A few recent posts here at this board have discussed "wheelchair rock", i.e., Pink Floyd is over -- and -- the Stones at the Super Bowl, etc.

While I can agree that, with some bands and the aging members therein, there comes a time when stretching the life of the band is actually detrimental to their popularity and CD sales.......the opposite of what might be intended........that is NOT the case with RUSH.

I just saw r30 last night and WOW (my apologies to all of you that might have previously discussed this DVD and I missed out)....just WOW.

Alex has put on some tonnage -- other than that, these guys are still getting it done -- and in a big way. Great audio sonics (I love DVDs that offer the PCM stereo mix in addition to the 5.1 Dolby) and video scenes...........many, many songs.......great band that is still sounding good and playing very well.....most people would not realize the torture that Peart has been through by watching this footage.

I thouroughly enjoyed the first screening of this DVD -- highly recommended.
