Audience 7.2–8.2 - What you get here is a very raucous sounding tape because when the band is at full volume the recorder can’t deal with it so there’s some clutter and slight high end break up, but when the band is more low key, such as a straight blues number, it’s wonderful. The music? Off the hook jamming! -

Audience 8.4 - Not too bad, but not the perfect live mix. Still, seems like a somewhat professional recording or attempt was made here, as if the tapers set up a reel to reel with decent mics and perhaps their placement just wasn’t the best. -
Audience 8.2 - Good clear sound if a little distant and thin. Small complaint though, because it is not bad at all. -
Audience 8.4 - Punchy in the middle, how I like it! -
Audience 7.7 -
Soundboard 8.6 - A good tape if a touch flat at times. -
Soundboard 9.0 - A little bit of hiss in the background but otherwise a solid, and enjoyable one! -
Audience 8.8 - Taper had good gear for this one, you can tell there is some sense of space, and the music has a chance to float above you. A rather sweet recording. -

Audience 8.8 - A little bit one dimensional but at least that dimension is very good! Vocals a bit behind here, but only a little. Drums, guitar – aw yeah! -
Audience 8.8 - Not all the 2015 shows were recorded by folks who understand where to sit and how to get levels, these guys did, thank goodness! -
Audience 8.8 - Pretty good sound especially if you want to focus on Geddy’s playing. -
Audience 8.4 - Captures the PA sound in reasonable quality, as if you are midway back on floor, so you do get the special aspect, you get some hall verb for sure but I have heard worse. -
Audience 7.3 - Raucous show, loud but does not distort. Not too bad. -
Audience 8.9 - A beautifully warm, tight sound. Great capture here! -
Audience 8.4 - There’s some tape noise on this that should have been removed but I find this thin but pleasant, it’s not an annoying thin it’s just a limitation of the gear. Can EQ to taste, it will respond well I think. -

Audience 8.7 - Respectable capture, not mindblowing but still very enjoyable. Does not hurt my ears! -
Audience 8.7 - At times the quality is better but even so, it’s not that bad with my only knock being the stage mix itself, where sometimes the guitars blend too much with everything so the separation of instruments is not the best it could be. I think the energy of the show is through the roof, with a good crowd and the band responding in kind. A fun listen. -
Audience 9.1 - Guitar sounds hot, overall excellent live mix -

Soundboard 9.1 - When I hear recordings like this, I am hesitant to consider it a pure soundboard because I am aware of the presence of “room” here, especially when it’s guitar and/or vocals by themselves and you really hear it. So, probably run through a board yes, but mic’d up for a recording rather than for PA if that makes any sense. -
Pro Radio Broadcast 8.8 - A fine recording that manages to allow some nice atmosphere into the mix. -
Audience 7.8 - Good live atmosphere, a touch trebly but not in an irritating way, just in the sound spectrum itself. Rory was riding pretty high during most of this tour having played a very historic run of shows in his native land (all released officially btw). -
Soundboard 9.1-9.4 - The mix gets tweaked a couple of times during the show but overall it’s a good one.
