Well I just finished watching the Blu-ray version for the second time and I am even more impressed by it!
The footage is excellent and the sonics really take advantage of the hi-rez multi-channel format to make you really feel like you are in Rotterdam at the show.
As usual, all three guys are outstanding and each has their moments, but Neil Peart really steals the show!
After watching/listening to him perform in this concert, you will understand why he is routinely listed as one of the best rock drummers in the last 50 years!
The set list is a nice mix of old favorites as well as some of their newest material (which actually isn't half bad and is some of their most aggressive recordings in the last 20+ years). While you won't hear some RUSH fixtures such as "Closer to the Heart", "The Trees", "Xanadu", etc... you will hear killer versions of "A Passage to Bangkok," "natural Science", Red Sector A", "Witch Hunt", "YYZ", and "Limelight".
If you are RUSH fan, this is an automatic buy.
If you are a casual RUSH fan or just want to see and hear a well recorded concert this is a good place to start.
