Based on the lack of decent material circulating from the Signals period, I was pinning my hopes on a live show being made available with the anniversary edition. I am gutted to say the least!

Not exactly related to the SIG40 Debacle.... but about a decade ago King Lerxst mentioned that he'd found a bunch of old show tapes in 'the bottom of his closet', and sent them to someone to catalog. I don't know about the rest of you.... but i don't f***ing care what tours or shows those are. Mix and master them, and publish them. I have dollars at this time in life and plenty of f***ing time to listen. About a year ago I spent 75 bucks on the Asia official bootlegs Volume 1. It's 6 shows of Wetton, Howe, Downes, and Palmer from the 80's and after their reunion in the early 2000s. 5 are SBD, 1 is AUD (A+). I have them in rotation. Great shows. If those Rush tapes Lerxst talked about exist, I see no f***ing reason why they can't just put them out. Just like Asia did. FFS. Do it before the fanbase gets too old to give a shit.

I'm noticing that there's no CD version of this disaster. I guess because they know that they'd never be able to sell enough 1 CD versions of the thing to justify production.

Yesterday: The Rolling Stones - Some Girls The Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue The Rolling Stones - Tattoo You

My feelings exactly.

f***ing exactly. That's my line of questioning. The publisher who bought the rights to the band's shit is getting cheap and losing touch with who the fanbase are, what we know about the band's history (and what's out there) and what we want. In my opinion of course.

It's a similar song to United, which is also a We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions type of song. Notice how Halford is singing live there but the band are miming to the studio track. That often used to happen on Top of the Pops, 90% of bands mimed the vocals too though.

Big Country - In a Big Country Another one of my all-time favorite jams!

Roy Orbison - In Dreams Shout out to David Lynch

No live tracks, no studio outtakes, no covers.....no reason to buy it. $eriously.

Cocaine Bear

M&Ms

I think The Beatles created the promo video but QUEEN took it to a whole new level with that one.

Kit Kats

I've heard that they wanted this song to be their We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions. I also get that vibe from Heavy Duty/Defenders Of The Faith.

Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come is the greatest song of all time

Snoop.- Ain't No Fun Lolol we were wilin when I was kid that's all I'm saying lolol

Eminem - Kim Basinger's Spaghetti

Eminem - The Way I Am

Tales of Topographic Oceans - YES

Walls -- Yes

Yeah, no live material is a big no for me...at some point I'd listen to remixes/masters, but not shelling out box set prices for it. And....I know others feel differently....but I really don't like ANY of Hugh Syme's digital artwork for any of these projects. It is cold, sterile, cutsy and childish. Doesn't represent Rush to me at all. I remember some re-release of Dark Side Of The Moon (maybe in a box set?) where the cover was rendered in some kind of mosaic tile...and maybe another one where it was actually a photograph of light passing though a prism. These are cool choices. All the Rush ones seem embarrassingly lame to me.

Jelly Babies

Coheed and Cambria - Apollo I: The Writing Writer I love Coheed now. All their songs sound like that lit second part from Cygnus X-1.

Jim Croce - I Got a Name Round twooooo

Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight One of the greatest songs of all time. I'll fight you if you disagree ayyyy jk

Are you thinking of Cygnus X-1.net? That website has scans of the ticket stubs for a lot of the shows and pictures of many of the concerts.
