Rush Didact Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Woah. I was NOT expecting that. A CoS tour bootleg that sounds incredibly good? Man... miracles are possible, I suppose! I need to hear the rest of the show! Edited November 14, 2022 by Rush Didact Not a CoS tour bootleg 2
Chicken hawk Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Wow, thats really good. Thank you for sharing BetterCallSaul. 2
HemiBeers Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 A couple of problems I have with the song itself...one is the obvious cheesy title, second is that the main riff is a ripoff of In The Mood. That said, Alex is shredding balls on this recording and the recording is really clean for a bootleg. 2
ytserush Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Mind blown. Uncharted era.(NOT a Caress of Steel Tour show.) A few weeks before 2112 comes out. Opening night of the tour. Evidence of the claim made in Wandering The Face Of The Earth that it was played. (Just guessing here but a Kansas fan might have recorded it.) Have to figure that this is a tease for the entire show which was what....about 45 minutes? Nice surprise! 3
Fridge Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Brilliant...back when Rush were proper METAL! 5

Fridge Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Was reading the comments and apparently the guy who posted this recorded the whole show...fingers (everything) crossed he puts up more..... 5
Nova Carmina Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 So conflicted -- excited for the new show, not excited for "I Think I'm Going Bald"! Okay, excitement wins. 1
Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Man that ripped!!! Alex was on fire there!!! How is stuff like this one coming out now?? 5

Rush Didact Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 I think the last time a Rush artefact like this was discovered was probably the Passaic '76 video, 15 years ago. This is really damn cool. 2

TheGhostRider Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) This is a pretty amazing find. A rumored recording that was originally though to be lost forever suddenly appears out of nowhere, almost like its been resurrected. It's a great time to be a Rush fan right now more than ever.

thizzellewashington Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 The entry for this show in Wandering the Face of the Earth says: "Longtime fan Jim Bossier reports that 'I Think I'm Going Bald' was performed and that a bootleg recording existed at one point but has since been lost." Guess not!! According to the book, this is the setlist for the show: Bastille Day Anthem Lakeside Park Fly by Night I Think I'm Going Bald By-Tor and the Snow Dog Working Man (with drum solo) Finding My Way It's a shame this wasn't actually a Caress of Steel show so maybe we could get a recording of "The Necromancer" in this quality. But this is pretty cool. "I Think I'm Going Bald" isn't my favorite Rush song by any means but it's always cool when 40+ years later we finally get definitive proof that a song was performed live. 3

Man... miracles are possible, I suppose! I need to hear the rest of the show! Not CoS tour. Early 2112 tour. Which actually makes the appearance of this song in the setlist more interesting. 1

zepphead Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Great quality for that era. As per the other comments above, here's hoping for some more from the same source. 2
