Rush In Rio

Legendary rock trio Rush return with the release of a three-disc live CD, entitled 'Rush In Rio'. Preceding the group's first-ever live double-DVD, the sets capture all the excitement of the band's 2002 tour of North and South America. One of the largest-grossing tours of the year, the itinerary found Rush performing before hundreds of thousands of fans throughout Canada, the United States and, for the very first time, in Mexico and Brazil. 'Rush In Rio' was recorded and filmed at the Maracana Stadium in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on the final night of the tour in front of a spirited crowd of over 60,000 people.

The three-hour concert includes songs spanning the group's entire 30-year career - from the mammoth guitar riffs of 'Working Man' (from Rush's debut album) to the contemporary crunch of their latest rock smash, 'One Little Victory' (from their critically acclaimed 17th studio album, 2002's 'Vapor Trails'). All of the great Rush hits are present, including 'Tom Sawyer', 'The Spirit Of Radio', 'Closer To The Heart', 'New World Man', 'Distant Early Warning', '2112', 'The Big Money', 'Freewill', 'YYZ', 'Dreamline', 'The Trees', and 'Limelight'. Also featured is a special never-before-performed acoustic version of 'Resist' from 1996's 'Test For Echo' and an updated awe-inspiring Neil Peart drum solo ('O Baterista').

In addition to the entire live performance, which was mixed by James 'Jimbo' Barton (Metallica, Godsmack, Eric Clapton) and guitarist Alex Lifeson, both the DVD and CD packages include special bonus materials that will appeal to both new and long-time Rush fans.
