The DVD was released in a standard and deluxe set. The deluxe version features two audio CDs of the DVD content as well as various interviews and extra live footage.
The released product saw the omission of songs "Bravado", "One Little Victory", "By-Tor And The Snow Dog", "La Villa Strangiato", "YYZ", "Red Sector A", "The Trees", and "Secret Touch" as these tracks were already featured on the Rush in Rio DVD, a full concert in Brazil on the last night of the band's 2002 Vapor Trails Tour. This was done to eliminate redundancy. This modified set-list is heard on both the DVD, as well as a deluxe edition audio soundtrack. "Red Sector A" would later be released on the Snakes & Arrows Live DVD, "Secret Touch" was featured on the Retrospective 3 compilation DVD released on March 3, 2009, and "One Little Victory" was released on the live CD DVD compilation Working Men. "Bravado" and "YYZ" were included as bonus features for the DVD release of the 2010 docunemtary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage.
"Der Trommler" is a drum solo by Neil Peart. "R30 Overture" is an instrumental medley of six early Rush songs, one from each of the first six studio albums, with flashes of the band's history appearing in the background. This concert also features four songs from the band's 2004 "cover" EP Feedback.
A Blu-ray version containing the complete "R30" set was released on December 8, 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words anniversary, world and/or tour:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“That popular fable of the sot who was picked up dead-drunk in the street, carried to the duke’s house, washed and dressed and laid in the duke’s bed, and, on his waking, treated with all obsequious ceremony like the duke, and assured that he had been insane, owes its popularity to the fact that it symbolizes so well the state of man, who is in the world a sort of sot, but now and then wakes up, exercises his reason and finds himself a true prince.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
