They want to rake in as much cash as they can before they're done. I don't blame them, but don't act it's some kind of magnanimous gesture to their fans. Someone certainly needs to grow up.

Sorry for being a dick, but I think I'm one of maybe three people who are disappointed in the new material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always love to get a souvenir of the tour...and nothing beats a live album/DVD to always have the memory of the tour. If you could go back and have an official release of the Tour of the Hemispheres, or the Waves tour....would that not be awesome? So I don't get any negative thoughts about doing live albums. It's for the fans....what's wrong with that? And if you think it's a money grab...grow the f**k up.

JimboGames Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yes. The guys are no spring chickens and they need to exploit the marketing as often as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amish_ashaman Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 So many of my favorite bands release every show, let alone every tour, of course most of those bands change the setlist nightly (I'd love for Rush to do that). The Dead, Phish, Pearl Jam, Mule, Wilco, Umphrey's, Dylan, Bright Eyes, Felice, etc. These bands not only change the setlist nightly, but some will go 5-6 shows (or more) without repeating one song. I've got at least 100 Pearl Jam shows, probably 50 Phish shows and I don't know how many Dead shows, so I sure as hell want as many live shows from my favorite band (Rush!!!) as I can get.

As long as they are playing long shows and giving the effort they give every time out, who cares? With the setlists and the length of the shows we've been getting lately, I feel like I'm getting my money's worth at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barchetta90480 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) 'Course they should - we won't get to see that show in Europe. For the chance of listening to MP live (and to other more or less resurrected treasures from the vaults), we'll need a live album. In fact, Rush should keep on releasing one after every tour. And they should have a look at their back catalogue, too. If they're into cashing it in with live releases from the Hemispheres, Signals or Presto tours (or any other, for that matter), let me get my credit card ready. Capitalism has never been more embraced by me ... Edited June 3, 2010 by barchetta90480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
