  1. Pretty sure this interview was debunked a while back. Sorry, guys.
  2. So my Signals Box is here, and while it's nicely put-together -- the 7" singles in particular -- it is very easy to conclude that this effort is inferior to the Moving Pictures box on nearly every level. The book has great art, but only the lyrics and production credits, with no insight or commentary on the album. The audio and visual extras are minimal. Soundwise, I'm having a very hard time discerning any difference from the Sector box remasters. If you're into this for the vinyl, your mileage will likely vary. The sound here is going to be vastly superior to any prior vinyl release. But boy, I hope they do a better job curating the GuP box next year......
  3. Ian Grandy has confirmed the existence of two-channel board tapes at the very least. This is the same as what was used for the "bonus tracks" on Rush in Rio. As that release demonstrates, these can be made to sound very good.
  4. Travis: I've always thought that anything else new to the bootleg community to pop up would be this sort of "back of the closet" type recording. Hopefully, the whole show will emerge. It's been a while since we e-mailed. I'm still at the same address -- drop a line any time. Hope all is well!
  5. Not CoS tour. Early 2112 tour. Which actually makes the appearance of this song in the setlist more interesting.
  6. It's a blown string. You can hear it, and I think even see it at the very end of "Overture".
  7. There must be some warehouse there because my cd set originated in Virginia and went through Richmond. Yep......in Crozet, VA. Only two hours away, which might explain why my box arrived so early. The same warehouse/company handles all of the Grateful Dead's archival releases, and probably other bands as well. Not sure if it's a manufacturing plant, or an outlet for Rhino Records, or what. But anyway, that's where all these box sets are coming from. Funny, because there's practically nothing else down there.
  8. My copy is here! FOUR days early; ordered from the Backstage Club. This live show is just friggin' amazing!
  9. Also multiple shows were recorded on the Pow and HYF tours for the A Show of Hands album, so box sets for both would seem to be easy and a no-brainer.
  10. Eddie Trunk interview this past July. Towards the end.
  11. Not to be overly dramatic about this....but I am honestly astounded that they have messed this release date up like this. It's baffling. Not baffling at all. Alex clearly said that everything has slipped due to the pandemic.
  12. I should add that when Rush started out as a band, they played covers, which included Rolling Stones songs. That's part and parcel of a music act performing at bars and high school dances where playing the well-known hits is an essential thing to get people dancing. When Rush released the Feedback covers album, did they include Rolling Stones songs on the list? The answer is no. Which means nothing, really. They also didn't include covers by Hendrix or Zeppelin, because they felt they couldn't do them justice. Nor did they include covers from Yes, Genesis, or Pink Floyd, but have acknowledged all of them as being immense influences.
  13. They could continue, but it won't be the same. It would be like Rush with another drummer. Nah.....Charlie didn't contribute anything like as much as Neil did with Rush ......and I knew someone was going to make an ignorant statement like this. Watts was part of the core of the Rolling Stones sound. If you can't hear that, then you really don't have the intellectual wherewithal to contribute to a discussion on music. What amazes me is that you could reach the age of 53 and still throw your toys out the pram when someone expresses an opinion on a public messageboard that you don't like You're the one that has resorted to the ad hominem insult, not me. And whether you like it or not, it is my opinion that there are a great many drummers who could do exactly what Charlie did....Neil, not so much. All this has nothing to do with my personal opinion of the man who I never met...... You however, the jury is still out on whether I decide you are a c*** or not :-) ".....a great many drummers who could do exactly what Charlie did" And so you double down on the ignorant statements. Charlie Watts, along with Ringo Starr, INVENTED the sound of modern rock. Period. There would have been no Rush had these guys not paved the way for them. And then, the Rolling Stones managed to stay relevant for 60 YEARS, in no small part due to CW's contributions. I wasn't aware that CW or Ringo played guitar, which is really where rock gets its sound...look, he was a competent drummer who produced a good backbeat, but to lionise him in the way that you are doing is just silly....Whether the RS have been relevant for a long time is a debatable point It seems CW only has writing credits for a handful of RS songs https://secondhandso...ist/18668/works Please just stop. You are really showing your ignorance. Rock music is LITERALLY defined by rhythm, NOT melody. With over 200 sub-genres, rock is predominately defined by the backbeat -- 4/4 time with accent on the 2nd and 4th beat. Ringo and Charlie were among the early pioneers and popularizers of the backbeat. Again, without the Stones, there's no Rush.
