Billboard 200 - #24, 2015 "Thankfully for fans of the prog rock legends, a lasting document of the group's final major trek will be released ..." - Rolling Stone "... Rush isn’t like any other band and this tour wasn’t like any of their prior outings ... under those circumstances, yet another Rush live collection is more than welcome. It’s Rush and Rush kicks ass ... OF COURSE another live album is welcome ... they are as tight as ever ... it’s amazing to sit back and listen to this and realize that all of the sounds are generated by these three remarkable musicians." - PopMatters.com Recorded and filmed during two sold-out hometown shows at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in June 2015, R40 Live is a career-spanning live retrospective from Rush, celebrating the band's over 40 years together. The centrepiece is the remarkable setlist, as Rush works backwards from the most recent to the oldest songs in the band's catalogue. "It seemed to be the right thing for us to do this one in Toronto. We also had the luxury of having two shows, which is always a great thing for a setup ... the first night was good, but we had some technical glitches, but the (second show) felt great. It was one of the best shows on the tour, we thought, so we had some really good material to work from ... having the two nights and the two different sets, we could include stuff that we played on the (first) night in the final version." - Alex Lifeson
