This Is RUSH The greatest rock band that ever was or ever will be.

Old Head, that "book" is the official Tour book, which I have a copy because I went to see them (twice) back in the day! That's one of the things I loved about each tour was getting my tour book along with a tee shirt (if I could afford it) from each show! I've still got all of them, since I saw a show (at least one) on every tour. I only lost my Grace Under Pressure tour book, somehow, and I still miss it! Those were great fun days! I was 13 when I discovered Rush, back in 1976 - 1977, and 14 when I first saw them (Dec 1977).

Thanks for taking the time to show us this. What a great set, glad you opened it and are going to enjoy. Best damn band in the land

March 24 concert was my first. I was 17. They played all or parts of everything up to that point. Even Hemispheres, which makes any guitar, bas or drummer trying to play it weep. Unbelievable I can get the live from the floor version of the best concert I ever attended!

Pretty damn sweet. R.I.P Professor (Rest In Percussion) Long life to Geddy and Alex

Very Cool Unboxing Video dude! An outstanding record from an outstanding band. I was at the Maple Leaf Garden show on the 25th of March 1981. It was the very first concert I ever attended, I was 13 and on March break during Grade 8. It was spectacular. Looking forward to getting my box set soon. Enjoy!!

"Sorry guys, I'm geeking out here" You've done nothing wrong 🤣 I liked the format of this a lot

The VERY best album from Rush is the incredible visionary ambient sounding POWER WINDOWS!!

Ordered this too. This is getting ridiculously expensive. - Rush 40th Boxset - $96.43 - 2112 40th Boxset - $143.91 - A Farwell To KIngs 40th Boxset - $168.67 - Hemispheres 40th Boxset - $$130.00 - Permanent Waves 40th Boxset - $203.88 - Moving Pictures 40th Boxset - $324-06 I understand no one held a gun to my head to purchase this, but there seems to be a pattern with the prices. This will probably the last Rush Boxset purchased (besides I only listen to Terry Brown produced Rush). Regards

The box makes a fart sound when you open it...You gotta love that Canadian sense of humor!

I'm listening to my 3-CD copy right now...OMG. Ok, the album, Moving Pictures, sounds beautiful (although it's close to midnight here at my apartment and I'm only semi-cranking it), which is what you would expect. I love this album, so that's great. BUT...that Live in YYZ 1981 set...WOW!! What an effing concert!! They were shit-hot back then and that 3rd night in Toronto was a blister-fest! They were so on their game and the recording is superb! Neil's drum solo is MONSTER and Alex's playing on La Villa is insane! Only a couple hiccups -- Neil dropped a stick during The Trees and Alex played a couple wrong notes at the beginning of Grande Finale (both oops were quickly rectified, natch) -- but the rest of the set was freaking flawless! I've spent so much time with their newer live CDs and DVDs that I haven't listened to Exit, Stage Left in such a long time. Well, I'm kind of glad I didn't because it made listening to Live in YYZ 1981 so much more impactful. I"m just blown away, all over again! It was fun listening to it while reading the great testimonials from the different musician friends of the band, in the booklet. I'm psyched!

Great box set and great unboxing. Love your humor. Well done Sir!!

It's called a tour program. The book you were showing with the "jigsaw" puzzle, lol.

In Canada , the box set ships with back bacon and a Molson Canadian beer! 🇨🇦🎸

Wow - the super deluxe box set looks very cool. I think I will go with the smaller deluxe set which has all the vinyl but excludes many of the extras (and it’s significantly cheaper 😀). Have a good weekend.

The live in YYZ 1981 is far better than Exit Stage...Left ! Worth the price just for that ! Imagine having Moving Pictures with that ! lol

As a neat curio, during the performance of The Trees and Xanadu, they left Neil's countdown in the mix and put it up front. So, during The Trees, Neil shouts "...4, 5, 6!" and before the big finish in Xanadu, Neil shouts "YEAH!" Nice. Another neat thing about Xanadu, the Oberheim synth washes are very pronounced and add a beautiful soundscape to the performance. Geddy's bass thunders like a herd of buffalo. Alex's guitar is raw and a sonic freak out. Don't get me going on Neil's drum solo during YYZ -- it's fast, powerful, and tasty.

No lyric sheet for yyz??

That book at @8:30 is a replica of the OG tour book. That's pretty cool. I sold mine years ago. What a nice set.

Extraordinary! Simply! Rush over all

I might have to pick this up. I attended the show on the 25th(the one they give you the ticket), still have the original ticket stub somewhere...I should find it. Nice unboxing!

Man, I want this box set so bad. Top of my Christmas list for sure.

RUSH is in my top 5 of all time. I can listen to RUSH any day, anytime. I think the first RUSH song I heard was either Red Bachetta or the live version of A Passage to Bangkok. I was immediately taken. Then came Tom Sawyer and Subdivisions… good memories.

Everybody gotta elevate from the norm.....

I need this. Great unboxing, and yes, we need to open these things up and enjoy them.

Rush.................................... Rules

I was debating whether or not to get this box set. However, after watching this video I decided to pull the trigger and purchase it. My Ex also gave some good advice, "you have to get it because you know...it's RUSH!!"

Outstanding video for an outstanding iconic Canadian Band! Just subscribed!! Keep up the great content!!

My first Rush show was Moving Pictures Tour, Feb 21, 1981, in Dubuque, Iowa.

That IS Neil's actual writing/printing!

Moving Picture was my first Rush tour I saw! Capital Center, DC…

Just imagine if all record boxes were this good.....sounds great till you realize there is no room to store them all!!!

Oh yes. It wouldn't be a box set without all the toys and trinkets. You can thank Pink Floyd for that. That sticky paper thing is called a hype sheet. Also, you should film the inside of the book from the front. Lay it flat on the table and open it. Turn each page so we can see.

Those are copies of Neil’s original lyrics and sketches. They were in some of the books I have read about Rush.

Ordered mine late in the 17th...sold out by the next day. Super stoked.

My parents say its “too expensive”. If they knew what rush meant to me…..

What size are those lyric sheets? Looks like some frames may be in order for those...

Wow! A red Barchetta model even!

Thanks for the video. I am pretty sure when Peart wrote his lyrics, that is exactly how it looked when he presented to Geddy and Alex, that’s how he did it,

They did it right. That is how Neil wrote the lyrics. Those are his doodles.

I wouldn't be surprised if those were copies of the actual lyric sheets that Neil submitted. I recall Matt Scannell describing lyrics Neil submitted to him that had a little story board and some calligraphy. Plus, you can find the Fly By Night lyrics online that look similar.

Thanks for this. My box set was supposed to be here today and now I wait…

I lucked out and found both those live LP's at my record store for 20 bucks each in perfect condition.

Bro, that's Huge! (that's what she said) 😃Thanks for your video!

Those lyric sheets are reprints of Neil’s original lyric sheets. He would do all that art work to go along with the lyrics. Having those is alone makes the box set worth that price. Amazing.

rush backstage deluxe version... and yes "Neil wrote the lyrics and drew a picture" with location written down - where on tour it was written... look in the corner of paper for each location..!!!

Fucking Awesome!!!! I just ordered the 3 CD set. It's going to be here tomorrow.

I saw them on this tour so I had to get this box

Oh man mine..didn't have those lyrics sheets. I wonder if this was something to do with pre-order only versions? I just got mine at a store. I'm sort of bummed because that was one aspect that was really really looking forward to however at least my red barchetta stayed intact

I hope they do this with signals, Power Windows, geace and hold you fire.

cool unboxing, mines in the mail

Love this set, worth the wait

Great unboxing and humorous as well.

They actually missed out on including a reproduction of the Tom Sawyer/Witch Hunt single, for those who missed it the first time or couldn’t find it at all.

NOTHING BEATS RUSH SWAG!! 🤘🤘

Best rock album I ever heard. Best ever

Cool 😎 video. Since you're a big RUSH FAN, You should get there new Pinball Machine. What do you think?

Great video! Thank you!

How is the Atmos mix on the Blu-ray?

Killer set man!!!🤘🏻🍻

Rush is family yea...nice video Frame that shit dog Rock On Freaks, H.L. 🎶

New sub! Really enjoyed this look and your vibes.

I know this just came out, so not many folks have had much of a chance to really digest this material completely. But I just read a review that the live recordings do not sound good.(I personally wasn't thrilled with the Permanent Waves live recordings myself). Any thoughts on these new live recordings would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ps. Also, remixed Moving Pictures vs original?

The lyrics sheets are like the artwork on Fly By Night album.

good

Have you played the records, Old Head? Did you also receive warped records in your boxset?

Animals, hopefully will be as big (or bigger) as this when (or if Waters and Gilmour (or his wife, as she wears the trousers apparently!), pack in the sniping and get it signed off! Latest news is it’s supposedly June this year, but don’t bank on it!

No alcancé la versión super deluxe y no quiero comprar la version deluxe jaja. Tampoco alcancé el vynil blanco de moving pictures y eso que es de mis favoritos.

Geddy never used a pick .

wow, they truely spoil their fans LOL

lucky boy

How much is this thing? I want it but I'm not rich

Thanks where can I order this? Great vid dude.

so is that 2 complete shows spread over 4 lps, or the one show over 4 lps?

Took you 15 minutes to open it! 😅

Do you have a pinball machine

STOP dont do that!!!! Even the first plastic most be preserved. It protects the package!!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. Its not good quality but real excellent 👌 quality dude!!!!!!

Mine didn’t come with those “hand written” lyrics sheets.. wth?
