3 stars Purchased as a digital download from Amazon, I am not sure why I bothered. I think it is called being a collector.

The DVD and these two CDs (digital download) document their triumphant 30th anniversary tour and it is a follow up to the very fine Rush In Trio album. Besides of the cover album they released and which these discs unfortunate also includes some live versions of, there was no new studio album inbetween. Hence, we get much of the same as on Rush In Rio.

This live album is therefore not a necessary purchase. But the songs are great, the sound superb with a true live feel and Rush does a great job. This is therefore a good album, but nothing more than that.

3 stars

3 stars As with Rush In Rio, this came out in DVD and CD versions, depending on whether you want the visuals or just the audio. And as with Rush In Rio, the crowd is just a wee bit too prominent in the mix to my tastes - we heard them cheering at the start, gang, we don't need more reminders when they were there when the draw is Rush's music. Beyond the R30 Overture medley, this is largely the sort of thing we've heard extensively before, and generally speaking I find latter-day Rush live albums are less notable than earlier ones, in part because the band got so polished that the live renditions of their material don't really differ enough from the studio versions to feel fresh.
