re-reviewed. The previous review (tape version) is below, which may, and
probably will be changed in the future:
Comments/Highlights: Pretty nice show from the A Farewell to Kings tour!! Although this is not quite the complete show, missing the 2nd encore of Cinderella Man, and has a couple minor flaws, the sound is very good for a show of it's era :) It has a very good dynamic range for an older concert recording, and it also has very little crowd noise, just a little between songs. The guitar and bass stand out great, along with the vocals for the most part, but the drums get a bit lost in the mix of instruments sometimes. Other than missing the 2nd encore, the only other slight cuts are in the songs A Farewell to Kings and The Temples of Syrinx in 2112. The sound is very steady and up front, and there is only a few short right channel dropouts in Cygnus X-1, but they are corrected quickly. Highlight would just be the entire show!! All the old classics you want to hear :) The awesome By-Tor/Xanadu combo, along with the great A Farewell to Kings. Not to mention the incredible versions of 2112 and Cygnus X-1. Just listen to Geddy's bass during the intro part!! And let's not forget Neil's excellent drum solo during the medley encore :) Splendid show and is one of my favorites!!
