Rush has more talent , integrity and consistancy than 99% of the bands on Ultimate Metal Forum.
The Rush in Rio DVD give me shivers.
Playing with this fire, looseness and cohesion at their age is just incredible.
Plus, south american crowds are the best in the world.
Just compare Rush in Rio with Rush 30 in Germany. In the latter, you can almost here the audience snoring.
In Brazil, they sing along every word and guitar, bass melodies or Peart tom fills.
They have too many legendary albums and songs under their belts so a good idea to discover them is to buy their live albums which are most of the time fantastic ( Rush studio is great but a bit cold to me soundwise)
Rush : Different Stages (1998)
Rush : In Rio, DVD (2003)
Rush : Exit, Stage, Left (1981)
Rush : A Show of Hands (1989)
All great to discover Rush at different stages of their carreer.
The latest studio album is great with a serenity that says : we play sophisticated rock better than anyone else.
