Amidst the over-abundance of Rush live releases, In Rio is sure something special, capturing shows in front of an outrageously enthusiastic crowd of fans in Rio.

It creates a great lively ambience but for an audiophile like me it's a burden to sit through. The sound is similar to Different Stages, meaning a murky mess of over-compressed noise where half of the music isn't even audible. The band is lost amidst a muddy pool of reverberating arena sound, thick booming bass, shrill guitars and audience cheering drowning out more then half of what Neil is actually playing.

If you can neutralize all of this and tune in on the performances then it's a great show, especially if you like enthusiast audiences. Unfortunately I have no such magical skills and have to switch off this album after less then 4 songs.

Good for fans and all people who attended this show, as they take the prime role here!
