Rush concert material may not be 96k, but at least it's 24-bit from what I've seen of the bitrates on my PS3 (not a big consolation, but at least they're not down-converting to 16-bit). Some of the problems stem from Alex -- he's in charge of that end of the band, as he tends to not give a "fan" perspective of the music. He also tends to mix hot (Vital Signs is a prime example of mixing/mastering gone awry -- plenty of clipping and clamping). I believe that recordings should always have input from the musicians. After all, it's their music. However, the actual setup and capture should be handed off to a professional recording engineer who really knows what he is doing and cares about achieving the best sound quality. Besides, musicians tend not to have the best hearing due to the loud music they're exposed to. Is that really who you want taking care of business before it goes to disc? Not!

As for the poor QC on the disc contents, I think that really sucks. Not just for Canada, but for everyone. How hard is it to get the correct info on the back? Seriously, steps have to be taken to do a better job with what could be the easiest step in the production of a disc release.

R30 on Blu-ray arrived from Amazon a few days ago. I can't watch it because it's part of a 3-disc birthday present from my wife (along with Blu-rays of Cliffhanger and Last Action Hero). Unfortunately, my birthday isn't for a few weeks. :-(
