"People" such as whom, exactly? This might be the best explanation yet as to why there is no live material this time around. I wonder if it is done or if GUP would be the last time (assuming there is a box set and that it has live material in it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron2112 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 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......

I'm ordering the Japanese stand alone CD for more than I want to pay and I'm hoping the mastering is the same and not a previous mastering. The CD has been my level of investment for these 40's since 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCounterRevolution Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I received my Signals box set and listened to the 5.1 Blue Ray and what a difference experience the album is in 5.1. It is pretty cool, not sure I preferer it to the regular album mix, but enjoyed it. I do think if they offered the CD only, I would have went that route and like everyone would have loved a live CD from this tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I heard. I did have quite a few beers though. Was interesting to hear Terry say he's a big fan of the 80s albums that he didn't produce. Also that Geddy recorded YYZ using his brand new Steinberger bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78jazz Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 My bass book mentions '79, so this was a piece of info I was aware of. What I forget is when prototypes were available. I just checked The Bass Book by Tony Bacon and Barry Moorhouse. On page 52, it states that the bass was shows at a trade show in 1979. Steinberger tried to sell the design to other companies with no success, so he and 3 partners formed Steinberger Sound in December 1980. This company launched the bass at 2 large music trade shows in Frankfurt in 1981. Because of this, I am not buying the idea that Geddy had a Steinberger while recording Moving Pictures. Given the audio recordings available from this, my guess is that he picked his up in January 1983. I could be wrong on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Interesting. I can only go by what Broon told us. Certainly by 83 he would have stopped working in the studio with Rush, so unless he's getting really mixed up Ged must have got hold of that bass before then.

Rush Didact Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I really struggle with the idea of Ged using the Steinberger on YYZ. It was my understanding that he got one for touring reasons, because the neck wouldn't get in the way of his mountain of synthesizers. Why would he have bought one in 1980 and then not used it live until the p/g tour? It just doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
