Rush In Rio was filmed at Brazil s world famous football stadium, the Maracanã, in Rio de Janeiro on 23rd November 2002, the last night of the Vapor Trails tour. The Vapor Trails album and subsequent tour had marked Rush s return to activity after a hiatus of several years whilst drummer Neil Peart came to terms with various tragedies in his life. It was in every way a triumphant return with the crowds at the Brazilian dates being the largest the band had ever played for.
