Rush Replay X 3 - New DVD
I did a search and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this anywhere on DVDTalk except in the Bargains area. And I'm putting this in here because it relates to Rush's music. This new DVD seems to have appeared out of the blue, but it is the one that I've (and millions of others) have been waiting for, for years.
I am so excited that Alex Lifeson was involved in remixing it to 5.1 surround sound. I would have been disappointed if they had released it with the original audio. That audio was fine in 1981 when I first saw this concert (saw it between 50-100 times that first year). I actually still have the original videotape (one of the first I recorded) somewhere in storage. I guess I can finally throw away that videotape!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Replay_X_3
This is set to be released tomorrow 6/13 and Best Buy has a confusing ad regarding this. They show that it is 3 DVDz & CD (Best Buy Exclusive - 4 songs) for $24.99. Then below it, it states that it is 2 for $20 when you buy both DVD and CD. Must be purchased on same receipt.
So, I'm not sure how much it will be costing, but I've been waiting for Exit... Stage Left on DVD since the first DVDz were released (1997).

I was confused by the 2 for 20 thing in the add, but look at it again. It is for the CD and DVD that is BELOW the Rush thing. It is for a differant product.
Anybody have any idea what the 4 bonus tracks are?

Hopefully they are live tracks. I really don't see why they would put studio tracks on a bonus disk for this type of box set.
Still, for 25 bucks this is very good value for a Rush fan.

The bonus tracks are tacked on at the end of the GUP tour cd. I don't believe it tells where they are from. Kinda silly since 3 of the 4 bonus tracks are already on the cd.

Yeah, the bonus tracks are all live, but there's no indication (as far as I can tell) where they came from. I really wish they would've released Territories from the A Show of Hands DVD and even Lock and Key from the A Show of Hands Laserdisc. Oh well, I still like the GUP Tour CD even if the bonus songs could've been better. And the set looks really nice, but they could've included something with a track listing inside. There's just the 3 tour booklet reproductions (which are nice), the 3 DVDs and the CD. Still, at 24.99 this is a really good deal IMO.

A friend and I are going to Best Buy at lunch to buy this. Less than an hour before I have it in my hands. I can hardly wait to crank up the surround sound tonight and watch Exit... Stage Left again.
Someone posted on Amazon the songs that are missing on the DVD that were on the original Exit... Stage Left double album. They are:
1. The Spirit of Radio
2. A Passage to Bangkok
3. Beneath, Between, and Behind
4. Jacob's Ladder
5. Broon's Bane
6. La Villa Strangiato
I'm really curious as to why they wouldn't include those songs on this DVD. I know in the old days of the VHS tape, they kept the music down to about an hour, but now they have 2 hours on DVD and they should have included those songs on the new DVD.
I personally don't like 'listening' to live songs because they leave a lot to be desired. Of course Rush sounds great in concert, but I would still like to 'see' them playing the live songs. Maybe they will put out another DVD in the near future that will include these songs and all of the other songs that were previously mentioned as being left out on the other DVDz.

Picked up a copy and Rushed home to play it. The video on Exit... Stage Left looks as good as it will ever be (remember it was kind of a hazy shoot) and the audio sounds as good as remixed 5.1 surround sound from 1981 will ever sound (without digitally enhancing the crap out of it). So, I am very satisfied.
I made it thru track # 5 Xanadu, but the dam 'The Trees, Instrumental, Xanadu' megamix of 28 minutes made me get back late to work!

I ducked out of work mid-morning to head to Best Buy and grabbed a copy. I agree with the comments above that the 4 bonus tracks on the audio are nice, but it would be a plus to know where they were recorded.
Ok...more importantly, this set is majorly SWEET! I listened to all three concerts and they bring back a lot of memories. Its funny that some of the older songs sound more true to form as they are played live using the same basic hardware on which they were first recorded. I also found the 5.1 DD mixes to be a little stronger and more rich than the 5.1 DTS, but that might be expected given the technology in place when these were recorded.
Each concert has its pluses...nice to see some of the Grace Under Pressure material done live...and to get a number of the Hold Your Fire tracks on A Show Of Hands was a definite treat.
For even the casual Rush fan, this is a great set. I already have Rush in Rio (which is quite good) and R30 (which is phenomenal) but feel this trio of concerts nicely complements what I had, as you get a few different songs and a different atmosphere in each set.
For the $25-$30 this set is on sale for this week, you can't go wrong...

The 5.1 mixes are awesome, very natural, and it is great that the PCM mixes are included...the ESL Laserdisc is analog audio only, so it major step up with all three audio choices.
As far as the bonus tracks go, I am pretty sure Limelight is just the audio from the ESL concert...I am not sure about the other tracks though.

This is a very nice package. I got to listen to the CD on the way home from work. Sounded great.
Went to play the Exit Stage Left DVD and there was a big old black spot on the DVD. Made parts of three songs unplayable. Ugh, back to the store for an exchange. First time I have ever had to bring back a defective DVD for an exchange.
It definately would have been nice if they could have included more/all of the Exit Stage left show, but if they don't have it they don't have it. YYZ with the drum solo would have been nice to have seen.

which Rush dvd is the one where they're playing in front of two giant washing machines/driers? I remembered some extended solo by Neil Peart and thought I remembered them performing YYZ but the R30 dvd, which I assumed was the one I saw, doesn't have that song. The show I'm looking for has been on INHD over the past year. Anyone know which dvd/concert I'm talking about?

Probably R30
R30 does not have YYZ but Rio does.

Here is the answer:
Rio does have YYZ, but the extended drum solo is O Baterista, later in the same show.
