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.

The YYZ Fantoons video which will be included in the Super Deluxe MP 40th set. "No good dope smoking degenerates! I should have known as soon as I saw those kimonos ..." :D

For what its worth, I have the "scaled down" packaging you referenced. The Blurays are the same, and I prefer it because it fits on my shelf with my other concert discs (as opposed to the original book packaging, which needs to be either in its own space or on your book shelf. Something to consider, but I understand wanting the original book it is packaged in.

Well ... I saw the lyric pages available separately on Rush.com earlier today but they are no longer listed other than as part of the Super Deluxe package (or 1 of the 6 lyric sheets randomly inserted in the album version). So that makes my decision easier -- I will just order the 3-CD version from Amazon instead.

I will definitely be buying this. I need to decide between the CD set and the super deluxe ... really, all I want in the super deluxe is the Bluray and the lyric sheets. It is hard to justify paying an extra $250 just to get the Bluray and lyric sheets, though. I am not a record collector, and most of my music these days is via streaming services. I don't own a record player. But ..... it is pretty cool ..... if I don't buy the super deluxe, I will likely buy the lyric sheets separately though.

Not sure how I missed this one -- thanks for posting! (The one on top, not the Geddy Lee Christmas one ...)
