The Worst Film Ever
Don't listen to the negative reviews
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This is a great concert. Better audio than on "Rush in Rio" but the set-list and vocals are slightly lacking. still a very good Rush concert. despite being 50-somethings now, they are still fun to watch on-stage. There is one song from all albums except "Presto". best songs are "Xanadu", and "spirit of Radio" they have the tightest performance and are truest to the originals. The overture does justice to older songs that were good, but not good enough for geddy to ruin with notes he cant hit. its not his fault but it still sounds bad. A must-have for fans, and a good addition for rock concert collectors or rock enthusiasts. All should watch it at least once!
Prior to 2004 Rush hadn't toured Europe in about 12 years, and the fans were well rewarded for their patience with fantastic performances. This show is from that European leg of their 30th Anniversary Tour and although it's an incomplete show (as opposed to Rush in Rio (2003), which was the complete setlist), it's still a phenomenal show that's well worth the time spent to watch it. Unfortunately, La Villa Strangiato was left off of the DVD so we don't get to hear the ever-amusing Alex Lifeson rant of the evening. Rush fans will love it (of course), and I would think that even non-Rush fans should enjoy it. L/L/P...
I enjoyed this DVD quite a bit. Awesome live performances. The sound is tight and a lot better than Rush in Rio. There aren't as many screaming fans this time though.My favourite song easily is Subdivisions. Very well played and Geddy Lee's singing is top notch. A lot of the songs I didn't really like before, I grew to love because of this DVD. Rush should get a few awards. I always love to watch and hear them play live. They are pretty much the best live performers out there.Definitely a great addition to any music DVD collection. A must buy if you're a Rush fan or new to their music.10/10 it's the bomb.
R30 captures some great performances and a whole lot of energy. It is recorded in hi-def and with great sound quality. Standout performances are found throughout the concert, but especially on Subdivisions, Red Barchetta, Earthshine, Xanadu, and Between The Wheels.Go out and get it if you are a fan from their 80's-era, or if you're new to the band and learned about them from their more recent releases.The recording focuses more on capturing the great light show as well as showcasing clear sound quality. Geddy's voice is front and center (unlike the recent "Rush In Rio" DVD) and the audience-level is rather subdued.R30 is a "10" !
