Grace Under Pressure 40th boxed set?

[starscreamsrevenge]

I'm happy to be proven wrong if an announcement comes in September for a release around Christmas time, but I think the pattern now is about April time in the 41st year (which is what Moving Pictures and the Signals sets have been): 

 

Moving Pictures 40th - Released on

 

April 15th 2022

 

 

Signals 40th - Released on

 

April 28th 2023

 

 

I suppose it's better to be different! :)

We're all just guessing so who knows, but that was all a result of covid delays and the pattern was completely different before.

It's all moot if this box doesn't contain a high quality audio and/or video recording of a complete p/g show. And throw in dome 3-d glasses otherwise I will be listening in one half d

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

Without good quality live material, this release is going to SUCK.

That's very possible too.

Saw on Amazon (it popped up for some reason) the 2025 calendar is going to be Power Windows 40th anniversary related, and I thought that nothing came out about GuP's 40th??

 

Still disappointed with the Signals anniversary release not having anything official live...

 

I still think they need a 50th of Rush, FBN, and CoS with some good live stuff.....

Maybe an Anniversary Edition of Archives

Last week I tried to politely pry a bit with someone who I think would know and while I have no confirmed info I personally trust this person enough to feel comfortable now that stuff is still coming, and I’m usually pretty pessimistic in general. It sounds like, and I’m not swearing to anything, but it sounds like GUP might be delayed to spring so there can also be some type of 50th product too. So I’m no longer stressed about not getting news of it yet.

I am hoping we get a complete recording of a show we don't have in circulation. Perhaps September 22?

 

As for the 50th talk, I also wonder if some ATWAS box set with all 3 nights is released for that (yes, I would grab it up in a heartbeat).

I would love that, or something similar, and maybe so. I don't even have a hint of what it could be (assuming it's anything at all) but I doubt seriously it'll be another old live show from a tour that we just got a box set for in the last few years. If we do get a 50th package of some kind my guess (because again, I'm generally pessimistic) is that it will be some kind of collection of all the studio albums in elaborate packaging or something similar without any significant unreleased content. I'd love for some sort of sequel to the R40 package though with more live footage. Who knows. If we are getting something for the 50th it would seem it would have to be announced in the next few weeks or so, we should know soon.

you are incorrect when you assume it will be "without any significant unreleased content", but you were correct about grace

Thanks for clarifying and that’s extremely encouraging to hear! Again, I wasn’t claiming to have any specific info other than I got some general encouragement that stuff was coming from someone I trust. Glad to hear you confirm that even further.

9/22/83 ? That was one of the RCMH shows.  
9/22/84 - Maple Leaf Gardens.


Both of those would go a long way to make up for the SIG40 suck.

If they don't hire an excellent engineer to mix this in surround, I won't buy this even with an unreleased live album.

I'm done trying to figure out what might be included. I'm hoping for a stand alone CD package with something...anything previously unreleased. It's becoming increasing clear that I am not in the desired demographic for these releases. C'est la vie.

Define significant.

i still find it hard to believe that none of those Radio City Shows were recorded from the board. The could make a fantastic composite from that run. And then of course the alternate night at the Gardens.....

5.1 does nothing for me and won't factor in my decision but I can understand why others would want that.

[Rush Didact]

Geddy mentioned that something is being done with the Toronto '97 show in that Conan O'Brien thing a couple months ago, so maybe releasing that entire concert is part of the 50th plans.  I'd be happy with that.

 

I can say this, though: they really know how to miss a deadline.  It'd be a lot more exciting to have something big announced on the actual anniversary, rather than months or years after the fact...

We're not getting any younger.

will there be any new unreleased stuff for GUP40? Also, will the "significant unreleased content" for the 50th be audio or video or both?

Last question, when is the 50th anniversary thing coming? Or when will it be announced?

Sometime in the next decade I presume.

Risky bet, you sure about that?
