I have always liked Rush, and I'm not referring to the fat, right wing radio host.  I'm talking about arguably the all time best trio in rock.  I bet John Rutsey is kicking himself all these years later, as he left the band after their debut album only to be replaced by Neil Peart.  I can not imagine how Rush would have continued to flourish without Peart in the band.  His mates, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have cooked up a great product to celebrate their 40 years of rockin'

There are 4 CD's and 4 DVD's in the Rush "R40 Live" package, and I'm counting the bonus CD/DVD that is available in the collection.  With "R40 Live" you get the best of Rush in concert and then some...like two awesome Neal Peart drum solos.  Below is the full track listing. And below that a trailer for "R40"  Not everybody loves Rush, but if you do this collection is a 'must have'!
