Filmed over two performances in Rotterdam, Holland in October of 2007,Rush’s new DVD Snakes & Arrows Live captures the legendary band in peakform, performing classic Rush material and nine new songs from their critically acclaimed 2007 CD Snakes & Arrows.
Bonus footage of four songs added for their 2008 American tour,including “Ghost of a Chance,” filmed here for the first time. Since the release of their eponymous first LP in 1974, Rush has continually expanded the definition of “progressive power trio.” Guitarist Alex Lifeson, bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee and drummer/lyricist Neil Peart combine dazzling virtuosity, laser-beam intensity and unbridled creativity to create a cohesive whole that’s infinitely greater than its parts. The Toronto-based group has become one of Canada’s leading exports, with a catalog of genre-defining releases including 2112, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Vapour Trails and Snakes & Arrows and a live show which combines musicianship, showmanship and multi-media effects that engage all the senses. Following their previous best-selling DVDs Rush in Rio and R30, Snakes & Arrows Live presents a band not resting on its considerable laurels but still earning its reputation as one of the world’s best live bands – one night at a time
