RUSH’S FIRST THREE CONCERT HOMEVIDEOS DEBUT ON DVD IN
RUSH REPLAY X 3 BOX SET
Four-Disc Package Features New 5.1 Surround Sound And Stereo Mixes


The band’s first three concert homevideos, each of which is out of print in any format, will be issued for the first time together and on DVD. The four-disc box set Rush Replay x 3 (Mercury/UMe), released June 13, 2006, combines the three DVDs-- Exit…Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure and A Show Of Hands--with a never-before-released CD soundtrack version of Grace Under Pressure.

Each DVD features new 5.1 surround sound and stereo mixes created by guitarist Alex Lifeson and Mike Fraser from the original concert multi-tracks as well as digitally transferred and remastered visuals. The package also includes mini reprints of the original tour booklets for the three concerts.

In 1981, the double LP Exit…Stage Left was released. The 60-minute homevideo of the same name, filmed March 27, 1981 at The Forum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, includes “Limelight,” “Tom Sawyer,” “The Trees,” “Xanadu,” “Red Barchetta,” “Freewill,” “Closer To The Heart” and “YYZ.”

The 70-minute-plus Grace Under Pressure, released 1985, was shot at Maple Leaf Gardens in Rush’s hometown of Toronto. Some of the songs included are; as “The Spirit Of Radio” ,“New World Man” “The Enemy Within,” “Distant Early Warning,” “Red Sector A,” , “Witch Hunt” and a finale of “Vital Signs”/“Finding My Way”/“In the Mood.”

A Show Of Hands released in 1991 is the the 90-minute video of a 1988 concert in Birmingham, England nearly duplicates the songs on the same-named live album. Perennial favorites were joined by newer songs such as “Marathon,” “Turn The Page,” “Manhattan Project” and “Force Ten,” plus an encore medley of “2112”/“La Villa Strangiato”/“In The Mood.”

You like Rush?

Yep. I saw them in concert in 9th grade and NO ONE would go with me so my mom took me. lol

Turn the Page and Marathon are excellent live songs. It's too bad they don't play more HYF and Power Windows stuff on tour.

Was that in 1994 up in Jax?

No I believe it was 91 or 92. Counterparts Tour. Hmm.. maybe I was in 10th grade?

Counterparts Tour was in 1994. They were in FL in March. I remember going to Orlando, Jax, and St. Pete to see them since they were here during Spring Break.

I was probably at the show she was at, provided she was in JAX at the time.

u forgot 'freewill'

She forgot the Fear Trilogy (Witch Hunt, The Weapon, The Enemy Within) on Grace Under Pressure. Since there are now 4 parts to Fear I would love for the boys to play that next tour.

Pssst, guys - I think she was just pointing out the songs she really likes.

Glad I could help.

Thanks Mgo.

"Time Stand Still" is still my favorite of all time.

If Aimee Mann didn't look like she was 65 pounds in that video, I totally would've wanted to nail her.

Actually, I still did.

But that's neither here nor there. In fact it's HERE, and by here, I mean my pants.

She's always looked like she's weighed 65 lbs. Well, I think in the 90's she looked like 50 lbs...

Many a RACK to you on that choice.

according to best buy its out tomorrow

There's a short wait on Netflix for this. Let us know how they are.

$24.99. I will probably go pick it up after work.

got it.........into 'xanadu' right now-----so far thumbs up

the tom sawyer live video i say on mtv was this one

I will probably put the Grace Under Pressure video in first.

I think I'll throw in A Show of Hands first, because "Marathon", and "Turn the Page" are two of their finest songs (live or otherwise), and are tunes we haven't heard/seen very often, if hardly ever, since the mid-to-late 80s.

Good call!

GUP has the Fear Trilogy, which kicks ass.

Haven't watched A Show of Hands yet, but I really like the looks of the setlist. It's a shame that Lock And Key was not in there. Witch Hunt was on the CD and not the DVD.

The first 2 concerts are pretty strong. Exit...Stage Left was much better than I remembered it.

'show of hands' was the weakest------too much technology to juggle live although manhatten project and marathon shine

I got through most of A Show of Hands tonight before the hockey game started. Nice to see that YYZ wasn't even listed on the track list. Prime Mover was a nice surprise.

Netflix says there is still a "short wait" for disc 1.

Starting to get impatient.

But discs two and three are available now. Which shows are these?

I'm assuming they're GUP and ASOH.

I would assume that is correct if they go in order. Disc 4 would be the GUP audio disc.

I did not know that was included. Makes sense, though. Rack it.
