R40 Live saw the trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart perform a career spanning set against the backdrop of their 'devolving' stage design. The ambitious backdrop featured sets from the band's tours over the years, in reverse chronological order.

So while the DVD opens with the massive modern production of Rush's live sets from the 2000s, it closes with the bare minimalism and poignancy of 'Working Man' from their 1974 self-titled debut album. R40 Live was filmed across two shows in the band's hometown of Toronto during their 35-show North American tour earlier this year.
