More information: During promotional interviews for the 2005 R30 DVD, Rush revealed their intention to begin writing new material in early 2006. While in Toronto, Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee began the song-writing process in January ‘06. During this time, Neil Peart assumed his role of lyric writing while residing in Southern California. The following September, Rush chose to hire American producer Nick Raskulinecz to co-produce the album. The band officially entered Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York in November 2006 to record the bulk of the material. Taking the band five weeks, the sessions ended in December. On February 14, 2007, an announcement was made on the official Rush website that the title of the new record would be Snakes & Arrows. The first single, entitled ‘Far Cry’, was released to North American radio stations on March 12, 2007, and reached No. 2 on the Mediabase Mainstream and Radio and Records Charts.
The Rush website, newly redesigned on March 12, 2007, to support the new album, also announced the band would embark on a tour to begin in the summer. Snakes & Arrows was released on May 1, 2007, in North America, where it debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with approximately 93,000 units sold in its first week. It also peaked at No. 3 in Canada and No. 13 in the UK, selling an estimated 611,000 copies worldwide. The planned intercontinental tour in support of Snakes & Arrows began on June 13, 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia, coming to a close on October 29, 2007, at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland.
Among the very finest shows played on the tour took place at the Stockholm Globe Arena, in the Swedish capital, on 27th October 2007 where the band performed a show which was recorded for Live FM radio broadcast, and transmitted throughout Western Europe and synched too in the US.
Previously unreleased, the full show now released on this new 2CD set.
