What a superbly produced album. It says something when a live recording is virtually indistinguishable from a studio production but this record is testament to the fact that it is achievable. Featuring mostly tracks from Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire this plays like a Rush's Greatest Hits 1984-87 with a few extras thrown in for good measure. My only complaint would be that Alex's guitar is occasionally a little low in the mix but apart from that, this is a great pressing highlighting a period where they transformed from a three instrument prog/hard-rock set up to throwing in synths to expand their sound to become worldwide arena-filling rock deities.
