Alex Lifeson: gushes about blu ray

A great interview by soundandvisionmag.com... just a snippet:

Did you have it in mind from the outset that you were going to do concurrent DVD and Blu-ray releases of Snakes & Arrows Live?
I think we all assumed from the beginning that since we were shooting the shows in HD that we were going to make it available on Blu-ray as well, yeah. I got myself a Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-ray Disc player a while back, and I find it’s hard to go back and even watch anything that’s not Blu-ray. It’s remarkable, it really is.

What sold you on Blu-ray as a format?
The first Blu-ray collection I watched was the fantastic Planet Earth series. The clarity of detail was astounding, and I sat there shaking my head in disbelief. Not too long ago, I watched The Dark Knight, and that was quite impressive as well.

And watching Snakes & Arrows on Blu-ray, boy, you see everything — the saturation, the color, the depth, the perspective. We had some really great camera angles that lent themselves to such an intense experience.
