Pretty crazy to think that Fly by Night has remained one of their classic rock radio staples, yet hasn't been played by the band since 1978.

I thought I'd ask this here as well regarding the R40 boxset, any feedback would be appreciated.

I want some info from people who got the Rush R40 boxset. I'm thinking of picking this one up since I've been in a very heavy Rush mood of late. I got the Clockworks Bluray and was kinda surprised at the inconsistent quality of the sound throughout the concert. I thought the stereo mix was very disappointing but the 5.1 mix is a really mixed bag. Sometimes it's perfect and many times it's not.

I have a question regarding the sound of the other discs on here. Especially the Cleveland disc. how does it compare to the Clockworks disc?
Plus how does the stuff from Rush in Rio & Snakes and Arrows sound/look? I have those and R30 on DVD but won't mind the upgrade to bluray. I know R30 seems to be regarded as pretty much the best sounding and looking disc of them all. The bonus disc is nice but that wouldn't be the only reason I'd be getting this.

I don't mind splurging a bit to get this box set and I'll sell off the Clockworks bluray disc to get the R40 live disc. I'd love to hear thoughts on those who got this.

To piggyback on that, I'm actually a bit confused on what R40 actually contains. Is there stuff on there that isn't found on any other DVD? Is that stuff worth getting the box set for if so? Or is it just their recent DVDs repackaged?

jammindude · « **Reply #1788 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:44:59 PM »

I haven't really gone through them with a kickbutt system to truly check out the sound, so I can't answer the first one.

As to the second, I can say that there are no extras. I got it because I had most of these on DVD and not BluRay, and I didn't own Snakes and Arrows Live at all, and I had always wanted to. This was a good opportunity for me to upgrade to BR and pick up SAAL in one shot...so it was worth it to me.

There's a bonus disc containing a show with John Rutsey, a show from the 2112 tour, some footage from a Test For Echo show, and the Rock Hall induction.

That one bonus disk is awesome. Also they added songs that were not on the R30 disk that wasn't on the original disk.

I should've clarified I wasn't asking a sound comparison of audiophile level of detail just a general listening experience between the two concert mixes. Is the Time Machine blruay mix the same sort of listen as Clockworks or better, more consistent,etc.. that kind of stuff?

I thought that was stuff that was already a bonus in one of the other discs?

Oh well....my bad.

One disk of stuff never released.

jammindude · « **Reply #1794 on:** August 06, 2016, 09:09:22 PM »

I confess. My life is a circus. I bought it at the R40 concert, and I haven't even had a chance to listen to any of it.

My life is so busy, that my once a month CD hauls end up being a collection of CD's I own but never listen to. I only get to listen to music on my fairly brief commute to work, and I *never* get to watch music videos any more.

Well looks like some people are selling the bonus disc on ebay. I think I'll just buy the DVDs I'm missing and the bonus disc separately.

Wow! So many people voted The Garden as the best song from Clockwork Angels. It's okay but I wouldn't say it's the best song from the album.

Same. I blew the money and only watched the extra disk.

The only material that was unreleased on that compilation box was the Test For Echo Tour footage. "The Capitol Theatre show from 1976 (which has been widely bootlegged) and the full Laura Secord show (parts of which were previously released.), right?

Oh, and the Hall of Fame induction ceremony...

Well, if you never got the single BD of R30, the 8 cut songs from the DVD are in the BD version of the R40 compilation as well. Other than that, I think you listed all of the "new" extras exclusive to the R40 set.

Since I don't own any of those concerts on BD (except the CA tour, I think), I've been wanting to get the BD set of the R40 compilation, just to upgrade my original DVD sets.

You know the old saying when something is too good to be true....
I bought this for less than $20 with shipping
https://shop-invisiblehands.co.uk/products/rush-timeless-wavelength-lp-pre-order-not-available-in-north-america

Strange after I ordered it I though this must be a scam, free shipping from England to Australia.
So it arrived today, packaging wasn't the best, a couple of the corners were slightly damaged, but all up arrived okay.

Even stranger is the shipping cost more than the record and the same label sent me, in a separate package another record that i didn't want or pay for.
The sound quality is really good and yes I know this show has been well circulated over the years.

So how much of the test for Echo tour footage is in the R40 box set??

I see what you did there.

I think it was about $90, but still.
