Prog-rock's dominant power trio Rush get a worthy showcase in Chronicles, a DVD
compilation that repeats the 1990 VHS release with minor variations and some
pleasant surprises. It's aptly titled, as the videos follow Rush's 30-year
evolution in fashion, performance and visual representation. Loyalists may wish
for a lengthier selection, but with remastered Dolby 2-channel stereo, this
63-minute disc clearly improves upon the VHS release. The in-studio performance
of "Tom Sawyer" is new (previous versions were from the Exit, Stage Left concert
video), and although hidden bonus videos of "The Enemy Within" and "Afterimage"
are inaccurately listed as "previously unreleased" (they appeared on the 1985
compilation Through the Camera Eye), their inclusion here is welcome (and
accessible by selecting the "Rush Chronicles" logo on the DVD's "Play Videos"
menu). Aimee Mann makes a playful appearance on "Time Stand Still". This is
recommended to Rush purists only, but on those terms, it's essential viewing.
