Irenicus Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Not forcing me. Everyone enjoy.... :)I meant that, if you really want to (legally) get the bonus material, you are forced to buy this boxset. How is this different from any other box set, compilation, etc. that has ever been released?Big difference, because no other compilation/boxset ever had so much previously unreleased bonus material that you won't be able to get seperately (at least I highly doubt they would release such odd vault stuff seperately). In fact, the only other case I can think of are the 2 VT remixes on Retrospective 3, but that's just 2 tracks and a single CD. Plus you can download those seperately from iTunes if you want. So yeah, a total cash grab. They know that most (or at least big part) of the fans want to have such rare old live stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBob Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Meh,If this disc where to have the full Live Hemispheres suite, then I'd think about buying it. I've heard so many awesome stories from fans at those times who got to here those songs live. For newer (younger) fans like me, it sucks so hard I'll never get to hear Hemisphere live.

savagegrace26 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I used to care about Rush live releases up to Rush In Rio. After that they started releasing them far too often for them to feel "special" anymore. Every live release before RIR was a summation of an era and a signal that they were going to shift into a new musical direction. They represented something signifigant. Now they're just live releases... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualbob64 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm a retard I guess but I have read the description a hundred times on Rush.com,and I can't figure out if the R30 disc on Bluray contains the bonus footage?If it does I will buy it for that reason,and the bonus disc of course.

MMCXII Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Say what you want, but this is definitely a complete cash grab. Basically forcing fans to buy all those live releases AGAIN, just to get this rare bonus stuff. And I'm sure it won't be cheap. Also..."The three of us just had a meeting," guitarist Alex Lifeson told Rolling Stone in March. "We said, 'Let's not talk about anything band-wise for the next year. Let's separate ourselves and come back rejuvenated.' Unfortunately, the other people at that meeting didn't hear what we were talking about, so there are already plans being made for spring of 2015. It's going to be a 41st anniversary tour, or whatever they're going to call it."Are they actually implying that their label guys decide whether they tour or not? I hope it's just their weird sense of humour again...Not forcing me. Everyone enjoy.... :) I'm with you. How is this different from any other box set, compilation, etc. that has ever been released? We must remember that not everyone goes out and buys every single Rush item the second it goes on sale. For the more casual fan (those willing to to fork over $100 or so) that doesn't have everything the band ever put out - this would be a nice purchase. I, myself, have most of this, but not on blu-ray. So I'm contemplating asking Santa.... Clem. That's my main reason too.

When you do something four times as often as you used to, it doesn't feel as special. What really kills me is even when they did it once every four years, they still didn't give us the entire concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
