I remember vividly when this live video was first launched early eighties, I had the beta version of this. I liked this set and it was in competition with my other collection: Genesis "Three Sides Live" which was issued around the same period. I watched this video altogether with friends as I did not have the video player (pity me).

It's an excellent show with all members had a long hair. My favorite tracks were Tom Sawyer, The Trees - Xanadu and YYZ. It's regretful that my other favorite La Villa Strangiato which was featured in the CD version of the show is not featured in this video. But overall, it's a good performance by the band. Geddy Lee moves his positions frequently while singing and playing his bass guitar. Neil Peart doing his machine-gun drumming. Alex is rocking the stage.

Keep on proggin'

GW - Review #305

This is a wonderful old film from the tour that represents RUSH's live playing skills at their best. The moving pictures gives a nice addition to the sense of aestethics, and it's very refreshing to see and hear good stuff from the 80's. During that time the band wrote perhaps their best songs, and the old numbers from the 70's get the best treatment they have ever got. Dig out your old Commodore Vic 20 for few games of Pac Man to reach the ultimate sense of time after watching this!

Last year Rush was in Holland and there they prooved again that they are one of the greatest progrock bands, what a skills, visuals, energy and .. pleasure. After 30 years Rush playing together it's amazing what a tight unit this 'powersymfo' trio is, incredible! If I compare the actual Rush to the Rush on this video, I have to admit that there was in those years (I've seen them many times between 79 and 87) more magic and more pure musical excitement because Rush sounded so unique and they were so talented: that very moving guitar-solo (fine use of the tremolo-arm) in "Limelight", the great changing of climates between acoustic and electric in "The trees", the great buiil-up and stunning grand finale in "Xanadu" (spectacular view on the twin-necks from Geddy and Alex), the magnificent interplay in "YYZ", it all shows how exciting it wastoo witness Rush during a concert. Not only musical but also visual, Rush used funny cartoons, an advanced lightshow and it was great to see how enthousiastic Rush did their performances: you got the idea that every concert Rush gave 100% for their fans and they played material from every era. So fans from the heavy period were screaming and yelling together with the fans from the progressive era, wonderful! This is perhaps not the best live-footage but to me it's such an emotional experience because it evokes so many good memories.
