| Note | This is arguably the best double-CD bootleg out there. Taken from a soundboard recording of an early Roll the Bones concert, it sounds almost like an official live Rush album. It merely lacks the final mix of elements to make a true live album (sometimes the crowd is too loud, sometimes very faint). The original recording of this show is somewhat in question. Story has it that Les Claypool (bassist for the group Primus, an opening act on the RTB tour) wanted to hear a recording of one of the shows. A DAT copy of the soundboard was sent to him, but intercepted along the way and made into this double CD. Whether or not the story is true, the sound quality on this is almost a guarantee that this is from a (or copy of a) soundboard recording. This is a no-nonsense, no-frills, must-have CD. In this little gem you're paying for sound quality, not pretty pictures. If you can only get one RTB show, this is the one to get. - (Rush CD Bootleg Listing) Set List: Force Ten, Limelight, Freewill, Distant Early Warning, Time Stand Still, Dreamline, Bravado, Roll The Bones, Show Don?t Tell, The Big Money, Ghost Of A Chance, Subdivisions, The Pass, Where?s My Thing, The Rhythm Method, Closer To The Heart, Xanadu, Superconductor, Tom Sawyer, The Spirit Of Radio, Overture, Finding My Way, La Villa Strangiato, Anthem, Red Barchetta, The Spirit Of Radio |

| Comment | Taken from Ron's Rush ROIO Review: This is widely regarded as the definitive Rush show -- the legendary Oakland performance. In my opinion, this was the last great tour, featuring a remarkably well-balanced set list. All the RTB songs come alive with extended solos, and long intros or outros. "Bravado" is most notable, with Alex delivering a truly inspired end solo. You can?t listen to the studio album quite the same way after this. This tour also has Neil?s best drum solo to date and the best closing medley, IMHO. A truly excellent soundboard recording. The balance and mix are almost perfect, and you could really believe that this is an official release. The flaws in Rush-n-Roulette ?92 are corrected here -- there are NO dropouts at all. The sound is also better mixed. The bass on this one will shake your house at high volumes. This CD was obviously a labor of love by a true fan. The booklet has many pictures, and lists every date on the RTB tour. The inside of the CD case lists the dates of all previous tours. If you can find "Mirrors," get it. It is definitely better quality than RNR ?92. |
