I just got it for Christmas, thanks to my lovely wife. 🙂 Quite a treat! A few old interviews showing questionable yet contemporary fashion choises by the lads, a hilarious 1994 Juno Hall of Fame segment, some old clips that I had never seen, and an all around top notch live show on DVD-1. Haven’t been able to crack any easter eggs yet, so if you have tips, please post them here. 🙂 Anyone else have this DVD? Like it?

Any woman that gives her husband a Rush DVD for any reason needs to be honored, loved and cherished…ADORED!!! “Lovely” wife is indeed correct! She is obviously irrevocably and hopelessly in love. As to the OP, I haven’t seen a Rush video since Live in Rio; is this one as good as that? They seem to be still as cool as ever (which is hypercool) and the music is just as great. You tell us-how is it? ---

Sadly, I don’t have it yet. But I will shortly. I hope it’s available in town. ---

Cool! I didn’t know this DVD was out yet. Now I know how I will spend some of the cash I got for Christmas. If someone could tell us how to find the easter eggs, that would be great. I am never very good at finding them on my own. ---

Is any of it in 16:9 aspect ratio? ---

> [@Sam Stone](#): > > Is any of it in 16:9 aspect ratio? I’m not 100% certain of the terminology, always get it mxed up. But I do believe the 1st DVD (the concert in Germany) is widescreen, which I believe is what you’re asking. 🙂 Since I don’t own a widescreen TV, I’m not 100% sure. ---

I also received it for Christmas, but I haven’t gotten farther than the first disk. I think the concert footage is great, but it is very similar to the Rush in Rio show. The clear novelties really are the cover songs, a slight reworking of the drum solo, Jerry Stiller, a great medley at the beginning, and “Between the Wheels.” Also, _danke shoen_. These aren’t the only differences, but the overall impression is very similar. It’s still great, and you’ll want to see it if you’re a fan. Why oh why do they not perform “Peaceable Kingdom!” And yes, **Sam Stone** , the concert is in 16:9 ratio. ---

Disc 2: At the menu with ‘Interviews’ and ‘The Anthem Vault’ press the right button 3 times to enable a new menu item, ‘Rush Hits St. John’s’ It’s just documentary footage from the Power Windows tour, apparently there was a petition to get Rush to play in St. John’s Bay or something. ---

Disc 2, from the main menu select ‘Interviews’, then at that menu press right until you highlight ‘The Anthem Vault One’. Press right 3 more times, and the silhouette figure on the left becomes ‘Alex’s Interview For Artist Of The Decade’.
