What about RUSH??? Moving Pictures 30th anniversary set is out today...
I was just getting ready to leave the same message Don. Just got back from BB with my blu-ray copy.
I hope we get 2112 someday soon.
That's a BB exclusive for now, right?
Yes the blu-ray version is a BB exclusive but not the regular dvd version.
It's (DVD & Blu-Ray) available everywhere in Canada. I just saw it at HMV.
And since we are on the subject... I just got done listening to the 5.1 blu ray. It's awesome. Real aggressive mix. Their music is very suited to being spreadout. If you ever liked this album and you have a 5.1 system you should check it out. EXCELLENT.
I would love to see a Box Set that would Cover some performances by groups/Singers that played the Fillmore Easts and Wests. Do it like the recent Anniversary set for Woodstock or even release individual Groups shows. You go to Wolfgangs Vaults and liten you can hear the Treasure Trove of Incredible shows from these Venues.
