Recorded in Rotterdam during the bands' 2007 World Tour, this 2CD set is Rush at their best.

From the opening riff of the opening track Limelight' you know you're on to a good thing, and it just gets better and better. They may have been around for 35 years, but they STILL deserve the tag of Power Trio'.

The new studio album Snakes And Arrows' takes pride of place on the set with excellent renditions of Workin' Them Angels', The Larger Bowl' and Armor And Sword' to name but three of the eight or so tracks culled from the disc. Geddy Lee's strident voice cuts through the music like a scalpel and Alex Lifeson's guitar work provides a well, it can only be described as a "force" of sound; and not forgetting the drumming maestro that is Neil Peart (the drum solo on the Grammy Award-nominated Malignant Narcissism' just has to be heard to be believed!).

Let us also remember that these guys are excellent musicians; their instrumentals like The Main Monkey Business' and the closing track YYZ' are true musical meisterwerks.

Thankfully, they have not forgotten their vast heritage and we are also treated to Rush "classics" such as Freewill'. The Spirit of Radio' and Tom Sawyer', plus going further back in time for A Passage to Bangkok' from the 1976 album 2112'.

We may not be getting as many studio albums as we used to from the Canadians, but they certainly make up for it in the quality of their live recordings.

Keep em coming - that's what I say!
