I ordered from Amazon so I won't have it till tomorrow, but I am excited. Still alittle unsure what Audio tracks are going to be on there because some listed a lossless track and others did not. But, either way I will be happy to have it and it was only $19.99. I have seen Rush in concert 6 X and they never disappoint, they are an amazing live band.

mr.hidef · 11-24-2008, 09:27 PM

+1..........This will be a definite buy!

JessR · 11-24-2008, 11:01 PM

ya same, I cant wait to get this baby.

Kaiju · 11-24-2008, 11:09 PM

dad has a copy coming in.

Freis968 · 11-25-2008, 01:14 AM

I got my copy today at BestBuy. I cannot really comment on the sound as apparently my subwoofer has either blown or is malfunctioning, so with that being said, imagine watching anything without a sub and you know the pain I am experiencing.

The video is fantatstic and the clarity of the music is superb, just no bottom end on my pathetic surround sound...

A definite MUST HAVE!

GORT · 11-25-2008, 01:23 AM

My #1 band my copy can't get here fast enough

dtrush · 11-25-2008, 01:26 AM

I'd like to get one tomorrow. Maybe I should call the Best Buy tonight to see if one is avaliable right NOW.

What are the available audio tracks?

dtrush · 11-25-2008, 03:35 AM

Just picked it up. So far so good. I like the quality and the price too. Was hard to find in the store because it's not in a regular plastic case. Cheap paper one. Plays in 1080i but looks great nevertheless

BIGLAD · 11-25-2008, 12:35 PM

Just watched half of the show and must say what I have seen is perfect.I would rate pq as 5 out of 5 and aq as 5 out of 5 also.

Aerodude73 · 11-25-2008, 12:53 PM

I know they filmed this with like 21 or so cameras

-- so, I am sure it'll look great. Caught this tour Last year and this summer also, BEST Sound I've heard from ANYONE in concert

(then again, not surprised by this, as it is only 3 musicians and mainly 1 vocal mic, and what, 137 mics for Neil's kit alone...?!

) -- serioulsy, can't wait for this to get here. The 2-cd set sounds amazing. Great Live band, and their recent years documented Tour DVD's have been 1st rate every time.

** Best Sound for LIVE Concert note: I've seen them pretty much every tour since the 82' Signals tour, and obv. with technology improvements, they've just been better & better in Concert **

What is the audio codec on this disc? Is it lossless?

Yes! I was very pleasantly surprised when I popped this in today and found that it had DTS-HD 5.1. It think the other option is PCM Stereo, which I can't comment on because I didn't try it. It is an amazing package. Long set list, great PQ and AQ, and an abundance of extras as well.

One thing that is different than advertised: It is only 1 Disc. But, this just shows the beauty of Blu-ray because it seems like the housed on 1 Blu-ray, 3 DVDs worth of stuff. And I certainly didn't notice any compression issues whatsoever.

ps3blurayuser · 11-25-2008, 10:33 PM

I just picked this up at best buy for like $21 something with tax. You cannot beat that. I have not seen it yet but cannot wait to watch tonight. I went to the tour in Dallas when they came in November last year and it was amazing!

geomtchr · 11-26-2008, 01:30 AM

Do not hesitate to pick this one up. Best Blu concert footage I have ever seen! The sound is flawless as well.

Ozz · 11-26-2008, 02:44 AM

I was actually a little disapointed with this one. Granted they are a great band.(my favorite). the footage,video and sound was good, but overall i thought there was sometjing missing. Their performances were flat compared to others and didn't seem to have the energy they usually bring.
The only thing this one had over Rush in Rio was DTS-HD MA and done in HD. I think Rush in Rio was a better concert video.

bluehand · 11-26-2008, 02:48 AM

yupp, this looks good

Cordre69 · 11-26-2008, 03:32 AM

The set is not their best but I'm still picking it up. $19.99 here at Best Buy so I can't pass it up!

BIGLAD · 11-26-2008, 09:43 AM

Hopefully R30 will be released as it was filmed in hidef.
