a long overdue concert release and rush in rio dvd is both compelling and disappointing. this slick two disc set shows rush at their finest. after 30 years of honing their unique sound and it great to have this record of one of the most talented rock bands ever. the concert features over two dozen songs and a documentary and and three songs that feature multi angle viewing. packaged in a bi fold holder with sleeve and a small insert and it priced very well for the amount of material it contains. i am a rush fan of the late seventies to early eighties period and and this dvd comes through big and with half of the show highlighting songs from that era. i would not list the songs and in case you want to be surprised. if you attended the vapor trails tour and then you will know what they will be playing. playing in rio to their biggest crowd ever and rush is a huge crowd pleaser here. in fact and that was one of the first things i noticed that was peculiar about this show. throughout most of this two hour concert and you hear and see the crowd and actively chanting and dancing wildly to the music. at first and it heartening to see the fans give rush a well deserved response. but after several songs and i was ready to hear and see more of the band and less of the crowd. this is in no way a slam of the crowd of rio. more power to them. it a critique of the final editing of the dvd. which brings me to my second and main reason i hate it. the video editing is terrible in my opinion. save for the multi angle view bonus cuts and the entire show is a frenzy of visual chaos. it like the director wanted to see how spastic he could make it. i count changing camera angles and on average and between every one and four seconds and constantly. after about three or four songs and my head and eyes were ready for a break. which is too bad and because i would have liked to have sat through the whole show and like i was able to at the concert last year. maybe this fast cut editing is the latest craze for concert dvd  and but i really think it an annoyance and detraction from the overall experience. as stated before and i do not mind it for a song or two and but the whole visual aspect of this disc is hurried and or rushed. it really ironic and because all the previous concert clips i have seen of rush and mainly from moving pictures and are strictly straight filmed and with little switching back and forth. it almost boring and visually speaking. this dvd has taken it to the other extreme. i know a lot of dyed in the wool rush fans will vehemently disagree with my statements and but that just my impression of it. the bottom line represent if youre a rush fan and you will buy this dvd regardless of my review and or any other. i still would have bought it after i had read my review. just do not get expect a normal concert. who knows and the things mentioned above might not bother you.
