Official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyMwIdrvpHI&feature=share

Very nice.

Based on the trailer, I suspect this will be another Rush live release I won't get a lot of mileage out of because of Geddy's current live vocals. 

That aside, it will be great to get Losing It on a live DVD finally. :coolio :hat

I've skipped the last few DVDs but I'm getting this for sure.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Me too.  I've bought all of the live cd's that they have released but haven't purchased too many of the dvds.  This one is a must.

It's such a shame the tour never came to Europe, but I'm def getting this when it comes out - new Rush AND Paradise Lost DVDs on the same day = :2metal:
Based on the trailer, I suspect this will be another Rush live release I won't get a lot of mileage out of because of Geddy's current live vocals.
I think one of the reasons they chose two lower register songs (Bones and Jacob) as the full preview videos is that Geddy's weaknesses aren't so audible and therefore may not scare away potential buyers.

I've seen Rush 5 times in my life, and for whatever reasons, I just didn't make that big of an effort to get to this last tour cycle. Once I heard about the stage show and everything about this tour, I totally kicked myself for not going. I will be  picking up the R40 video release for sure!  :tup

Why is that - because of Geddy's voice? Personally, I'm glad they've released a video and CD from every tour starting with the Vapor Trails tour - saves me the hassle of having to find a good quality bootleg from each tour! And since the VT tour, they've shaken up the setlist significantly more from tour to tour than they did before Neil's tragedies (besides the R30 tour). So IMO it's worth getting every one of their live releases. And now with the R40 box set, you can get them all together plus a bunch of bonus stuff.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

No, Geddy has nothing to do with it. I just don't have a huge interest in Rush. This past tour was special, and I'm making an exception.

Rush to me these days is "just another band". Has been for a long time. Clockwork Angels was excellent, but to me, they have never come close to touching Hemispheres through Moving Pictures. That's why I fell in love with Dream Theater, as they picked up where 1981 Rush left off.

I thought Snakes And Arrows blew, while I do enjoy Vapor Trails, well most of it. I haven't been moved to buy the live offerings.
But I enjoyed the boots of the last tour, and the setlist is amazing. An untouchable 2nd set.

re the bolded.... Of course they haven't.  Nobody has.  Those are God-tier albums, and arguably the best run of four albums ever (imo, they are... only Floyd's run of DSOTM to The Wall comes close to matching it).  If that's the standard you expect them to be held to consistently, then of course you're going to be disappointed.  They had some winners, and some clunkers - but even in the clunkers, there were plenty of songs to love.  And even with S&A Live, they brought out enough from the vault to make it worthwhile.

Sorry... brain fart at 12:30am.  Considering AFTK is my #3 album of all time, I always default to thinking about that four album run.

Absolutely.

My point was late 70's/turn if the decade Rush is some of my all time favorite music. I know Power Windows is highly regarded but it's not the direction I wanted Rush to go in. They really became a different band for me.

Geddy sounds top notch, and nothing beats a real acoustic 12-string.
