Doing my Pearl Jam marathon for Dark Matter and 3 decades and many listens to these albums later, they just hit more raw on Dolby Atmos. Holy forking shirtballs! Really worth it to get those 6 months through Verizon.

Dammed Padres and their FOUR cheap-ass bloop singles....

Happy birthday, hockey horndog.

There was someone over at the Steve Hoffman forum a while back who claimed he worked on the Beyond the Lighted Stage doc and saw the film cans for ESL in a warehouse, but I don't know how credible he was, and I've never seen any other information from anyone who would know, one way or the other. Until solid information to the contrary emerges, I choose to believe the original negatives still exist...

I want him to be wrong wrong wrong but I also tend to lean towards what GhostRider has written above. Unfortunate, but likely accurate.

Just secured tickets to Dream Theater in London this October. Can't wait to see them back with Mike Portnoy!

"Freddie Starr's Variety Madhouse" Well, mini-binge, only six episodes. A bit too much singing for me.

As much as I'd love to see a release like this happen, I have my doubts that it ever will, for a few different reasons. 1) Physical Media is a dying industry. With the exceptions of collectors and preservationists, most people simply do not care for Physical forms of media. As a result Anthem would be less likely to release an updated remastered release for such a small percentage of people. 2) The Footage might not exist anymore. In all the research I've done on this topic, I have never found any evidence to suggest that the film reels were preserved or held onto. It's to the contrary actually. I recall reading a post someone posted on the forum where it was mentioned that nobody bothered to keep track of the film reels after each live video was released in the 80's. Additionally, sources close to Rush have stated that the band had absolutely zero interest in older footage of themselves and as a result they did not go to any lengths to preserve it. A lot of the older footage that we do have exists only because it was preserved by third parties or by people close to the band who stepped in to save it.Even for the R40 boxset, they used the same old video transfers for footage that was included. The bonus Lock and Key Footage from ASOH was from the same old video transfer as the VHS/Laserdisc, and DVD release. Not a remastered and newly scanned negative. I'd love to be wrong, but I do believe that the original negatives for ESL, GUP, and ASOH are probably long gone or unaccounted for.

Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” will be re-released in theaters in honor of the sci-fi epic’s 10th anniversary. The film, which earned an impressive $731 million globally when it debuted in 2014, stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon and is set in a dystopian future in which a group of astronauts must travel to the far reaches of space to find a new planet for humankind to colonize. Paramount Pictures announced the re-release during its presentation to theater owners and executives at CinemaCon, the exhibition industry conference taking place this week in Las Vegas. “Interstellar” will fly back into theaters on Sept. 27, 2024. It will be shown in 70mm Imax prints (Nolan’s preferred format), as well as on digital screens. Warner Bros., which co-produced the movie, will work in coordination with Paramount on the revival.

"Happy 59th Birthday, Blackhawk (Robert)". I hope you had an enjoyable, and a joyful, and wonderful day.

Happy birthday, fellow TOSTer!

happy birthday!

A Russian defenseman just doesn't sound sexy to me.

Now there was a boxer...er, goalie.

I'm a day late! All the good stuff, like #1 draft picks, was already gone, but how about a #2?

I'm late! I hope it was a good day! Only 364 days 'til the next one, now.

Happy Birthday mate!

You'll cave in, it's just a matter of time!

The guy looks possessed, in a good way. He breaks all the ''rules' for classic guitar -position, posture etc. The way he tunes the guitar mid playing. Never seen anything like it, save metal/rock music. He is totally at one with the guitar. Amazing.
