This is a new remastering of three of the early videos from Rush...
In the package you get:
Exit Stage Left
Grace Under Pressure
A Show of Hands
and
a bonus cd with the Grace Under Pressure soundtrack
(originally $34.99, no $24.99 on sale at Best Buy)
I am a huge Rush fan so I am really pleasantly surprised by the sound mix. I always thought that Exit Stage Left was just a muddy mess but now it, as well as the other two shows, just shine in their 5.1 mixes. This not just the usual "band in the front crowd in the back mix". The guitars and keys are mixed in both the front and rear with what seems like the guitar toward the back a little more. The sound is really big!! Geddy's vocals are in the fron L/R but isolated in the center as well. The only sound from the center is vocals with some bleed from the stage. I think overall the mixes here sound really excellent!!! Also, you get PCM stereo, DD5.1 and DTS 5.1
Also as expected, the video looks much much better than the VHS versions though and they are still 4:3.
If you are even a casual Rush fan I recommend this box set highly. If you are a big Rush fan then this is a no brainer!!!
