Rush: 1994-03-08 New York, NY (AUD Shot_4 Audio Streams_2 DVD)

This is an excellent Rush show (and capture of it) from 20 years ago tonight at New York's famous Madison Square Garden.  A lot of work has been put into this 2 DVD project by both the videographer and Digital Reproductions to make this 2 DVD set.  There are four audio tracks (streams) on both DVD's to choose from.  They are (1) Dolby Digital original video soundtrack, (2) Dolby Digital alternate audio soundtrack, (3) Dolby Digital matrix soundtrack, and (4) a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround soundtrack.  So with the use of your remote control's "audio", "sound", or whatever they titled the button for your brand of DVD player and it's remote control; you can switch between these four choices and determine which sound you prefer.  This is what I call "going the extra mile" in DVD production!

I'm not adding anything (no text file, my own checksum, etc) to this upload because it doesn't need anything added.  The text file describes the contents very well.  Not having to fool with organizing the file set contents since they were done right sure is nice.

This show was on Rush's Counterparts tour.  Here is a review from the Digital Rush Experience website by "The Digital Dan", a respected source for Rush reviews, of this 2 DVD set:

The Digital Dan
(Audio - 8.5, Video - 8.5)

This is a great CP tour video taken from a Digital8 clone of the Hi8 master. The picture quality is very nice and much clearer than the unknown gen VHS sources floating around. The first half of the show has some points where the audience gets in the way of the camera, and those sections are filled in with a still shot montage. The second half of the show is obstruction free, but a big section of the drum solo is missing. That soundtrack to the original video is as good as the DAT audience recordings from this show, if not even better. This production includes 4 soundtracks; the original video soundtrack, the DAT audio soundtrack from "The Big Apple Box", a Matrix audio soundtrack, and a 5.1 surround soundtrack. The discs include full motion and interactive menus as well as the artworks. The video was encoded at constant bit rate of 7500kbps and all audio was encoded as Dolby Digital at 448kbps, the maximum rate allowed. This is a show any Rush fan would be delighted to watch, it gets a heavy rotation from me. Special thanks to the NYBG for loaning out his wonderful source. As with all Digital Reproductions releases, this is a free trade or blank trade only production. Please do not buy, sell or distribute for profit. Let's keep the spirit of trading alive and well.
