Title: Long-time fan that is disappointed by the mix
Review: This is easily the worst-sounding live album from Rush ever; it's even worse than the antiquated All The World's A Stage. Rush definitely are still in fine form performance-wise, but the audio mix on this recording is horribly muddled and the crowd's screaming on top of it just makes it worse. This is truly a shame given the poor audio mix evident as well on their last studio album, Vapor Trails, an album which contains some of the best music Rush has produced in ten years or more. I get the feeling that the guys mixing the album (which I think included Alex Lifeson) did the best they could with what they had, but in the end it is very disappointing. I have no doubt that long-time fans like myself will buy this album and its associated DVD anyway, as they still provide at least one session's worth of enjoyment, and the DVD of course provides a rare look at Rush "behind-the-scenes," something which fans have never really gotten before.
