PURE SIGNALS HEAVEN!!!! Amazing sounding show!! I'll keep my review as simple as that.    (2001-12-14)

The Digital Dan
   (Audio - 9)

Until there is a Signals soundboard, this date will remain the best sounding date of the tour. And the source for this production, a 1st Gen tape archived to DAT, is incredible to say the least. To describe the sound of this show would require using words that would sound more like a description of heaven than that of a live recording. But this is heaven to Rush fanatics. The balance is almost perfect between the instruments. There is just the right mix of authoritative low end and ethereal high end. One listen to Neil's drum solo and one would almost swear it is a soundboard. Also, the show is complete and intact. The only cut is the last 10 seconds of the YYZ / Drum Solo. I could go on and on about how good this show sounds and how much fun it is to listen to. But rather than do that, just go out and get a copy to listen to and enjoy for yourself. Special thanks to Rubicon for helping us to acquire the source used for this production. As with all Digital Reproductions releases, this is available for free trade or blank media trade only! No exceptions. Visit the trading links and newsgroup to find any one of many individuals that will trade it to you for free. Please keep the spirit of trading alive and not rip off the band by trying to make a quick buck!    (2001-12-14)

A pretty good audience recording from the Signals tour. The crowd is a little loud in the mix and the band can be hard to hear at times, but I guess that just adds to the energy of the recording...kind of like Rush in Rio. Plus this boot has the Camera Eye.   (2004-10-10)
