RUSH – New Orleans 1981 (2CD)

Audience 8.3 – Always nice to find another decent sounding 1981 show as there’s not an abundance of them compared to other years. The recording is a little bit cluttered in the very middle of the sound spectrum but thankfully does not suffer from the aud killers such as muddiness or distortion. All the instruments fight for the center but are clearly heard notwithstanding.  Occasionally you may notice a bit of phasing which helps the recording to my ears because it’s almost like a cool effect that they meant to do!  A good one to add to the collection.
