Fresh from the oven:

NDV plays Neil Peart grooves from Hemispheres, Grace and Signals

Great stuff as always from Nick!

Five songs from three Rush albums. Hemispheres Signals and Grace Under Pressure. Points for not choosing Moving Pictures.

On a different note, I cracked open Rush's Golden Ale this weekend. Sat back with some friends and listened to a couple records. The beer is okay. It's a golden ale. You're paying for the Rush label. Anyone in the U.S. thinking of getting it, if you're a beer person, it isn't really anything spectacular. Decent, but dozens of beers taste just like it.

Kinda figured that but I'm not a beer drinker anyway. I AM interested in the mustard, however but haven't done anything about that yet.

I actually quite liked the beer. Had it with some steak.

Mustard, on the other hand, is Satan's smegma, so....

Seems like a nice way to retire. Makes me sad thinking about Neil’s passing so soon after the band ended, but I’m glad Geddy and Alex are enjoying themselves.

I still can't believe it's already been 3 years since he passed. Still makes me sad.

Supposedly the beer is now about a 90 minute drive to Pennsylvania since it's now available in the US. Even that's not enough to get me to try it. I need to find a place that sells their mustard. That's what I want.

jammindude · « **Reply #6321 on:** March 03, 2023, 07:43:11 AM »

Well, from out of nowhere, it looks like there’s going to be a 40th anniversary box set of Signals after all.

The bells and whistles and the Dolby Atmos mix sound cool, but no live show kind of ruins it for me.

Wow...that's disappointing. The trinkets are kind of cool, but it's otherwise completely worthless for anyone who isn't a completist or hasn't fallen prey to the vinyl resurgence. I might consider buying the picture disc for $36 just as a piece of art.

Setlist Scotty · « **Reply #6323 on:** March 03, 2023, 09:44:48 AM »

Yeah, I saw that and immediately thought "that's a hard pass for me!" No freaking way would I consider buying any of those. Really lame that they didn't include any sort of live disc. You'd think they would have known what really sells these packages. Hopefully they'll get the message. Already saw a lot of negative reactions to Rush's official Facebook post, so it's clear there's a lot of disappointment.

Mosh · « **Reply #6324 on:** March 03, 2023, 09:48:12 AM »

Is there a known show from this tour that would make sense to be included? Not versed in the Rush bootleg scene.

It seems like a pretty lame package, seems like they want to milk the back catalog but the vault is not large.

At the very least, you can be sure that they have some soundboard recordings of shows, even if there aren't any multi-track recordings. And given the way technology is today (just look at what they did with the Beatles documentary), they still could tweak the soundboard recording to improve it.

The Letter M · « **Reply #6326 on:** March 03, 2023, 04:57:04 PM »

Just saw the reveal video, and yeah, that IS pretty disappointing after the MP and AFTK box sets. At least the PEW band HEMI sets had SOME live stuff, if not full shows. Once I saw the artbook only had 2 discs, I knew it wasn't for me. Such a shame. I had high hopes they'd surprise us with some Holy Grail Signals Tour soundboard, but I guess it wasn't in the cards. Easy pass. I'd rather try and go back and get the 2112, HEMI, and PEW sets that I don't have yet to go with my AFTK and MP sets.

I don’t have any interest in the live shows anyway, but might have been interested in a remix (I’m a sucker for those). Weird that they just remastered it again (why did they remaster it in 2015? For vinyl?). Don’t see any reason to pick this up unless you want the artwork.

Maybe they do, but not great quality, but regardless the package should contain some live material, even a great audience recording (the infamous 'Signals Over London' bootleg comes to mind), Rush wouldn't be the first band to release an audience sourced live album.

Richard Chycki being involved means it's going to sound like shit compared to the great remasters from years past anyway.

I wanted a single CD of the new edition and I'm not paying $230 to get one. So basically I lose.

Guess I'll just wait for Geddy's book and hope he does some signings.
