all three featuring an exciting and sophisticated light-show, screen projections and lots of funny movies. One of the highlights is the compelling song Mahattan Project about the threat of weapons and war, how actual if you look at the developments in the Middle-East! Other highlights are the slightly changed version of Closer To The Heart (including the break with Alex and Geddy showing the Chuck Berry 'duck step'!), the drum solo Rhythm Method (how impressive and inventive) and the medely 2112/La Villa Stangiato (wonderful lasers)/In The Mood, a great example how Rush succeeds to please both the headbangers as the symphonic rock dreamers!

I don't see any reason to rate this outstanding progrock doucument with less than five stars!!
