J-Card Comment From Al Wright: 2112, Natural Science, Xanadu and La Villa Strangiato on one CD? This is a must-have for collectors, not only in terms of song selection but in terms of quality. It was originally a radio broadcast, pressed into a bootleg double-LP entitled Xanadu, and finally arrived in the CD format. Packed with over 74 minutes of music, this CD is well worth the money. There has been much confusion over the date of the original concert. This CD lists it as March 29th, while the LP listed it as March 16th. Neither of these dates is correct (as Rush was playing the East Coast at the time), and are more likely the date(s) of the radio broadcast itself. The most accepted date is February 14th -- this has been confirmed as the date Rush did play in St. Louis, although they may have played there more than once. Although the sound quality is excellent, there are two flaws. First, this CD was recorded from the LP bootleg itself, and occasionally pops can be heard in the songs (most notably La Villa). The second is that the show may sound TOO good to some -- it sounds more like a studio album, with the crowd faded in and out at the appropriate moments, than a true live album. That, however, is a matter of personal choice.... (from the Digital Rush Experience)
