Notes

Taken from Ron's Rush ROIO Review:
Capturing Rush in a Midwest performance, this ROIO offers a very tight HYF show. This is a great show, but is typical of HYF performances. The one point of note is that the band was having some feedback problems during this show, especially during Prime Mover. Although the song doesn’t stop, it sounds as if Geddy actually stops playing for a few seconds while the sound crew struggles to fix the problem. An excellent audience recording. The sound is a bit compressed, and there’s a small amount of high-end distortion, but overall, this show sounds great. Not the best from the HYF tour (I think the 5/5/88 show is better), but a good addition to any collection.

The Digital Dan:
This was the first recording produced by Digital Reproductions back in the summer for '96. And to this day, it is still the best show I have found from this tour. But the original production was from and unknown source, had a speed problem, and wasn't quite as complete. So for personal and nostalgic reasons, I wanted to redo this particular release. The new source is a 1st gen analog and it was used to update the original production. This show is very clean of audience noise with a very clear reception. It doesn't have a very wide stereo separation, but everyone comes through very clearly. As far as the title, I get asked that a lot. If you've ever driven through cattle country during the summer, it stinks really bad especially if your car doesn't have a recycle setting on the air conditioner. I was generally happiest when I was "Leaving Omaha"! No noise reduction or hiss reduction was used on this production. As with all Digital Reproductions recordings, it's only available via free trade and never for sale. Just visit the trading links section to find people that will gladly trade this recording for free.

LeeGeddy:
A great addition to anyone's HYF list and a welcome update to "Leaving Omaha". Here's the source info that was provided: Master Cassette (taper JF) > 1st Gen > DAT > CDR. Many thanks to Rubicon (once again) for obtaining this fine source for this "Platinum Edition" release. THIS IS AVAILABLE FREE VIA TRADING. AVAILABLE IN SHN AND AUDIO FORMATS. (FEB '02)
