Audience 7.7 - While the ratings may show this to be an average sounding tape, let me reveal my own bias for a moment. This is Rush’s best tour. You may argue with that, I mean, the previous two tours were pretty amazing too. I find the set list and performances of the Permanent Waves tour to be exceptional, and this show, while maybe not the best of the lot, does reveal yet more of the Rush mystique. A recording that requires 10 minutes to adjust to but eventually begins to sound pretty decent apart from a guitar that sits behind the action a little (except during solos). A little boomy but not a deal breaker. A good, not great, tape.

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.

Soundboard 8.6 - A good tape if a touch flat at times.

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.
