Title: Disappointment
Review: I picked RiR up on the spur of the moment. I haven't been a major fan of Rush for a few years, but a live album is always entertaining. And, usually Rush live albums aren't too bad.Well, this one definitely is bad.This is easily the worst mix on a live CD I've heard in several years. Vocals virtually disappear; the drums frequently sound unbelievably thin. It sounds like a midrange quality audience bootleg.Which is a disappointment, because their live albums are usually pretty good best-ofs with some extra oomph and excitement. This album lacks any of the subtleties of previous live Rush recordings, and words can't express how bad the mix is.If you want a recent live disc, get Different Stages instead.(the CD-only tracks sound a bit better than the bulk of the CD but are pretty thin sounding.)
