Rush In Rio to be released on Vinyl

From Louder Sound.

Rush’s 2003 live album Rush In Rio is to be reissued on vinyl early next year.

The performance was captured at the famous Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on the final leg of the Canadian trio’s Vapor Trails tour in front of 40,000 lively and enthusiastic fans.

The reissue will be spread across four heavyweight 180 gram vinyl LPs and will be presented in a gatefold jacket, complete with download code.

This is the first time Rush In Rio has appeared on vinyl as it originally launched on CD and DVD and will arrive on January 18.

The package is available to pre-order exclusively through Rush’s website.

Rush have been on hiatus since wrapping up their North American R40 tour in 2015, with guitarist Alex Lifeson reporting in January this year that the band were “basically done.”

And, last month, bassist Geddy Lee quashed any hopes that Rush could tour again together in the future by saying there was “no chance” of that happening.

Rush’s classic 1978 album Hemispheres was reissued last week to coincide with its 40th anniversary.

Lifeson, meanwhile, is currently working on a project with drummer Marco Minnemann, while Lee will publish his Big Beautiful Book Of Bass next month. Find details below.
