I haven't either. I know it's only about an hour long, so it isn't an entire show.

It's Rush in their prime, so of course it's good. Geddy's bass sounds better than from any other era on this one (my opinion). Can't wait to see this on DVD quality instead of VHS...

actually i thought the gup tour (in slc) was maybe the weakest show compared to the rest......still excellant but it was one show that didn't surpass the previous

GUP, ESL and a ASOH are all set to come out on DVD at some point in time this year. ESL has now been pushed back to March 7.

Alex seems to want to have all 3 DVD's in one set, so that is the reason for the delay. No timetable as to when it will be released. It might take a while since the boys are apparently heading back to the studio.

Here is the update:

Rush Boxes Up Vintage Concert Videos

April 05, 2006, 4:30 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Three vintage Rush home videos will make their DVD debut as part of the boxed set "Rush Replay X 3," due June 13 via Mercury/UME. The collection will include 1982's "Exit ... Stage Left," 1985's "Grace Under Pressure" and 1991's "A Show of Hands," plus a previously unreleased audio CD version of "Grace Under Pressure."

As previously reported, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson created new stereo mixes for the releases, which are presented in 5.1 Surround Sound. Tour booklets from the three concerts have also been reprinted for the set.

Filmed in 1981 in Montreal, "Exit ... Stage Left" spotlights Rush in its early career heyday as it performs such tracks as "Red Barchetta," "YYZ," "Tom Sawyer," "Limelight" and "Closer to the Heart."

"Grace Under Pressure" was taped in Rush's Toronto homebase and blends hits like "New World Man" and "The Spirit of Radio" with more uncommon fare like "Witch Hunt," "The Enemy Within" and "The Weapon." The latter track is accompanied by a video featuring actor Joe Flaherty as his "SCTV" character Count Floyd.

"A Show of Hands" was taped in 1988 in Birmingham, England, and was issued in tandem with a live album of the same name. Peart's nightly drum solo appears here for the first time on an official release. Other highlights include "Turn the Page," "Marathon" and a closing medley of "2112"/"La Villa Strangiato"/"In the Mood."

Rush is in the early stages of work on its first studio album since 2002's "Vapor Trails."

i'm anticipating exit stage left to be rather muddy unless it gets a real face lift

I was thinking the same thing.

Really looking forward to Grace Under Pressure and A Show of Hands though.
