Notes: Bootleg Title: "By-Tor's Battle V2.01" This is one of the best versions of this soundboard recording. All, but one, of the others sound way more muffled and/or are missing the improvisational jam. The only other version that it could be considered debatable with is "2112 Seattle Night". However I find "2112 Seattle Night" to have too many pops/clicks throughout, and the drop outs during the beginning of Bastille Day are way more present and noticeable. The thing "2112 Seattle Night" has going for it is it's a bit quieter overall and doesn't pack quite the punch this one does, but overall sounds just as good. That may not be a problem for many people, but I've heard some people complain about the harsher quality. Though that's mainly just how this soundboard was recorded regardless of source, it's a hard hitting recording. The band was also on fire, probably the most energy I've ever heard from a Rush recording. Geddy seems to be letting loose a lot of anger/stress in his vocal performance, and it makes for a great heavy show. The only other plus of "2112 Seattle Night" is that despite the annoying fade in between the guitar/drum jam and In The End, instead of flowing seamlessly from beginning to end, during the fade in you can hear like 2 seconds of Geddy introducing In The End. The introduction of In The End is cut off in all versions regardless, so the second or two that remains during the fade in isn't really loosing anything compared to the unnoticeable transition in this version.
