replay x3: sound quality complaints?


Hey! I've been following RUSH since power windows days and I have all three concerts on VHS. I look at this way, the fact that they actually released all of them on DVD with an extra audio CD of grace under pressure (in the top three of their best albums) is a degree of respect to their fans (I'm hearing $35.00 USD or less for the whole box!). No matter how many times you try, the music of RUSH is, by far, real and prolific! Going back as far as caress of steel/2112/fly by night era, very few bands dared put out music like they did and in the way that they did it. What are you really buying it for - the sound or the video regardless their simultaneity. You know how many bootlegs/imports are out there (vinyl, audio tape, CD) that are burn downs of these concerts that run a ton more! Transferring something vintage to a different type of media - in some ways - preserves the actual meaning of the idea. Besides, there are ways that a person can improve the sound quality of a personally-unsatisified realesed multimedia that they've bought. I'd rather have the guys be writing new material rather than remastering.

BTW: i have some interesting artifacts of the band. If you are a buyer, collector, or maybe curious contact me at [email protected].

...it takes a little more persistence to get up and go the distance...
