"Echoes On The Stages"


I'll let the original seeder cover the actuals on this one, but I can tell you it's very special. With it essentially being a soundcheck, the quality is striking, the performance is loose and playful, and the remastering makes the music jump right off the 1's and 0's.

(Some weird spikey 117hz still exists in it. I really tried very hard to control it, and it's better, but sometimes, somehow, that "boom" cuts through. Occasionally it's Geddy's rig, other times it's Neil's floor tom's. Dunno, it's weird, but I couldn't cut anymore without losing too many other things.)

LeeGeddy (EX+!):

This has to be one of THE greatest find for us RUSH fans. WHERE IN THE WORLD DID THIS SOURCE COME FROM?? WOW!!! The sound is crystal clear with nice stereo separation and a wonderful mix. Personally, only a wee bit more low end could help this great sounding source. According to the packaging, this source is taken from the rehearsal performance one night before the T4E tour opening night (19 October) at the Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, NY. There is no crowd noise, because there was none. RUSH is going through the entire setlist (probably) in front of the crew and perhaps few lucky individuals who had the privilege to be there. Sometimes Geddy throws in odd lyrics here and there; and during some of the older songs, Geddy doesn't sing the lyrics at all and just lets the music come through. Listen to TSoR for some of Geddy's humor!! What a great addition to anyone's list.
