I know I've already commented on this thread, but I had to make mention of this absolute bad boy. A friggin' vocal tour de force!

Are you after CD or DVD?

If CD, then "Exit" is their best. After that there is "A Show of Hands" but this was during their most synth driven phase so depending on your taste this may or may not appeal to you. There are also "Different Stages", "Rock in Rio", and "Snakes & Arrows Live"..plenty to choose from. I have Stages and it is very good, but I like all Rush stuff. The DVD quality of Snakes and Arrows is incredible, so I would expect the CD version to be excellent and has a mix of songs from throughout their career. Some songs such as "Force Ten" are better live than the studio version.

If you like to watch live DVDs The Snakes & Arrows is worth the $$, as is Replay X3. Replay gives you live performances of Exit, Grace Under Pressure, and A Show of Hands. Also included is the CD of the Grace concert, which sounds great considering how old it is.

Frick after all the typing I haven't really offered an opinion at all have I? Since you are a 70's Rush fan I would get Exit and/or Snakes, and also grab Replay just because you get 3 concerts plus a CD.

All The Worlds A Stage is not mentioned above and HAS to be. A rocking representation of Rush on the 2112 tour before keyboards and a great live album. I think the material on Exit Stage Left is great but the sound of that cd is just average. The worst sounding live cd in Rush's catalogue in my opinion. I do agree that the S&A dvd is incredible. The picture and sound quality are the best of any live dvd I have seen/heard. The setlist also is excellent. The Replay set is a great package and is very well done.

RUSH - Exit Stage Left..... the drum solo at the end of YYZ is craaaaaaazy wicked! :)

I agree. Listen to the drums on the whole album, remastered on a great stereo and your ears directly between the speakers (i.e headphones or driving). It will blow your mind.
