Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of Rush's 5th live album Rush in Rio. The album was also released as a live 2-disc DVD set and was recorded on November 23, 2002 at Maracană Stadium in Rio de Janeiro - the final show on the Vapor Trails Tour (the bonus tracks for Between Sun & Moon and Vital Signs from Disc 3 were recorded at earlier dates on the tour). It was certified Gold by the RIAA on February 10, 2004 and reached as high as #33 on the Billboard charts. O Baterista was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Rock Instrumental Performance - Rush's 4th nomination in that category.
