Why not make some bootlegs into legit live albums?

 

Agreed. The remasters/5.1s do nothing for me; I’m not an audiophile. I’m also not a completist, so I don’t care about alternate takes and demos. I’d prefer a live disc from the Signals tour, the PeW tour, and a full show from the MP show.

I fall to the category of being a completist I'm afraid but that's besides the point. I'd like to see a full Presto disc as well since the one Rush released necessarily isn't a full show just like ESL isn't a complete show. In fact, why not release discs from all the album tours that haven't been released?

Did they ever release a live audio based on the official video from the Grace Under Pressure tour?

 

I also would love to hear a professional mix of an entire HYF show, rather than the hodge-podge of material on the Show of Hands album or the incomplete show that was released on video.

Yes. Bonus disc with the Replay x3 dvd set.

 

It was also released on it's own with the exact same Grace Under Pressure front cover. The only addition is "1984 Tour" is on the bottom left. Probably out of print by now though. Different mix than the original video and bootlegs however which always disappointed me.

It'd be nice to get a full show from that tour. I had an old bootleg on cassette but the quality wasn't great. Blistering version of Red Barchetta IIRC...

 

What they did with Red Barchetta on that tour was really sweet.

While I have great musical memories attached to the original Hemispheres artwork, it is an ideal pick for Syme to work his magic and come up with a modified cover. I would love to have some sort of 40th Anniversary editions of all the titles but I think the only titles that should get the overblown treatment from here on out is MP/ESL.

Here's something posted in April 2018 from ole's press release below that I submitted to Rushisaband.com.

 

ole label group Expands Management Team

 

The last paragraph from the press release stands out that I'm quoting:

 

'2018 will also see deluxe reissues and unreleased material from Rush, Stompin' Tom Connors, Lighthouse and Bob & Doug McKenzie on anthem and anthem LEGACY, ole’s rock and catalogue labels. In addition to the releases mentioned above, the ole label group expects to announce more new signings and acquisitions as the year progresses.'

They'll definitely continue through MP, and I would bet they'd also do one for Signals, but a 40th box for GuP...idk if they'll go down that path, it might lead to a 40th box for like, RTB, and I can't see that doing too well.

 

I would be ALL OVER a 40th Anniversary Roll The Bones Box!!!

Hemispheres has many bootlegs which have amazing quality to them, but an official one would be cool also.

 

Signals on the other hand has little to no bootlegs (which I am not sure why) but I would wish they do an anniversary for that in the far future

 

Hemispheres == boots from 33 dates

 

Signals == boots from 47 dates

 

Yeah but Ron you know there are no soundboard boots among the Signals recordings and even the best audience tapes from the Signals tour don't sound great. You would know better than I but iirc Long Island/London/Amsterdam were the best of the Signals tapes and I don't think they sound as good as Vancouver/Chicago or Boston tapes let alone the soundboards from Tucson/Frankfurt/Detroit.

 

Signals is an underrepresented tour of high quality live recordings

 

IMO the trouble with this is that there are good recordings that capture mediocre performances (Anaheim '81, for example) and terrible audience tapes that capture fantastic performances (New Haven '82)

I'd take quality of quantity as I pretty much have the quantity covered.
