New Rush DVD - emperor penguin - 09-04-2005

Here's some exciting news for any Rush fans out there.
Rush will be releasing the highly anticipated R30 DVD in late fall 2005. R30 will feature the sold out concert that Rush played in Frankfurt, Germany in October 2004 during their 30th Anniversary tour.

This is great news, judging by how incredible Rush in Rio was, I'm pretty excited about this new release. 2 great DVD's I'll have to wait for this fall.

Rio rocked! I watch minimum once a month!

When I need a little inspiration, I watch Peart's solo on Rio. It makes me tingle every time.

Did they play "Nobody's Hero" in Frankfurt?

Don't know why, but the angst ridden drum parts in Earthshine give me the heebee geebees. Great song.

I just checked the setlist on db.etree.com but the only date available for Frankfurt Germany was September 24,2004, and Rush's website says the DVD was filmed in October. There was no setlist for a show in Frankfurt in October so unless Rush's website is wrong or db.etree is wrong, or they played two shows in Frankfurt within a month, the show is actually from September, anyways not that any of this matters, I'm just not sure if the setlist I looked at is from the show they are releasing, to answer your question I did not see "Nobody's Hero" on the setlist I looked at.

They did not change the setlist one iota for the entirety of their overhyped R30 tour. So if Nobody's Hero was not played in Frankfurt, that means it was not played the whole tour.

FWIW, I found the Rio DVD to be the most poorly mixed 5.1 concert DVD I have ever heard. It was as if they wanted to simulate the experience of being at the concert....from the very very furthest seat from the stage. Very echoey and the vocals are buried. Awful mix!

some new info on the upcoming DVD, It comes out on Nov. 22 and includes some cool bonus footage of old performances and interviews. I can't wait.

I thought under the circumstances rush in rio was an OK release, I thought they had too many camera angles that made it difficult to watch. I am not happy that they are not releasing the whole show from Franfurt, I believe 8 songs are left out of the DVD. That being said, I will be buying this DVD package the day it comes out.

just picked this up today and have watched most of it already. The bonus features are pretty awesome which include some vintage performances and some classic interviews spanning their career. The concert itself is awesome. Neil's drum solo is incredible as always and the intro overture they do featuring instrumental cuts from some of their older songs including anthem and bastille day is cool too. sound quality and picture quality are really good aswell.

edit* the bonus features of Rush getting inducted into the juno hall of fame shows a clip of the hip doing the limelight cover

I've heard the same abotut he Rio DVD, R30 isn't much better from what I have heard.

I love the new DVD, I thought the Rio DVD was not up to par for a rush concert, I know they had technical problems with the show.

The new DVD does not have the whole concert but, Force Ten, Between The Wheels, Xanadu, 2112, Resist, and the Drum Solo is worth the price. I am still amazed how Geddy is able to play the Bass, Keyboards, trigger samples with his feet and sing all at the same time. I wish I had HDTV to play this on.
