Been on my list for a while. Haven't gotten around to it yet though. I've heard good things. I still ultimately wish Rush in Rio had R30's production. That would be my ultimate Rush live document. Not that Rio's production was bad, quite good actually. But R30 was incredibly produced.

You know. I know it was raining in RIO....but whatever union they got those cameramen from needs to be disbanded. I got vertigo watching that show. I don't think the camera stayed on one thing for more than a half second......definitely disappointing.

The audio, presentation of the DVD, SUPER FUNNY Alex Lifeson in the menus, best playing in years and camera work the focuses on the musicians most of the time during all the right times. The best live RUsh Concert period.. They were on fire that night. Get it. I paid $13.99 for it (3discs of material and a short comedy with Alex Neal and Geddy in it.. Awesome show and killer value.

The audio still sounds incredible though. That doesn't bother me so much as the excessive crowd noise. I hate when they take all the crowd noise out, but I hate when it's excessive - happy medium there.

I've got it, watched it a few times. It is very good sound even on a dumpy DVD player thru my Bose. Camera work is spectacular and the color is very bright and vivid. It must have been a very good show. The stuff from the Atlanta show was equally as good. It does look and sound better that Rio.

I didn't even know it was out. I have to get it, as I love R30!

I have it, and I love it. Regular version...not the Blu-Ray. Great camera work and the sound is top-notch. You seriously cannot beat $15 for three discs. It's the full concert, too. No songs were cut when it went to DVD.

Didn't know this was out either...couldn't think of anything I would want for Christmas so this is it!

If you have Replay, Rio, and R30, is there really any reason to own this? I mean, I'm a huge Rush fan but was really underwhelmed by Snakes & Arrows so I'm not sure what else this would have to offer? I mean, I wish some other bands would release this much quality live material, but it does seem a bit redundant at the moment...

Any true Rush fan knows capturing these final few years of live performances is truly a treasure. The fact that Mr.Peart even decided to continue on a few years back is amazing. The only thing missing from their live collections is some really early full length shows from the "All The Worlds A Stage" era. Would love to see that show on DVD. wow...

That band had some amazing energy onstage back then. I'd love to see something like that also.

Well, I was going to say you would want it for all the Snakes & Arrows songs, but since it's not your favorite I won't mention that. But on this first leg of the Snakes & Arrows Tour they did play some songs that to my understanding have never been captured before. I'm thinking Circumstances, Witch Hunt, Entre Nous and Digital Man in particular (I could be wrong, though). Plus, it's only $15 for three discs. They also included footage of the four songs they added for the 2008 leg of the tour.

I'm not going to try to browbeat you into getting this one, but it really is worth the money just to see the production of this DVD.

I fell asleep at the switch and didn't see that this was out.

Definitely putting it down on the Christmas list along with all the new Marillion goodies and Steven Wilson solo work.

Got this dvd coming for Christmas, really looking forward to it as when I saw them on this tour, the sound was excellent but the view was too distant!
