What part of "RUSH" don't you understand?

General Comments
To conclude the Vapor Trails tour, the power trio from Canada decided to visit an unknown fan base in Brazil. Even after torrential rain and previous sound difficulties, Geddy, Alex, and Neil took the stage, not knowing whether anything would work. After a few anticipating moments, Rush opened with Tom Sawyer. Although it may be difficult hear Geddy Lee's vocals at times, you can still feel the intesity of this performance. This 3 CD set also includes an acoustic version of "Resist", after an intense drum solo. I attended the 30th aniversarry tour, and this performance may not be quite the same, but it still captures the power.
