Summary: RUSH ON DVD - AT LAST!
Review: (...). These visual explorations of Rush's music are 'of the time' - which is to say that when they were first seen, they were completely fresh and quite innovative. For the true Rush fan, the never before released version of Tom Sawyer, filmed at Le Studio, is an absolute treat! I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD and it is wonderful to skip from track to track without fast-forwarding/rewinding or worrying about the quality wearing down (my VHS copies of Rush videos are barely viewable due to repeated viewings). Get yourself a copy of this disc asap and witness the power of old Rush videos that look beautifully polished and sound crystal clear - on this essential DVD. More Rush on DVD please - how about the Different Stages tour?

Summary: Um...Ok.
Review: I learned a valuable lesson after buying this DVD... Rush make [...] videos! Now, don't get me wrong... their music is AWESOME and I'm actually a huge fan... but how many times do I really want to sit through all their low budget and usually uninteresting music videos...?!?!? Most of them are just painfully cheesy and uninteresting...Admittedly the best parts of the DVD collection are really at the beginning with their early songs when RUSH just used performance and studio footage for their videos... I wish they would have followed that path through the rest of their career... Be warned: It's a nice video for historical purposes, but not particularly artistic or entertaining.

Summary: RUSH "Chronicles" DVD
Review: If you are a RUSH Fan, please feel free to purchase this DVD. Soon VHS Tapes will be out like Vinyl Records. It is Great that RUSH have not been forgotten. After All these years of RUSH music and the directions the Boys have gone, the NEW "RUSH" CD will be out in MARCH 2002! Alot of you Fans say you got lost after the 1980's. That is the way the music goes. We are Very Lucky to still have Geddy, Alex, Neil around today. No matter what Era you grew up with RUSH, these Canadian Gentlemen will still do what they do BEST and play ROCK N' ROLL!!!!

Summary: RUSH ROCKS
Review: Although these are the same video Rush fans have been viewing for over a decade or more, it is still a must for any Rush fan. These videos are still classics and there are two bonus videos on the DVD for the songs "Afterimage" and "The Enemy Within" This is a must for any RUSH fan that owns a DVD player.

Summary: Ahh, the memories!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed watching this collection of Rush video clips. The choice of tracks represents a good variety, following the band through a large span of its musical growth and evolving styles (i.e. brands of instruments, dress, appearance and stage presence). The videos from "Moving Pictures" and "Signals" brought me back to my high school days when I first started listening to the band, and I couldn't help but smile at the memories. I am not an audiophile, but I found the sound to be clean and crisp opverall. It was interesting to watch the video production quality progress with the clips from each subsequent album, although some of the dated video effects can be described as cheesy at best. Still, I guess that's part of the collection's charm -- after all, it is a chronicle of Rush's video history. I highly recommend this DVD for any true Rush fan. There aren't any spectacular extras here (although the "bonus" tracks are a nice addition), but for Rush, I think it's always been about the music first and foremost, anyway.

Summary: Made me smile!
Review: So glad to own this DVD. I love Rush, and I was so happy to check out these videos. ... Now let's see some more Rush DVDs of Exit... Stage Left, A Show of Hands, and Tour Under Pressure. (I think that was the name of it?) The perfect DVD to check out during the wait for the next CD/tour.

Summary: Dissapointed
Review: First off, I'm a huge Rush fan...every record, every taped concert, I even have my own bootleg recording. Having said that, I must confess that I'm dissapointed with this DVD. As for the videos, there's not much to say about them. They're the same ones that appeared on the VHS version (with a couple of *hidden* videos, more on that later). The videos for the older songs are not much more than the guys playing, either by themselves or at some concert. What really dissapoints and makes me mad is the fact that they didn't include the newer songs. Granted, it's not like there's 15 new videos to include, but why couldn't they add something more recent like other artists have done (i.e. Bruce Springsteen). Those *hidden* videos (Afterimage & The enemy within), are not really hidden...just play all the videos, and they will appear at the very end... I have to agree with a previous reviewer...I'm angry at the fact that this doesn't include anything new, not at the band -- they still rule the Earth...

Summary: Primarily Rush's '80s Mercury years catalog
Review: I'm a MAJOR Rush fan, having seen them some dozen times over the years starting with twice in one year on their Farewell to Kings tour in 1977. That's the Rush I fell in love with -- the one that created side-long epics like 2112 and the classic Cygnus X-1 and its follow-up, Hemispheres. Sadly, my interest began to wane after Signals and almost totally petered out by the Power Windows and Hold Your Fire era, which was in large part their entire '80s catalog. I began to gain new respect for Rush when they released Roll the Bones, Counterparts and Test For Echo, however, and now eagerly await the new album they're allegedly working on. Like previous reviewers, I own the videos Exit Stage Left and Grace Under Pressure Tour 1984 and have been waiting -- along with all other fans -- for their first-ever DVD release. Well, Chronicles The DVD Collection is out. And I have it. And it's really nice to see these music videos again, but -- as I said at the beginning -- I'm a fan of the older material. I liked Geddy Lee's Rickenbacker bass and Alex's cream colored Gibson ES-355 used on the Farewell tour! The sound and picture quality are just about right, given what this collection is. You won't get perfection and it won't do you any good to whine about pictures and sound that aren't pristine. All the big hits are here. It's fun to watch vintage Rush. (Check out the hair styles slowly getting shorter with each video...along with the instruments changing from Gibsons and Rickenbackers to Fenders and Wals.) I couldn't ask for more regarding this collection. It is what it is. It's great, in fact. If you ask me what I'd LIKE to see, however, it's entire concerts on DVD, some from as long ago as their Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres period right on up through to their Test For Echo tour. Music videos are fun and interesting, but it's the live performances that really brought out the best in Rush. So, please, let's see some Rush concert DVDs released in the next year or two!

Summary: RUSH CHRONICLES DVD....NOT BAD.
Review: I JUST RECEIVED THE RUSH CHRONICLES ON DVD AND I HAVE TO SAY, IT'S VERY GOOD. I HAVE SEEN RUSH IN CONCERT NUMEROUS TIMES, THE FIRST BEING 1978 FOR THE "HEMISPHERES" TOUR, AND THIS DVD COMPILATION BRINGS BACK A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES. IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS RUSH FAN AS I AM, YOU CAN'T LET THIS DVD PASS YOU BY. BUY IT AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. IT IS RUSH, PURE AND SIMPLE. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN, YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE IT TO REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Summary: I just love Rush, but this could be better
Review: OK, I know, it's Rush, you may say there's nothing else to say. But for me the only thing that made me happy seeing this video was the "new" Tom Sawyer version in the studio. I mean, what are they waiting for to produce something new, or to take old videos from previously albums and put all of them on a new one? 11 years after the last video release (and it's the same!), I can say that the quality of the band has nothing to do with the quality of the videos...
