everyone is a sell-out compared to rush.

Love the music, can not stand Geddy Lee's voice. Like nails on a chalkboard. I know I'm in the minority on that one.

Jeremy, treat yourself to Rush in Rio.

Ged has mellowed with age.

Take my word, you'll love it.

i have that dvd, btw.

p.s.
the purists may call me a heretic for saying it, but "roll the bones" is my favorite rush song.

Big Rush fan here. I have to say RIR is not my favorite in terms of the sound quality but the crowd enthusiasm is undeniable! I've seen them live about 10 times dating back to 1980 and they're still amazing though Ged has lost his upper register for the most part. They just released a concept album based on steampunk and it's pretty damn good IMO.

What sort of "purist" are you talking about?

I have heard a few new songs, and admittedly they're not bad. Classic Rush, I can hack about 2-3 songs, then it gets on my nerves. Undeniable musical talent though. They really are incredible musicians.

RIR grew on me from the beginning, but I think that band, in that venue, in front of that crowd, with all the problems they encountered, is the best (however imperfect) concert ever committed to disk.

Rush, live, has an energy that was never captured by their studio stuff.

Jim, any of the problems you encounter with that disk can easily be overcome with the application of copious and excessive wattage.

TURN. IT. UP.
