REVIEWS & RATINGS

Ron's Rush RoIO Review:

This bootleg is like "Live from Electric Ladyland Studios '74" in that it was recorded at the same place and contains many of the same songs. The similarities end right there. This bootleg sounds much better that "LFELS74" because it is from a different source and has just been recently digitally remastered. When you hear this bootleg it will blow your mind that this is from 1974! Everything has been cleaned up and Geddy's bass is not too up-front and distorted like other. The first nine tracks are from New York.

ToBeOrWhat:

This is a recording in front of about ten people. Remember then that Geddy is also only talking to that many people, so between blistering renditions of tunes he speaks very casual. It gives it a totally bizarre feel, after Rush belts out tunes you except to hear thousands cheer as Geddy (usually hyper as hell) says ?Thank You!!!? instead he makes a VERY quiet, almost shy, ?hi? and they receive a golf clap. I actually like it; it gives it a sort of comforting feel. There is a very interesting pre-release version of ?Fly By Night? with the bridge and guitar solo mixed up. There are many other subtle changes; most notably this version focused more on an upfront guitar. There is a minor ?pop? at the end of the indescribably wonderful ?Here Again?. I think this is a really top quality bootleg. With this boot though, in and of itself, there is nothing to complain about, highly recommended. My favorite things are my favorite version of ?Here Again?, and the awesome jam at the end of ?Working Man?, they jam into parts of the yet-to-be-released ?By-Tor and the Snow Dog?, its really, really good. This bootleg is really great!
