Notes
***************

This one came out of the blue for me. I'd never even heard rumours
that a recording existed of this rehearsal, let alone in crystal
clear soundboard quality. This is a totally unique Rush item, being that
I'm not aware of tapes for any other full reheasals. I'd consider this a
must have for any Rush collector.

This release also flies in the face of a recent trend. For the past couple
of years, all of the new superior sources were being released by the Fan for
Fan labels, and then the bootleg companies were obtaining copies and
releasing exact copies on Silver disc. In the case of this source, I hadn't
seen this in the trading community at all until it was released by Watchtower.
Thanks to one kind individual who bought the Silver and traded it freely,
the Bootleg has now been liberated into the trading wild.

Artwork has been modified to reflect our philosophy that these should
be freely traded and not sold.

Please don't not convert to MP3 unless strictly for your own use. It
dilutes the trading pool.

This has to be one of THE greatest find for us RUSH fans.
WHERE IN THE WORLD DID THIS SOURCE COME FROM?? WOW!!! The
sound is crystal clear with nice stereo separation and a
wonderful mix. Personally, only a wee bit more low end
could help this great sounding source. According to the
packaging, this source is taken from the rehearsal performance
one night before the T4E tour opening night (19 October) at
the Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, NY. There is no crowd noise,
because there was none. RUSH is going through the entire setlist
(probably) in front of the crew and perhaps few lucky individuals
who had the privilege to be there. Sometimes Geddy throws in odd
lyrics here and there; and during some of the older songs, Geddy
doesn't sing the lyrics at all and just lets the music come through.
Listen to TSoR for some of Geddy's humor!! What a great addition
to anyone's list.
