Movie Reviews of Rush in Rio

Movie Review: It Depends What You Like
Summary: 5 Stars

Note: This is the concert DVD of Rush In Rio, this does not contain the special features disc like on the 2 disc Rush In Rio set.

This Rush concert was filmed in Rio de Janeiro on November 23, 2002 during Rush's Vapor Trails Tour. This is an excellent concert and is definitely worth buying. The only question is: To get just the concert (this product), or to get the concert, a 50-minute Rush in Brazil documentary, and some multi-camera views of YYZ, O Baterista, and La Villa Strangiato (the original Rush In Rio 2-DVD set). I'm a big documentary fan so I would buy the original Rush In Rio, but for brand new Rush fans who just want a good concert, this is the DVD.

Rush In Rio was filmed on the last date of the Vapor Trails Tour. Not only does Rush's music make this a good show, you also have 40,000 chanting fans in the audience singing along with the music. Another Rush first is that this is the entire concert on DVD. In the past, a few songs were not included on the DVD, this time though you get 2 hours and 45 minutes of solid Rush music. 29 songs in total and they include:

1. Tom Sawyer
2. Distant Early Warning
3. New World Man
4. Roll The Bones
5. Earthshine
6. YYZ
7. The Pass
8. Bravado
9. The Big Money
10. The Trees
11. Freewill
12. Closer To The Heart
13. Natural Science

Intermission

14. One Little Victory
15. Driven
16. Ghost Rider
17. Secret Touch
18. Dreamline
19. Red Sector A
20. Leave That Thing Alone
21. O Baterista (Drum Solo)
22. Resist (Acoustic)
23. 2112 (Overture and The Temples of Syrinx)
24. Limelight
25. La Villa Strangiato
26. The Spirit Of Radio
27. By-Tor And The Snow Dog (About 4 minutes)
28. Cygnus X-1 (Instrumental part)
29. Working Man

This is a great DVD, so all you have to do is decide whether or not you want the documentary (which I highly recommend) or if you don't.

Summary of Rush in Rio

RUSH IN RIO - DVD Movie
Taped in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the final night of Rush's 2002 Vapor Trails tour, this set finds Canada's famous power trio giving its all for 40,000 of the most rabid Rush fans ever gathered under one sky. Sure, the guys are all pushing 50. Bassist-vocalist Geddy Lee strains to hit some high notes, and guitar wizard Alex Lifeson occasionally sounds a tad bored. But by and large they remain at or near the peak of their powerful game--and, from the looks of it, they're having more fun than ever. Drawing from 15 of their 17 studio albums and leaning heavily on Vapor Trails, they celebrate their stylistic range (progressive-leaning classic rock to dense but melodic post-grunge) and the far broader scope of drummer Neil Peart's considered lyrics. The Dolby Digital 5.1 or 2.0 sound quality is generally good, if overly compressed. Peart's drums sound fabulous, in fact: splashy and tight and far more natural than they've sounded on any Rush album, live or otherwise, in years.  --Michael Mikesell
