QUOTE (rushgoober @ Feb 12 2012, 12:39 AM) I don't think this poster is vintage (not like anyone's saying it is), only because I started seeing it available a few months or a year ago on ebay, and it's so readily available so cheaply. My guess is either it's a reprint or a brand new poster just using a vintage-era picture. Regardless, it's a VERY cool poster, just sayin' in case anyone thinks they're getting a vintage poster from 1978 or something. I'd get it myself, but unfortunately the days of me having wall space for multiple Rush posters ended in my early 20's. I'm happy with my framed Moving Pictures promo poster. Thanks for setting the record straight. I too think it's an awesome poster. (I don't have it either by the way because of its unknown origin.) I think it started showing up about three years ago or so. I have no intention of getting it myself either. But there are people who don't really care where these things come from so it's all good. (And I think Vapor Trails is awesome in spite of its sonic flaws.) I've got that Moving Pictures promo poster too except that it's not hanging like yours. It's in the closet with a bunch of other goodies I should really go through. I think the only Rush promo posters still hanging that I haven't rotated out are Grace Under Pressure, Presto and Retrospective I/II. The rest sit in a closet waiting for their day.

Very Cool! Although, I'm not much into the custom-made memorabilia thing myself. Looks great though.

QUOTE (kbomb106 @ Feb 8 2012, 10:35 AM) Here's the Red Star cover I was talking about. Comparatively, this is pure crap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4jGSIQrVIU Upon hearing Red Star, my coworker actually asked, "Is this a tribute album or a spite album?" I enjoyed that. Is it better than the original? No. Easily beats the low bar set with Red Star. That has to be the worst Rush tribute ever made. I don't think I ever made it twice through that. Even the LUSH album was better than Red Star.

OK, not counting 45s, 12 inches, picture discs, various non US compilations, various promo vinyl and the like, These have all been released on vinyl at one time or another. Rush Fly By Night Caress Of Steel 2112 All The World's A Stage A Farewell To Kings Archives (first three albums) Hemispheres Permanent Waves Moving Pictures Exit...Stage Left Signals Grace Under Pressure Power Windows Hold Your Fire A Show Of Hands Chronicles [Not released in North America] Presto Roll The Bones (Not released in North America) Counterparts (Not released in North America) Vapor Trails Feedback Snakes And Arrows Moving Pictures Live (From Time Machine Tour)

I have the first album and I've seen them live at least once. I love this band and if there are some live shows scheduled I'll pick up the CD at one of them. Otherwise I suppose I'll just have to order one if there aren't any dates. There's a Rush influence for sure, but it's more than that for me.

As far as I know there are demos for Power Windows and Counterparts floating around (not huge differences, but cool to hear nonetheless) Then you have the vault editions of Working Man and The Trees which I think offer different Alex solos. A suppose you could count the soundstage versions from A Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres (The videos) and perhaps Anthem and Fly By Night (videos) Not a lot out there from the studio. I'm sure live is a much different story.

QUOTE (ytserush @ Jan 9 2012, 01:07 AM) Still looking for that copy of Modern Drummer. Also, anyone notice that the Anthem vinyl copy of the A Farewell To Kings album (ANR-1010) lists Cygnus X-1 as "Cygnux X-1?" Was this ever corrected or did they leave it that way? I guess I'll answer my own question here. I was going through some vinyl in the basement the other day and I found a couple of versions that had been corrected, so maybe the Cygnux X-1 printing error is rare.

The first recordings I've ever heard it on where from the Signals Tour. Not sure of the exact show though. That was also the same tour that they kind of spoofed it and rejected most of their distant past during that time.

QUOTE (ghostworks @ Jan 31 2012, 04:45 PM) I'd say the single most represented Rush album in my collection has got to be 'Signals': http://i.imgur.com/czBo4.jpg LP Original release CD | '97 remaster CD MFSL CD | Russian LP sleeve CD SHM-CD | Original release cassette I don't have the SHM, Russian, or the cassette of Signals. But I do have everything else pictured there and the US RCA Record Club edition, Canadian, Japanese and Dutch vinyl pressings of Signals. Then there is the Atomic and 1997 remaster also. Oops...I've also got the Korean pressing which is censored because it doesn't have The Weapon on it. I'm not sure at the moment which album I have the most pressings of.

Anyone have any Canadian promotional posters they might be willing to sell?

I have this on cassette and as such have not listened to it in a while.

Commercial recordings? Probably the Lakeside park intro from All The World's A Stage and the intro for Jacob's Ladder on Exit...Stage Left....Mostly because those are so different than the usual faire. There's a few that haven't been released, one of which was the intro to Cold fire which was mentioned earlier. I like it a lot more when he goes off the grid. At least he got out of the "Thank you, Thank you very much" rut. Even my wife joked about that one for a while....

I love it.

QUOTE (Invisible To Telescopic Eye @ Jan 21 2012, 09:18 AM) I bought a copy of it on Vinyl in '86. My copy is called Stellar Dynamics. So did I. Gotta love that Starfish..... Then there's the half-dozen CDs of this show which I also have which are not sourced from MP3s. I'd be interested in ABC1974 if I knew this wasn't MP3 sourced as someone here said a few months back.

QUOTE (syrinxthrawn @ Jan 21 2012, 01:52 PM) I still have all my CD's, although they've been made "digital" in my PC. I do have one thing (well, 3) that most people I've asked don't . . . I have the old LaserDisc versions of ESL, GUP and ASOH !! Something interesting; I remember when they released the Rush Replay X3 which are the DVD versions of those live shows. The official review remarked (I think it was on Amazon) that " . . . and for the first time "Limelight on a live recording . . ." or something like that. Well, while there was no live version of Limelight on any of the audio releases or the VHS version, it does exist on the LaserDisc version. Just an interesting side note. I forgot about those. I've also got laser discs of Through The Camera Eye, Grace Under Pressure tour, A Show Of Hands and Chronicles. Only missing Exit Stage Left on laser disc, although I've got a video copy from the Japanese laser disc. Of course I've got all of the DVDs too.

Everything commercially available on Vinyl and CD and the ubiquitous more. 8-tracks of 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures No cassettes.

QUOTE (Gilbertk @ Jan 14 2012, 11:42 AM) So I asked this before and the general consensus was that the single versions of Caravan and BU2B will be the same as the album release, but Neil's update makes me think that perhaps he will revisit the songs to capture that same fresh improvised feel. I could be wrong and perhaps he's played the songs too much for there to be a difference now, but what do you guys think? I'd like to think they would at least rerecord them for the sake of having a more matched sound (new studio, drumset, ect..) and to capture some of that fire from the tour. Didn't Alex and Geddy say in 2010 while on tour that they were considering rerecording them because they liked how the live version evolved from how it was first recorded?

My son loves this album. It's probably my favoritie of all of those Vitamin tributes.

No cool letter like that though....

Didn't someone here say this particular recording was sourced from MP3s?

Two or three weeks before launch....

I was there. I HAD to be. I thought they were done and I was there to thank them for the past present and future. The crowd vibe was amazing and you could tell than many people were there for the same reasons and I think the band fed off of that. I remember wondering if Geddy would say anything about Entwhistle, who was one of his bass heroes. It was an uneven show by Rush standards but that didn't matter. I got chills when the drums were uncovered. I have never shed tears during Tom Sawyer before or since, but I did that night. I'm not sure I can even describe what it was like during the drum solo. I've never seen a crowd so loud and appreciative for his solo than that night. It all just seemed to spill over at that point. I've been to about 40 Rush gigs (need to check the stubs) and there have been many favorites, but nothing touches that night for me. (Not even the first one watching Marillion play my favorite album of all time before seeing Rush on the Power Windows tour.)

QUOTE (malnar @ Dec 13 2011, 10:36 PM) QUOTE (JohnnyBlaze @ Dec 13 2011, 09:44 PM) They should be different and release an instrumental as their single (assuming they have one for this next album). That's a really good idea! It's actually been done. In 1981, YYZ was the B-side to Limelight. In 1991, Atlantic sent the Where's My Thing CD single to some radio radio stations instead of Dreamline, which was sent to most others. Confused the hell out of me too. I'd heard Where's My Thing? when it came out and asked a friend of mine if he'd heard it and what he thought of it and we both each thought each other was crazy for a little while until we figured out there were two DIFFERENT songs released before the Roll The Bones album came out. He'd heard Dreamline which I didn't hear until a few days later.

I doubt I've gone more than a few weeks at a time without listening to an album or concert in more than 25 years. Certainly doesn't happen every day though.
