Exit...Stage Left [Bonus Track] [Remaster] by Rush

Pros: Album-perfect versions of Rush classics
Cons: Very little is different from the studio versions of these tracks

Now, don't get me wrong. I enjoy this disc quite a bit, but it lacks a lot in energy and excitement. The only problem with the disc -- and it's pretty noticeable -- is that the songs rarely differ from the studio versions. Sure, the obligatory drum solo...
