review: For the most part, this dvd is excellent! Any Rush fan will love it, despite the obvious flaws. Compared to A SHOW OF HANDS, RUSH IN RIO is a masterpiece. But if you're talking about video quality in the editing department, the GRACE UNDER PRESSURE concert video is still the best.For all you video editors out there who are reading this: PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE FAST JUMPING AROUND WITH THE CAMERAS EVERY HALF SECOND! Why are so many concert videos and dvd being filmed that way nowadays?! Look at Iron Maiden's Rock in Rio. That's a great band with a great performance, but the video editing is pure crap! I can't even watch that one. Rush In Rio isn't quite as bad as the Iron Maiden one, though. The camera shots jump around too fast mostly in the first half. Especially during the first 2 or 3 songs. Then it becomes a little less annoying in the 2nd half. Lately I've been starting with One Little Victory and watching it from there just because the camera work is too annoying during much of the first half.I think they should recall this dvd, then let ME come in and do the video editing and I'd make the video portion of the dvd perfect. And I'd do it for free!The sound has some minor flaws, but it's hard to tell on my tv because I don't have it hooked up to my stereo, so I can't give an accurate stereo quality review.There's a lot of energy from the audience which may annoy some people. For some reason, Brazilians like to yell and chant a lot. The energy from the band is amazing. Their performance is what really makes this dvd worth buying. Great song selection, too. At least one song from every album except Caress Of Steel and Hold Your Fire.Despite the annoying MTV style camera work and a sound quality that could have been better, this dvd is worth it.
question: Is the music cool?
this dvd is excellent
