It includes Rush In Rio, R30, Snakes & Arrows Live, Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland and Clockwork Angels Tour plus a bonus disc of previously unseen live material stretching from 1974 to 2013.

The blu-ray set is packaged in a 56-page hardback book (305mm x 225mm) which documents four decades of Rush live in concert with appropriate photos and pictures of memorabilia.
