And presumably miked into the PA?
Thats news to me. Why would they even do that, the fake amps I mean? For ambience's sake? Seems very stupid, a lot of work for zero benefit.

Would anybody be nice enough to post the Rare Reels and/or the Japan show from the special edition. I only ordered the 2 CD version. Thanks

Talking only about the CDs:
It´s an upgrade to the boots, so I´m thankful.
But it´s the same if you compare Street fighting man from stripped deluxe to Street fighting man from Stripped: Why did they do a so much better job in the 90s - mixing-wise?
The band is not upfront, all that reverb, crowd-noise too loud...
In the 90s they did it clear upfront, maybe a bit to clean but miles better.

Hi Folks,
I know next-to-nowt about this stuff, but I do remember reading that Geddy Lee dispensed with onstage speakers and amps by 1992, save for some sub-woofers or similar to give a physical vibration/rumble:
"Geddy dispensed with traditional bass amplifiers in favor of the already mentioned DI units and in ear monitors. Faced with the dilemma of what to do with the empty space left behind by amplifier cabinets, Geddy chose to decorate his side of the stage with unusual items.
Starting off with a fridge
A workable vending machine
Maytag spin dryers – which would rotate during the show.The band would empty the dryers and throw t-shirts into the crowd.
Then Henhouse brand Chicken Rotisseries which was miked up for comic effect.
Lastly the Time machine tour in 2010 saw the introduction of the the “Geddison”. A steampunk-inspired Time Machine and Sausage Maker combo A second iteration of the Geddison returned in 2012 on the Clockwork Angels tour and this time made popcorn on stage."
Gotta love that, hah-hah! I read that Metallica's amps onstage are all dummies too (do your own gags here...). I am sure they are far from the only bands that have gone down this route. Anyway, sorry for the digression!
Cheers,
Simon.
Its easier to have a good sound on stage that way.Also theres a risk that the singer cant hear its singing with the super loud guitar amps ect. Also a risk of not hearing the drummer if the guitars are too loud.Quote

How is the sound quality on CD 3? I would like to know so I can decide whether to purchase the deluxe edition. 2 conflicting posts so far.

Just got my superdeluxe.
I must admit that Rare Reels were mastered by big fun of Bill Wyman. I would say - a bit too much bass.

I wonder why they would censor their own release of someone pulling their top up it’s not like it’s being shown on TV.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I know I'm not losing it. Mine was so awful and distorted all to hell I sent it back to Amazon and got a replacement, I figured must be a defective cd, same freakin thing!!! I should've just settled for the not so super-dee-duper just-gotta-have-it edition. Do the people who do the mastering even sit down and listen to these brickwalled cd's on a decent sound system before hitting the send button to the manufacturing department to go ahead a make the final pressings for eternity???...WHOEVER MASTERED RARE REELS OUGHT TO BE TAKEN OUT BEHIND THE GYM...COME ON MAN!!!

Its ok, quite boomy/reverb heavy, but nothing shocking.
Id say quality is like a typical soundboard bootleg.
