Brava Doh!

If the sales were low-low, they may notice that, and either (a) rethink their approach and figure out that no new live material was the culprit, for the most part, or (b) decide that these aren't worth doing anymore and that's that. Probably the second one, unfortunately.

I want him to be wrong wrong wrong but I also tend to lean towards what GhostRider has written above. Unfortunate, but likely accurate.

If I was getting a Rush tattoo I'd go with the three wishbones on the Roll the Bones Cover...it's either on the back cover or on the inside, I don't remember.

That's what the ESL Live video ended on, and it worked great. It can definitely work.

Renfeld has more screen time than Cage, by my recollection. I had no expectations going into this, my granddaughters wanted me to take them, and I laughed my ass off and was entertained plenty. Thumbs up from me!

Another beauty! Thanks

Yeah.

I always assumed they did two or three takes for Count Floyd's intro to that song, and they just used them all.

Magnificent!

I think it was a simple as those releasing the box set were lazy as F and miscalculated on how much the Live releases mean to those of us still interested enough in buying them. I won't be getting this, and I'm annoyed as all hell they left out something...ANYTHING...live.

Fantastic! Always loved those little things he finds, and he's always made it so convenient to have them all in one place.

I remember the excitement of getting the new Rush. I was in the Minneapolis airport. Felt a little guilty getting the 'pirated' version but not really as I knew I was gonna be buying it on cd anyways. That was always the part that made it fine for me too, I knew I was going to buy it on release day, so grabbing pirated/shared songs and snippets beforehand was perfectly ok for me.

Yeah I could. I don't get why Vital Signs wasn't blocked, but this one is. ...and why block it? anyone tuned into this project's release at this point is buying it even if they put 90 percent of the concert on youtube.

**Video not available in my country** I'm in Canada FFS....unreal

So how quick is the 3 cd edition actually gonna ship to people? The shipping options are 7-21 days for 13 bucks additional and 60 bucks for 4-5 day delivery? WTF Ridiculous

So how much different will this Blu Ray Audio be from the 30th anniversary version? I'm interested in that if it's going to be different somehow, but the rest of the stuff outside the new concert isn't a big deal for me. If it's realy going to be that different and that's the only way to get it though...sigh

Rush shoutout on Good Morning Football this morning, one of the hosts quoted some of the chorus from Subdivisions when looking at highlights of Cooper Rush from Dallas throwing a TD to Amari Cooper. Kinda cool.

It was, I still have a copy or two on a vhs and a dvd someplace I'm sure that I taped off the channel back in the day. I remember it was a very "WTF" moment when I saw the edited version out there and not the full one.

The thing with syntesizers and samplers is that you can manipulate almost any sound to make the base sound unrecognizable. A buddy of mine took a bass note on a little cheap sampler once and turned it into something nobody would guess was a bass note. Someone with the access to effects and equipment to make effects at the level of Geddy back then could have sampled a door slamming and turned it into those sounds. So it could literally be anything. Maybe Alex was humming along to the synth in the studio once and Geddy got the idea to sample it and mess around with it, who knows?

I have to laugh. You remind me of myself. Listening to music with a fine-tooth comb - what's this? what's that? :lol: LOL I do this sometimes too...I loved listening to the quiet part before the guitar solo in Open Secrets, for example, and listening to the various instruments and effects layered in there.

It had been played live before, but it had been a very long time...decades.

I don't have a sub but I was able to read it. It's excellent.

I don't expect anything new in this sort of field to be released by them, honestly. A year off is probably a relief for those putting it out, now they can release the same thing next August and, with a two year gap, a lot of people that may have skipped it might go now.

Time Stand Still

That's the one that has always stood out for me too. And, no matter what people might think of it, "The Big Wheel" seems like EXACTLY the kind of song off RTB that they would have wanted to play live on at least that tour.
