'''''Rush in Rio''''' is a three-disc live album by the Canadian band [[Rush (band)|Rush]], released on October 21, [[2003 in music|2003]]. The album is also available as a [[Rush in Rio (video)|two-DVD set]]. With the exception of the last two tracks on the third disc, the album was recorded at [[Estádio do Maracanã|Maracanã Stadium]] in [[Rio de Janeiro]] on the final night of the Vapor Trails Tour. The other two tracks were taken from previous shows on the same tour. "Between Sun & Moon" was recorded at the [[Cricket Wireless Pavilion]], [[Phoenix, Arizona]], on September 27, 2002, and "[[Vital Signs (Rush song)|Vital Signs]]" was recorded at the [[Colisée Pepsi]], [[Quebec City]], [[Quebec]], on October 19, 2002.
The DVD has been certified 7× Platinum by the R.I.A.A. in the US, with over 700,000 copies sold as of September 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?content_selector=gold-platinum-searchable-database|title = Gold & Platinum|website = [[Recording Industry Association of America]]}}</ref> The track "[[Rush Instrumentals#Neil Peart's drum solos|O Baterista]]" was nominated for a [[Grammy Award]] for [[Best Rock Instrumental Performance]] in 2005, but lost to [[Brian Wilson]]'s "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow".
''Rush in Rio'' was the first live album released by the band that did not follow the pattern of releasing a live album after every four studio albums; every subsequent tour would receive a live album release. It was also the first to feature a complete setlist without any changes in song order (including [[Neil Peart]]'s drum solo), and the first 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 due to technical difficulties in recording the audio on primitive equipment.
At this concert, Rush played to 40,000, their second-largest crowd on the [[Vapor Trails Tour]] (the largest crowd was 60,000 at the show the previous night in São Paulo). In a rare departure from the band's practice of re-creating the sound of their studio work during live performances, the song "Resist" (on disc 2) was rearranged into a stripped-down acoustic version featuring Lifeson and [[Geddy Lee]], with Peart sitting out after his drum solo. {{Clear}}
