Movie Reviews of Rush Chronicles - The DVD Collection
Movie Review: Excellent collection of all of Rush's videos from 1977 to 1988
Summary: 5 Stars
The Rush Chronicles DVD is a re-release of a VHS version which was released in conjunction with the Chronicles album in late 1990.
Chronicles is a collection of 14 classic music videos from what many consider to be the classic period for, what In the Studio host Redbeard called Rush, "Canada's Pre-Eminent Progressive Rock Trio" which was 1977-1988.
The original VHS version contained 12 videos which were:
1) "Closer to the Heart" (1977 promo which is unique to see the guys young and in bell-bottoms).
2) "The Trees" which is the 1978 in-studio performance in which they still had long hair but bell bottoms were replaced by normal jeans. In fact, the band also shot clips for Circumstances and La Villa Strangiato during this session but was not released until the R30 box set)
3) "Limelight" (the original 1981 Le Studio edit which is cool),
4) "Tom Sawyer" (on the VHS it was the version from Exit...Stage Left but on the Chronicles DVD you get the original Le Studio video version. Another video filmed from this session which was Vital Signs is not included but oh well)
5) "Red Barchetta" is from Exit...Stage Left concert film(to be released in June, 2006 on the Rush Replay X 3 set)
6) "Subdivisions" which was another MTV staple upon release and is a classic. Another video filmed during these sessions Countdown is missing but oh well.
7) "Distant Early Warning" (who can forget this MTV and rock radio staple which ruled MTV in the spring and summer of 1984 plus the image of a kid riding a missile classic)
8) "Red Sector A" (from the Grace Under Pressure Live)
9) "The Big Money" (short version which is good and was another MTV staple and a classic video)
10) "Mystic Rhythms" follows and is a great clip.
11) "Time Stand Still" is next and features Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday on backing vocals and the effects in that video were amazing.
12) "Lock and Key" closes the original VHS version with this underrated gem from Hold Your Fire which is a cool video.
On this DVD you get two additional videos that are included as "hidden" videos which were "The Enemy Within" and "Afterimage". While it seems to be a trademark that Rush puts these Easter Eggs into their DVDs (they also put some in their Rush in Rio and R30 DVD sets), it would have been nice to see these included as part of the chronological ordering of things.
Only other clips missing were the 1975 church videos of Fly by Night+ and Anthem*, the 1977 promos of A Farewell to Kings+ and Xanadu+, the 1978 promos of Circumstances+ and La Villa Strangiato+ (All of the above are either on Rush in Rio* or R30+ DVD sets), Vital Signs, Countdown and The Body Electric which have not been on DVD yet nor are their Atlantic videos.
This Rush DVD set is a must and recommended!
