Rush in 5.1 surround

I cant wait for the the new album...Though I agree with Shadorne re past recordings. Ghost, do you have Replayx3 dvd. I think by far the best sounding yet...

Ghost rider,

May have to go out and purchase another copy of Snakes..I cannot put this one away...I think its probably the best thing they have done since Roll the Bones.....Agree with Soul re the production....Was at the MSG in NY the S/A material was tight, really tight.......

Quick question...What are your thoughts on Caress of Steel? You are a true fan and I would like to hear your opinion..

Ghost_rider,

Now I KNOW you are a true fan. Couldn't agree with you more about C of S...It is a album...I believe the band recorded some of the material "outside" of the studio(several of the acoustic parts if not mistaken) The birds in the background etc are the real thing)..Anyways.. You nailed it on Geddy's voice. He was killer on this album. I get the chills listening to his voice..You probably have this but Martin Propof did i book basically covers each tour the band has done. Opening acts, songs on tour, memorable dates...Good stuff...

I collect rock memorabilia for my HT room. I can't wait to see the transfers!!!!

SOULGOOBER,

Hold Your Fire came out when I was in college. I remember saying to myself "How much keyboards are these guys going to use"?....I do think it is some of Neil's best writing...

HAAAAAA. Another fan!!! Radical Ushers of the Second Hemisphere!!!

shadorne,

Excellent sound and video......R30 is well worth the price of admission!!!

My wife wanted to pick me up the S/A with the DvD and 5.1 mix...I already have the cd....Was wondering if the bonus stuff is worth it or not....

Shadorne,
did you purchase the R30 box set?

Going to the Dr. today to get my ears checked.. My hearing must be off. I find the R30 to be the best the band has put out both audio and video...

Ghost_ Rider,,,you out there??? Any thoughts on this one??

Shardone,

Exit...is my favorite live album..I agree the band sounds very, very tight. This is probably due to the fact that they picked the best of several shows for this album. It is considered a very over produced album,(especially by the band).

As far as R30, I was wondering maybe my hearing is based on my system. Don't get me wrong it is great for ht, but I believe on certain things ( dvd concerts) It may come up a little short in certain areas.... So to review my assesment of R30. "Its the best sound and video the band has put out that I have heard on my system.

P.s. Your system is very impressive by the way.....

Ghost rider,
I have been busy with the holidays and hadn't listened and/or watched anything in a few weeks. Last night I watched the Replay x3 DvD's. Then sampled some of the Rio and R30 tracks. They are a band that I totally cannot stop listening to and have to remember that..I know my system is not like most on this forum and would have to agree may have some limitations. However, ne of the reasons I got into this hobby to give me a way of bringing the concert experience of my favorite bands home not to pick apart how they were recorded, compression of sound, bla, bla, bla....You end up listening for the wrong reason, for negatives of the recordings.. When 90,000 people sing every single note to YYZ it should give you the chills not make you wonder why it was recorded a certain way.....Had a beer and jumped up and down with 90k of my fellow Rush fans last night...Got the chill back!!!!

I was looking at your system again..Quick question...I recently placed 22lbs of concrete on top of sub(wrapped in rubber mesh and cloth). I also put the same under it and found a tremendous improvement in bass response. I noticed you did something similar with your mains...Would like to here what kind of improvement you found..I currently have my mains spiked( rug,extra padding on concrete floor)..

Hemispheres..My wife got that one for me. I look to add some better pictures over the weekend!..Got to ask you where you got those prints? Do you have lights on them..Pictures look like they are glowing...AWESOME...

Ghost-rider,

Picked up the concrete stones last night...Will let you know what the results are...Will keep an eye out for the pics...Enjoy your holiday...
