This review is from: Rush: Time Machine 2011 Live In Cleveland [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Over the course of the last several years, Rush has subjected their audience to an avalanche of live DVD releases (Not to mention an insane number of compilations) to the point where any Rush fan could get dangerously annoyed with their material of late. The DVD releases ran the gamut of promising but short efforts to outright documents of their sleepwalking live performances. Almost ready to give up, I watched 'Time Machine' and was pleasantly surprised. This DVD is an excellent production. Beginning with a conceptual video of the 'true' and hilarious origins of Rush, the video moves into Rush's performance in Cleveland. Maintaining the steam-punk theme throughout the show, Rush presents an energetic performance, filled with powerful musicianship, and playful interactions with the audience. And the audience shots for this show reveal a crowd that is an enthusiastic as the one that attended the 'Rush in Rio' show. Beautifully shot, well-lit, excellent sound, Rush finally got it completely right.
