Time for more rankings! This time, the live concert videos releases from the last decade:
1. Rush In Rio
2. R30
3. Time Machine 2011
4. Snakes & Arrows Live
I took in to account the set list, production and quality of the video/sound, packaging, bonus materials (if applicable) and over-all enjoyment of the set. The top two are tough, and are more likely a tie in my eyes. R30 suffers a bit since it's not the complete set list, although all the classic 70's footage kind of makes up for it. Rush In Rio is just an all-time classic, great set list, awesome audience and just a great live show that captures the end of a great "come-back" tour for the band.
Snakes & Arrows Live suffers a bit more than R30 since there isn't anything in the way of extra stuff, just the concert. It's a bit bare-bones, but the concert is filmed great and it's got a good set list, but I'd still take R30 over it, as a whole package. Even the recently released Time Machine set tops S&A Live, just slightly, for it's got a slightly more balanced set list (although I did enjoy all the new songs, seeing Moving Pictures played live in it's entirety on a concert video is just a great treat!) and some awesome song choices ("Marathon" and "Presto", as well as "Faithless" and the encore).
