I've listened to and watched everything. Although I have my problems with it, my reaction is a mostly positive 4/5.

The Good. -We have 3 new DVD's never before available on DVD, and a new CD. -Everything sounds great, and looks as good as a VHS sourced can be. And as a person who even with DVD's listens more than he watches, the old video really doesn't bother me. -They didn't try to rape us by releasing everything seperatly, and then in a box set. -25 bucks (at Best Buy the week of release) for 3DVD's, 1CD, and 3 tour book reprints, are you fooking kidding me? If Linkin Park had a deal like that I'd buy it. -Lots of new songs never before released live (except on the VHS's of course.) -Previously mentioned tour book re-prints. Now instead of having to hunt them down on Ebay we have books from the Exit... Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure, and Hold Your Fire tours, and all of them are very nice. -Is an excellent starting point for a newer Rush fan. Lots of footage for minimum money. -Rush

The Negative -VHS > DVD direct (with digital work and such). Much more could have been done from master tapes, mainly improving the shows to be full, or at least getting off the repeats in favor of less heard material. -4 bonus tracks are all shit we've heard a million times before. (TSoR, TS, CttH, and Limelight) -Packaging. Would have been much nice to have hard cases inside a box. As is now, not only is the packaging less sturdy than that would be, you have to move one disc on either side to get to the other. -Especially on ESL, there is not enough rare material. Jacob's Ladder,The Camera Eye, Natural Science, amongst others, were all played on tour, but are not on the DVD. Also, there are many songs on there repeated on GUP and ASoHs. As said before, a drawback to VHS > DVD.
