Updates and other random Rush stuff
Outside of the tour, the big news this past week was the release of the Snakes & Arrows MVI. For details and fan reviews, check out this post.
For last week’s poll I asked you what the highlight of the setlist was (excluding S&A songs). For the results click here (*** SPOILER ***). Since the MVI release was this week I’d thought that for this week’s poll I’d ask you what you think makes the MVI worth buying (or not worth buying). Take the poll and let us know what you think.

Tour Updates June 28, 2007
The tour rolls on. Nine dates down, over 50 left to go. The setlist has remained constant from show to show and from all the anecdotal evidence attendance has been great. Pollstar.com currently lists the tour at #3 on their top 50 list. People are constantly uploading their photos to the tour gallery so go check it out if you have a chance - there are some great photos in there. I’m also adding bootlegs to the tour bootleg videos page as I come across them. If you come across any on YouTube or have your own, let me know. The Digital Rush Experience (DRE) is continually updating their database of bootlegs from the Snakes & Arrows tour; there are currently 10 boots cataloged. And if you’re wondering how you can get your hands on one of these bootlegs please check out this blog post at the DRE.

Snakes & Arrows MVI officially released today June 26, 2007
Finally! After numerous delays the Snakes & Arrows MVI is here. It was originally scheduled to be released on May 15th but continuous production delays kept pushing the release date back. It finally began to ship from various vendors last week and many fans already have it in hand. Today is the official release date. Here is the description of the MVI from the Rush Backstage Club:
Rush has recorded Snakes & Arrows on a new format called “MVI” (Music Video Interactive disc). Another name for this is the “DVD-Album”. With a higher storage capacity than a standard CD, the MVI is loaded with exciting new features. Superior sound quality plus a wide range of video features and interactive digital content combine to bring you closer to the artists and their music. It plays in all standard DVD players, computers and game consoles with DVD drives. The MVI includes the full album in 96kHz/24 bit hi-resolution stereo audio and a 5.1 surround mix, plus bonus video and digital content. Although the MVI disc will not play in your CD player, the audio tracks are pre-encoded for easy transfer to your computer, portable music player, or recordable CD. Digital music files are compatible with all MP3 devices. Please note that this MVI will not play in CD players.

Since seeing the first live pics of Alex during the Snakes and Arrows tour I wondered what Alex Lifeson’s bevy of plastic fans had written on the post it notes they were holding. In the following photograph you can make out most of what they say (which is written below). Here”s the flipped pic of Alex Save it and zoom in a bit to see.
Here”s what the notes say: “I like the drummer” “My Grandpa Says You”re Cool” “Can I Roll Your Bones” (not sure) (not sure) “I was Conceived While My Dad Was At A Rush Concert” “Hmmmmm ?” I can”t make out two of them. Trying to find another pic where it may be easier.
