Synopsis
In 2004 Rush celebrated their 30th anniversary together in style, by undertaking an extensive world tour, and performing the classic songs that catapulted them to stardom. The show included here is taken from their date in Frankfurt, Germany, and sees the band shaking off their advancing years to perform a set packed full of energy.

Customer Reviews

Another great release
I deliberately avoided the Deluxe version of this, I can live without the picks and the backstage passes....what can they be worth personally if you did not collect them at a gig. I've probably got enough live Rush CD's too. I was a little concerned that maybe this was a DVD too far as well.

I needn't have worried. Excluding medleys there are only seven songs on this DVD that were on the Rush in Rio set and it's great to see classics like Between the Wheels, Subdivisions and Red Barchetta get an airing. Overall the sound is different to '...Rio,' less bassy, a little less heavy, but a bit more crisp and sharper. Lets face it every album Rush release has a different production and, as with those releases, a few tracks into the show it just seems right.

The Drum solo's great as usual, but he mesmerises throughout the whole set.

The filming is great too, you don't miss a thing, catching all the band members at the right moments. The energy level seems high too so there's never a dull moment....and they do this without having to flash between different shots every second which some DVD's are prone to do.

With about 19 songs dropped from the '...Rio' gig it's not many bands that can play a gig and leave you without feeling like youv'e been robbed and Rush must be near the top of that list.

Hair-raisingly timeless!
As ever the musicianship is faultless, though listening to old vinyl records over Christmas I can't understand why Hold Your Fire has not had much of a live-look in in recent years.

But look at the interviews and the old "anthems". There's enough hair on the trio to give extensions to half the planet! And as for the clothes, in 2006 you have to ask WHAT WERE THEY THINKING OF?

Answer - the brilliant music they produced in that period - and since. Therefore, if you didn't get it for Christmas get it now.

Rush R30 quite amazing!!
Wow! This is an amazing DVD the sound is superb! Switch off the lights and crank up the volume! These guys are great musicians they are onstage for quite a while, Neil Peart,s drum solo is outstanding the 2nd disc is full of really informative interviews with the band members and there is some classic old tracks as well, its a very good quality live concert DVD even if your not really into Rush but you soon will be! Buy this you wont be dissapointed!!!
