There does not seem to be much in this set that is previously unreleased (other than re-mixed versions). Six songs (I think) that were previously unreleased? I think I am a pass on this one. Still hoping for an anniversary GuP with a full live show.

That those who know what's best for us - Must rise and save us from ourselves - Witch Hunt

There definitely should be 3D glasses in the package! :-)

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.
