And now for something off the beaten path: a Rush DVD. Having been around for the better part of 40 years, this Canadian trio has endured a lot just to be around this long, and as evidenced by their most recent tour, they don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. Today covers one of their many releases, as this blog takes you to Brazil, or more specifically, Rush is taking you to Brazil. This DVD, filmed on the Vapor Trails tour in 2003, was shot on the band's first trek to Brazil, and looking at the crowd there (it was filmed in a football stadium, which should tell you how big music is in South America), they were ready to open their arms to Rush. The band did not disappoint, as they played songs from their entire discography, ranging from songs off of Vapor Trails and Test for Echo to classics such as "Free Will" and "Spirit of Radio." Nothing beats seeing a band in person, but DVDs such as Rush in Rio are proof that the experience is just as fruitful in the comfort of your own home.
