Live Performances On 180g Vinyl 4LP!
Never Before Released On Vinyl!
Pressed at QRP!
Following a nearly five-year break from touring, Rush returned to the stage in 2002 to support the trio's seventeenth studio album, Vapor Trails. During the tour, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart played to some of the biggest crowds of the band's career, including 40,000 people at the tour's final stop in Rio de Janeiro. That concert was released in 2003 as RUSH IN RIO, which was certified gold in the U.S. and Canada. This configuration of RUSH IN RIO is four 180-gram LPs. The set is presented in a heavyweight gatefold jacket and comes with a limited time code that allows the music to be downloaded digitally.
The collection includes all 29 songs that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers performed at the concert in Rio, plus two bonus tracks that were recorded at other stops during the Vapor Trails Tour. "Between Sun & Moon" was recorded on September 27, 2002 in Phoenix, AZ and "Vital Signs" was recorded on October 19, 2002 in Quebec City, Quebec.
"...the band's latter-era live output has finally seen high-grade vinyl debuts. Rush in Rio, which chronicles the frenzied 2002 denouement of the group's Vapor Trails Tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was issued on wax by Anthem/Atlantic/Ole/Rhino in 2019, and rightly spread over four 180-gram LPs to a much better (albeit not perfect) result than the overly shrill original 2003 CD set... The full band's whisper-to-a-scream buildups on "Earthshine", "One Little Victory", and especially "Secret Touch" all serve to show how three hard-working men can sometimes sound like a force of ten." - Mike Mettler, The Absolute Sound, October 2019
