Title: The Dream Ignites
Date: 4/02/88, Omaha, NE
Label:
Sirius Records
Source: Audience
Quality Rating: A+
Description: This has to be one of the best audience recordings around, especially for Rush. If you didn't listen closely enough you would swear this was a soundboard. The taper is so close to the speakers that there's hardly any audience noise...the sound spectrum is filled mostly by the band with full separation and astounding clarity. There are lots of highs here and the vocals more or less give away that it's an audience recording. However, if you're a fan of this era, don't delay in getting this one....it's a real find!

Description:
This is basically the "A Show Of Hands" laserdisc converted to CD. The advantages to this source over the VHS version is the addition of "Lock & Key", which has never been officially released live. I'm not sure if the version of "Subdivisions" here is the same as the ASOH album or not. They were both recorded at the same location, but not certain if they were both taken from the same performance (I suppose if I listen close enough I can tell!). I know that "The Big Money" and "Manhattan Project" here are different than the version that wound up on the live album, probably because they were taken from another night at this location. Anyway, this is a great show and a must for all Rush fans, even if you have the ASOH VHS or live album of the same name.
