Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Mr-Fusion I've always been partial to "R30" because it's got my favorite performance of 'Force Ten'. That's the song that ultimately drew me to Rush in the first place, and my love for that bass line will never die. It's crisp, clean and electrifying.But that just explains my personal bias. This is a Rush concert, after all, which means it opens like a beast with a sweeping overture and sets right to work on the diverse set list. Just as you'd expect. They even throw in a solid cover of The Who's 'The Seeker' for good measure. The band's signature precision is on full display during every minute of this thing. The production values are first-rate, too (some of the camera moves are very nice).They really put together a nice package.10/10

denis888 This year, Rush are 40, and a new DVD will be out soon - R40, but not yet, so we look back at R30 - when Rush were 30 years old and were great and perfect to the top. Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart do a tremendous show of all their imaginable Best Of material, starting with an excellent cartoon video, then going through the Medley of their earlier songs and then plunging headlong onto mesmerizing Spirit Of Radio. Each song is a highlight, and I especially recommend Neil's outstanding Drum Solo, which itself is a Suite of several parts and never drags or bores. Even later songs like Earthshine stand out well in comparison with earlier output and they prove that Rush's music will stand the test of time well. Geddy's impossible virtuosity sends me shivers every time I see him playing bass guitar, singing and operating his multiple pedals at the same time. A;ex is as usual cheerful and mighty, while Neil nails it down to make a perfect Trio of all times. 10 out of 10

dan-1446 Whether you are looking to add to your collection or just want to see just who are this band that has eluded you for the past 30 years then this is a great place to start. Filmed in Frankfurt, Germany towards the end of their European Tour (after the Sold-Out UK tour) this DVD works well in addition to the Rush in Rio DVD as the German filming company had the newest of audio and vision equipment, coupled with an indoor venue (as opposed to Rio where it was filmed in a football stadium), allowing them to produce sound of the highest quality and to output the show in High Definition. As Alex Lifeson said on the Rio box-set, the equipment the Brazillians had was a little dated, however the Rio DVD has something that no other Rush recorded concert has and, in my experience, only one other live show DVD has, which itself was filmed in Rio (this is Iron Maiden: Rock in Rio) and that is energy from the crowd. I do not believe that any other crowd can be any more entertaining to watch in a recorded concert, I most certainly would love to have the chance to join them one day! For this reason people reading reviews on the Rio DVD should ignore comments about the crowd being in the recording too much, there isn't an easy way of dampening the cheers of almost 60,000 excited people!My only disappointment with the DVD is the lack of the full concert, I attended the Birmingham show and one of the reasons I bought this DVD was that they cram so many songs into the 3 hours they're live you cannot remember what was played altogether so anyone purchasing this will need to get their hands on Rio too for the awesome opening of Nebbit and to hear Ghost Rider.

hemansavani I never thought much about Rush before seeing the R30 Concert, except for the fact that Neil Peart was a god. However, after watching this blistering performance, which hooks you in like nothing else with its 13 some-odd minute musical jam session which starts it all, I understand why these guys are cultural icons. My only complaint is the unnecessary use of Jerry Stiller (Frank Costanza) at the beginning and end of the performance on the wide screen. I'm sure the Germans were rather indifferent to it, as would anyone would be. But holy crepes, this band is tight as hell. Geddy Lee is flawless in voice and kick-butt bass playing. Alex Lifeson still rocks with sonic ingenuity. And Neil Peart - I can watch just him for the entire show without anything else as he is simply perfect and the best drummer in rock history. Highly recommended to Rush lovers and naysayers alike.
