Page "Rush in Rio" Paragraph 2

Rush in Rio was the first live album released by the band to not follow the pattern of releasing a live album after every four studio releases, and was also the first to feature a complete setlist without any changes in song order, including Neil Peart's drum solo.

It is also the band's first live album that presents a single night's performance in its entirety ( not counting the two bonus tracks ).

In an interview about the album and DVD, Alex Lifeson and James " Jimbo " Barton noted that it took an extended amount of time to mix the sound.

This was due to technical difficulties of recording the audio on primitive equipment.
