That's just Eddie Trunk 😂

Overall thoughts outside of Ozzy/Sabbath sets which were great: Good: Metallica Tool Alice in Chains Steven Tyler sounded unbelievable, especially given recent vocal issues Anthrax Rival Sons Corgan doing Priest, surprisingly Slayer Bad: Hagar David Draiman Halestorm Pantera The Fred Durst solo acoustic "Changes" they showed via prerecorded video Somewhere in between: Guns N' Roses (the Sabbath stuff was great but Axl sounded rough on the two GNR songs they played) Mastodon Lamb of God (not my thing but they sounded fine for what they do) Gojira (same)

I watched most of the live stream. Genuinely shocked by how good Ozzy was given everything he's dealing with health-wise. Glad he got a proper final show.

I was a kid posting on Rush forums 20 years ago under a different name but I vividly remember Doug Maher's "exclusive" interviews being pretty widely debunked as totally made up. Weird guy.

I saw them twice on R40 (Chicago and Portland) and thought he sounded great both nights. The Toronto show they released was by far the worst I heard him sound on any recording from that tour. Which is another reason why I'd love to see another show from the tour given an official release -- particularly the final show.

I got it and I'm not mad that I got it. (Just the CD version, the price for the super deluxe was outrageous.) I'm glad to officially own the debut single and the packaging/artwork is nice. They obviously recorded and shot the entire final performance at the Forum since there's footage from it in the Time Stand Still doc. I really hope the next thing they put out is a standalone CD/Bluray release of that entire show. One of my biggest gripes about the R40 Toronto release is that they caught Geddy on a rough night vocally. I hate that that's the standing document of that tour.

Nothing close to me. Too bad.

Open Secrets is one of my favorite Rush "deep cuts."

I'll get the CD version I guess. The price on the super deluxe is outrageous. That's more than the Moving Pictures super deluxe which was actually worth the money with how much extra stuff is in it.

I've taken every non-answer about Geddy and Alex making new music together as "it's not happening but they don't want to outright say that so as not to disappoint the fans." Alex has been very open about not wanting to tour anymore. I could see Geddy doing something on his own in the future, be it an album or live shows, but the two of them together, I'm not holding my breath at all.

CDs are so much less expensive to produce than vinyl, it makes no sense why they wouldn't make a CD version for those that want it.

Assuming they filmed all of it and not just the final songs, I would love a full standalone release of the final show at the Forum.

I would have liked to see more of the Laura Secord show on here—maybe even the whole thing, because none of it has ever been released in audio form. Another thing that would have been easy to include since it exists, is the live "Lock and Key" from the A Show of Hands laserdisc. The video is on the R40 blu-ray box set but it's never been on any kind of audio release. That R40 box set seemed to be a roundup of every video thing they had that wasn't on another release or was a "rarity." It would have been cool if this was an audio version of that kind of release. But, again, there's just enough stuff on here to be worth it for me to buy the CD version.

The early stuff and the stuff from the final show at the Forum are just enough to get me to buy this if there's a physical release.
