The Vapor Trails Tour was a concert tour by Canadian rock band Rush in support of their album Vapor Trails. It marked the first tour in nearly five years after the band entered a hiatus due to personal tragedies in drummer Neil Peart's life. The tour kicked off June 28, 2002 at the Meadows Music Center in Hartford, Connecticut and culminated in a three show stint in Brazil, the last night of which was recorded November 23, 2002 at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The recording was released October 2003 as a triple CD and dual DVD entitled Rush in Rio . During this tour Rush played in front of the largest crowds of their career, the largest of which was a capacity of 60,000 in São Paulo. The show at Maracana Stadium represented the second largest attendance for a headlining Rush concert with 40,000 people.
