Thanks for the show MiloCampo!
Sound wise, this is a very good audience recording. It would be really great except that somewhere along the line the show was recorded or rerecorded at too high a level, resulting in a fair amount of clipping (which sounds like static whenever things get loud). It isn't very noticeable through speakers, but through headphones you will definitely hear it. Aside from that defect, all of the instruments and vocals are well balanced and clearly defined (except Limelight, which is a bit muddy). The audience is present but for the most part unobtrusive. The first two songs (2112 Overture/Temples and Freewill) are not included, and Working Man / Hemispheres: Armageddon are cut out of the medley. There is also a very small and hardly noticeable cut in Natural Science.
All that aside, the performance itself is great. All three are in great form, and Alex especially has a good night. Geddy has some fun with some of the lyrics in Vital Signs ('warm buffalo chip') and a couple other songs. Neil uses some really cool effects on his toms at some points. There's also an interesting little subplot involving some people setting off fireworks throughout the show. Right after Red Barchetta ends Geddy finally yells at people who are throwing them to knock it off and stop being stupid.
