I just received an email this morning and the 3 Rush concerts are on their way for release in early 2002.
Here is part of the email:

Excellent news. I hope they keep a PCM track.
No longer here.

If I'm not mistaken, "A Show of Hands" is from the "Hold Your Fire" Tour, which was the first rock concert I attended. I don't listen to Rush much these days, but I'll probably pick it up for the nostalgia factor, if nothing else.
I saw that show at the now-mostly-vacant Capital Center in Maryland (fall of '87, I think). I remember the opening band came out -- I think it was the McCauley-Shenker (?) Group -- and the singer yelled, "Washington, D.C., are you ready to rock?" You could have heard a cricket chirp. It was a moment straight out of Spinal Tap. Two guys sitting a few rows in front of me stood up, gave this pathetic "woo hoo," then proceeded to bang their heads for the entire set. When MSG were finished, the two guys turned around and left. I'll never forget that.

Rob, what's a PCM track?
Anywaym, thanks for the heads up, guys. I most certainly shall acquire these products.
I'm in the vast minority of music / Rush fans, but I really like 80s Rush, so Show of Hands will be cool.

This was one the various MSG lineups. IMHO Michael Schenker is/was one of the most underrated guitar players to come from the metal/hard rock scenes. He joined his brother Rudolph's band "Scorpions" at age 16 and by age 18 was in the popular European band UFO. Around 1980 he embarked upon his solo career - MSG (Michael Schenker Group). Graham Bonnet (ex Rainbow, Alcatrazz, etc.) sang on "Assault Attack" and overall the band had several very good albums. McAuley is Robin McAuley who joined around 1987 and did 5 albums with MSG.

PCM stands for Pulse Coded Modulation. It's the same uncompressed audio format found on CDs and LaserDisc.
No longer here.

Sounds like good news (Tho there are so many rumors right now, I don't know what to beleve sometimes).
The latest rumors that I've heard.
First single in January from the new album.
Release date of album: March 12.
The January rumor seems to be coming from radio stations, so it might be credible...

I completely agree, John! His name belongs among (and often above) the many we consider rock gods. Meaning the likes of Van Halen, Rhoads, Lifeson, etc... |
