Found this over the weekend at my parents' house.
Bought this in 1999 for about 20 dollars.

I ended up buying this on VHS off ebay, like, ten years ago, just so I could watch it.

The day it arrived they announced that it was coming out on DVD.

That's awesome! I never bought that one on VHS, but I do have Live in Tokyo and Five Years on VHS.

I have this one on dvd. But I have a lot of VHS from 1982-83-84 from Rush, Genesis, Styx, Jethro Tull. All of them in perfect condition. I'm taking good care of my stuff.

Yeah, it triggered lots of memories from the late 90s!
I started listening to DT around 1994 (a friend of my brother had just returned from the US and brought a lot of new music). My brother got Awake and Falling into Infinity for Christmas and in 99, when I was 14, I saved some money and ended up buying this VHS (though my first DT purchase was the cassette of ACoS).

That sounds amazing. Could you share some pictures of them?

No problem but I have no idea how to upload a pic here.

Orbert · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2016, 09:55:14 AM »

The pics have to be hosted elsewhere (imgur, etc.). Then copy the URL for the picture and paste it into a post between "img" tags (open with brackets, close with brackets and slash).

Wow, that's cool!

I found my old LSFNY 3cd set (the original version of the burning towers, that I bought right before 9/11) in my parent's garage awhile ago. I hopped on over to ebay to see what it's worth today, and was surprised. (I also have an original cd of WDADU -- apparently that's not worth anywhere near as much, lol.)

I was sooo excited as a teenager when I found a VHS copy of Live in Tokyo at my local Blockbuster. I must have rented it dozens of times. I was really upset when I went there one time to rent it, only to discover that someone else had taken it out. Friday night ruined!

Take a look at my avatar. Couldn't put the image here but was able to post them as my avatar. From left to right, Rush exit stage left (1982), Genesis 3 sides live (1982), Styx caught in the act (1984), Rush grace under pressure tour (1984) and Jethro Tull slipstream (1985). The oldest VHS tapes I have.

Thank you sir! And one good thing about the Exit stage left vhs is that it was film in march 1981 in Montreal and I was at that show. A perfect musical performance. I don't know if they will come back for one more album and maybe a tour but they were certainly still doing great music with their last album.
