Rush In Rio 2002
Rush In Rio is a live album by Rush recorded in November 2002 at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro at the end of the Vapor Trails Tour.
Rush have two previous live albums that are very high rated – All The World’s A Stage and Exit Stage Left.
This time, fans get the entire concert and nearly three hours of music.
Rush In Rio
Rush Exit Stage Left 1980 & 1981
Exit Stage Left is the second live album by Rush after the success of their first, All The World’s A Stage.
It was recorded at two concerts – June 10-11, 1980 at The Apollo, Glasgow, Scotland on the Permanent Waves tour and March 27, 1981 at The Forum, Montreal on the Moving Pictures tour.
This represents the peak time for the group as they changed their sound from the progressive heavy metal of All The World’s A Stage to a more classic rock style. They even started having hit singles with songs like Spirit Of the Radio and Tom Sawyer.
Rush Exit Stage Left
Rush All The World’s A Stage 1976
All the World’s A Stage is the first live album by Canadian heavy progressive rock band Rush from 1976 concerts promoting their 2112 studio album. It was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada.
This is a different sounding group than the one that appears on the second live album Exit Stage Left.
