Soundboard 8.7 - An oldie but goodie – tape does show some age but it is a classic nonetheless. Bonus here is a rip from the first single released, quite rare actually. -
Soundboard 9.4 - Powerful, living room clarity in your face and just as good a mix as you can do. -
Audience 9.1 - Incomplete show but man, get this one now! Superb capture with a good tight bass, some airiness in the drums but maintaining lovely timbre both high and low, guitar good but maybe just behind bass and drums…overall yeah this smokes! -
Audience 7.5 - What saves this is a rich bottom end that is surprisingly warm without overt boominess. Guitar is present but sometimes hides behind the noise. Sound tends to come in and go slightly out in a wave like fashion but it’s subtle. Sometimes this gets clear and decent and then sometimes it seems to be brittle and cluttered in the lower end of the midrange. The rating is pretty accurate. It’s not atrocious – it’s for collectors though. -
Audience 7.3 - Noisy, but a pretty huge bass crunch which will appeal to the those who like it heavier sounding. The size of the hall does confuse the frequencies and so you get too much mess in the middle and what not but you can hear this and get used to it and it will pull you in. A good performance! -
Audience 7.9 - Low levels but pretty clear when you turn it up. Some lack of distinction, but a straightforward audience recording with nothing to offend but not going to blow anyone away. -
Audience 7.5 - Some depth for a one dimensional middle of the stadium recording. Bass is in a good place, relatively clear but somewhat distant. -
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 8.7 - A little lack of definition in the bottom, but at least it has bottom end. There is also some atmosphere, so you feel the arena somewhat. A strong recording! -
Audience 8.8 - Everything is where it should be in this sound mix except I find Geddy’s vocals just a hair behind but it does not bother me at all. In fact this mix allows me to appreciate more of the bass and guitar playing. Really good stuff here! -
Audience 8.8 - Warm sound, leveled off somewhere in the upper mid and stays there…with quality. -
Soundboard 9.3 - Very nice mix right in the sweet spot. -
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! -
Soundboard 8.7 - Some age in the tape present, but you’ll be able to live with it as this just smokes! -
Soundboard 9.4 - Killer! -
Audience 7.6 - What really saves this tape is the fact that it sounds like a master source – very clean virtually no noise, but you are sitting with the crowd and the band is…hmmm…not distant but not in your face, somewhere in between, and it sounds like a small venue. It’s fascinating to be honest, I really like it.
