A remastered BluRay/DVD release of the full GuP show would be a great thing, though.

Even with the dearth of a live show, I would have bought the Signals anniversary set if it had been released in a CD or CD/DVD/BluRay package -- I realize the value of LPs, but I simply don't collect them or use them. I think a Signals CDS/DVD/BluRay set packaged with a Signals tour shirt reprint would have sold a bunch more units ... a missed opportunity. I have already bought every Rush release, most in multiple formats (8-track, cassete, CD, remasters, etc), so one more would have been easy to justify.

I bought the one with the t-shirt, and then later I also bought the Bluray. Makes sense because I have bought many Rush releases in multiple formats over the years (yes, I had the early 8-tracks too!).

So, you're telling me $9,500 is a lot for a stick, two pieces of wire, and three cut signatures?

For the record, I NEVER left a Rush show early. I always stayed until the last note stopped ringing in the venue, the house lights came up, and then I usually hung out and chatted with other fans for 20-30 minutes.

Sounds like there is strong demand for this show, so maybe some more dates will be added (Dallas, por favor!).

Little known fact: The entire album was written whilst sitting on a park bench.

When the Feedback CD was released, I listened to it over and over for the next 6 months or so, and I still go back to it often. Great songs reinterpreted and Rush-ified. And R30 was my favorite concert setlist. I am so glad that when the Blu-ray for R30 was released it had the whole show since they cut out a bunch of songs in the DVD release. And Neil's drum solo on R30 is my fav as well, although admittedly -- I love 'em all!

It is a little perplexing that (seemingly) every Signals 40th package offered centers on vinyl -- there is no option to just buy a CD and/or cd/DVD or CD/BluRay package. I listen to music now mostly via streaming, but there are some items I still buy hard copies of just because I like to have them and use them occasionally. I get the audiophile craze with vinyl now outselling CDs, but it seems odd that in order to support the band and buy the new items I might want I have to buy vinyl that I will definitely not use. Oh well..

If there was a live show as part of the set, I would be in too. I am a little concerned that, if these sets don't sell well, they will stop making them with live material still sitting in the vault unreleased. But it is what it is, I have already bought multiple copies of every single Rush release, so I don't think I need another remix.

For me, S&A is one of Rush's best albums -- I love it.

I didn't see Phil Collins performing from a chair, but I did check it out on YouTube ... the voice is still there. And the fans seemed to love it. It works for Phil Collins, but not for Alex. Which is perfectly ok.

FWIW, this was already linked in the MP 40th thread.
