Rush: R30

This is a great concert. Better audio than on "Rush in Rio" but the set-list and vocals are slightly lacking. still a very good Rush concert. despite being 50-somethings now, they are still fun to watch on-stage. There is one song from all albums except "Presto". best songs are "Xanadu", and "spirit of Radio" they have the tightest performance and are truest to the originals. The overture does justice to older songs that were good, but not good enough for geddy to ruin with notes he cant hit. its not his fault but it still sounds bad. A must-have for fans, and a good addition for rock concert collectors or rock enthusiasts. All should watch it at least once!

R30 captures some great performances and a whole lot of energy. It is recorded in hi-def and with great sound quality. Standout performances are found throughout the concert, but especially on Subdivisions, Red Barchetta, Earthshine, Xanadu, and Between The Wheels.

Go out and get it if you are a fan from their 80's-era, or if you're new to the band and learned about them from their more recent releases.

The recording focuses more on capturing the great light show as well as showcasing clear sound quality. Geddy's voice is front and center (unlike the recent "Rush In Rio" DVD) and the audience-level is rather subdued.

R30 is a "10" !

I enjoyed this DVD quite a bit. Awesome live performances. The sound is tight and a lot better than Rush in Rio. There aren't as many screaming fans this time though.

My favourite song easily is Subdivisions. Very well played and Geddy Lee's singing is top notch. A lot of the songs I didn't really like before, I grew to love because of this DVD. Rush should get a few awards. I always love to watch and hear them play live. They are pretty much the best live performers out there.

Definitely a great addition to any music DVD collection. A must buy if you're a Rush fan or new to their music.

10/10 it's the bomb.

These guys are excellent and anything they put out to the public is first class. The musicianship of this band is amazing and we should all be very thankful we live in a world where Rush exists. Future generations will never be able to see such mastery live and in person. Get this DVD and you will enjoy it throughly!! I was recently able to see these incredible musicians play in Houston, TX and was blown away. I have not missed a show since power windows and I have to say that they are better than ever. Everyone should embrace these guys and teach others what real musicianship is! There will never be such a tight and well put together trio again in our lifetime. Lets just hope and pray that they do not retire anytime soon!

I attended this show a couple of days earlier in Stockholm and was surprised and delighted to witness Rush give a knockout performance in front of some 17000 people. Surprised because of the huge amount of people attending the concert and because they played FAR better than on the charming, but disappointing "Rush In Rio". Songs like Subdivisions (the greatest song in rock/pop history!), Between The Wheels and Earthshine brought tears to my eyes, and Geddy Lee's singing were much better than on any shows of the 90's.

The R30, DVD concert were as good as the Stockholm concert with a few exceptions. 1. Between The Wheels and Subdivisions were better on the DVD. 2. Animate (the only real disappointment!), Resist and the drum-solo were better on the Stockholm concert. But that is what makes live music exiting, and R30 is still a big 10!
