I bought it....

Which one? the 6 BR or the 10 DVD?

Apparently, all the regular live shows are their original releases, that is, for example, with R30's BR disc, it's the whole show but not all of the extras, but the DVD has all of the extras but not the whole show. There's more to it than that, but as someone who already owns all the DVDs for RIR (2DVD), R30 (the 2CD/2DVD set in fact), S&A Live (3DVD), Time Machine (1DVD), and the recent Clockwork Angels Tour (the deluxe set), I don't feel compelled to re-buy the DVDs.

My only issue is having to get a BR player to play all of these with. Ah well. I'd rather buy the box set first and worry about playing them later on.

Blu-ray players aren't free, but they're getting really dirt cheap these days. I'm sure you could find a basic one for like $50, and "basic" in the case of a Blu-ray player includes hi-def audio and video outputs and a bunch of stuff that DVD players never even had. The player will cost you less than the discs.

That's the ironic part. And I've seen plenty of Under-$100 BR players at Wal Mart and the like in the last year or two and have thought about getting them, I still need to get an HDTV, as well. Unfortunately, both purchases might not happen for me until next year, unless I happen to get some very nice gifts for Christmas!

I bought the BluRay. As I already have Rush in Rio, R30, S&A, on DVD. Having R30's full show will be nice, but I mainly bought the boxset for the full 2112, and the other goodies.

By the way, I use my Ps3 as my BluRay player, which I mainly bought it for. The games, and being able to play scratched dvds my dvd wouldn't play, are extras.

To the delight of fans, the bonus disc will include all 8 songs from the Laura Secord Secondary School show in 1974 which features original drummer John Rutsey. That recording includes 2 Rush originals “I’ve Been Runnin;” and “The Loser”, as well as their cover of Larry William’s “Bad Boy”, made famous by The Beatles.

Laura Secord Secondary School 1974
1) Need Some Love
2) Before and After
3) Best I Can
4) I’ve Been Runnin’
5) Bad Boy
6) The Loser
7) Working Man
8) In the Mood (partial)

Wow! This is the first time it's been confirmed that "Before And After" was ever played live! IIRC, this leaves "Take A Friend" as the only track off the debut never performed live (as far as we know).

EDIT - Now there's a video ad for the set:

They're killing me. I have like 85 percent of this release already. At least the art book will be cool.

There really isn't enough unreleased Rush material (read: basically none) to do any such thing. They typically work a song into shape and release it, or cut it and forget about it forever.

To be fair, he did say "rare" to. Garden Road is a really cool song, would be fun to hear it as part of a medley.

To be perfectly honest, I'd rather them make a new album than go on another tour.

Saw that yesterday. I find it funny how he says that, plus he knows "Alex is ready to write" as well, but it's not Neil that is the holdup.

I find Geddy's statement weird, because both he and Alex seem to be willing to tour, and according to Rush is a Band blog Neil's drum tech recently said it's time to design a new kit for him.

Anyway, https://rushpetition.com/ is open and you can vote for unplayed songs you'd like to hear next year. I picked Emotion Detector, Available Light, Everyday Glory, Totem and Bravest Face.

That's funny that The Fountain of Lamneth is included, when it was played on the Caress of Steel tour a few times. I know the Rush set list website says it wasn't, but the Contents Under Pressure book says it was, and considering that was done with major input by the band, I am more willing to trust them than random fans who put that site together and claim they don't remember it being played.

FYI guys, the Best Buy version comes with an exclusive bonus DVD (I bought the Blu-ray set) that has three more songs from the Test For Echo concert, interview and some more stuff. Does anyone know if other retailers have their own exclusives?

Well, it's not like they'd play it even if it was voted #1!

The Letter M · « **Reply #1361 on:** November 13, 2014, 10:10:20 AM »

UGH... I am kind of mad about this but I'm glad I didn't pre-order the set since Best Buy is exclusives that come from the part of the box set that is exclusive to the set itself!!! Why bother cutting out those 3 Molson '97 tracks if they're the first time being released?!

Really, though, they just need to make all these NEW extras (Laura Secord, Molson '97, other shows and songs) available on a separate release.

*Sigh* Hopefully I can get my hands on the Best Buy exclusive BR set before they sell out.

I don't think there's been any conclusive proof that it was...even from the band. I recently read an interview with Alex Lifeson addressing this exact issue, and his answer was vague. Essentially, he said "Maybe...we might have...but it was just too long ago...I don't remember..." I think the fansite simply doesn't find that to be conclusive enough to say absolutely that *it was played*... Most people conclude that since there was one or two headlining shows, and the band has a reputation for playing side-longs when they were new, it fits the pattern that they most likely would have...but that's still not conclusive proof. There are no existing, verified setlists from those extremely rare headlining gigs from the CoS tour...only opening sets.

Mosh · « **Reply #1363 on:** November 13, 2014, 11:11:33 PM »

Even if it was played (and at this point that seems insanely unlikely), it was only a couple times at most. Might as well throw it in the poll.

By the way, I have a very good feeling that if they do a tour next year, they'll do Jacob's Ladder. They've been good about bringing back old songs, especially ones that people have been eager to hear. The last tour was filled with gems. Jacob's Ladder is really the last big one that people have been pining for and now seems like the right time for it. It'll also be the 35th anniversary of Permanent Waves, would be a great way to celebrate.
