| Notes |
This is one of those shows that
makes you glad to be a Rush collector, and proves that even after nearly 30
years, there are still gems to be unearthed out there. This show came
to me in March of 2005. Of course, it’s one thing to discover a new AFTK
show, still another to find one from so early in the tour, and yet another
to find out that it has the best sound of any show from the tour.
To really cap things off, this show has a unique feel to it. The band seems
to be in a really upbeat mood tonight, which translates to a loose
performance with
a lot of joking around by Geddy. The sound is exceptionally clear for a 1977
audience recording. As a matter of fact, why even qualify that last
statement?
This recording easily holds it’s own with some of the better audience
recordings
of nearly ANY era.
This was reported to me as sourced from a 1st gen tape.
As with the other volumes of these releases, the goal is 100% preservation.
This means that I have done nothing to alter the sound of this recording,
and
I'm passing it on exactly as it came to me. With that in mind, I don’t care
where you torrent it or what you do with it. (Anyone who cares enough
whether
they have a lossless copy is going to be smart enough to be able to figure
out
whether they have a lossless copy).
Special thanks as always to Dan Eckert for the artwork. |
