Thunder Bay Rush Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 For all of the "classic" or "early" Rush fans, this audio track of a Tucson show in '78, is in my opinion, THE recording to hear. Many of you are probably already aware of this one, but for those of you who are not... you must check this out. It's Rush live at their very best... (Again, in my opinion.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androoq Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Amazing Show from top to bottom... insane when Geddy has to tell the crowd to chill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78jazz Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 In terms of the boards from this tour, this may have the best performance. I would have to listen to all of them again to decide what I would pick to be the best performance available (Vancouver, Chicago, the first night in Toronto, and Richfield should also be considered for best of tour performance). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bay Rush Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Great show, no doubt. I love Neil`s solo, but the sound man nearly ruined it near the end with too many weird effects put to the acoustic drums. I saw this tour in April, `78 in Ottawa. WICKED! 8,000 people sold out at the Ottawa Civic Centre. NO ONE sat down during the whole show... wild crowd. Wilder band. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This is probably the best bootleg from that tour that I've ever heard. My first Rush concert was about 10 days after this. Amazing hearing it so clear. Sounds like an official release. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I haven't listened to bootlegs in forever because my phone capacity made me dump them. But isn't Black Forest from that tour a little better? My version of A Desert Passage cuts out a few times from a SB mix to what seems like a single mike in the back of the arena.

EagleMoon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have Black Forest and IMO this sounds better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordercollie Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I just happened to stumble upon a show from Boston on Youtube awhile back. It gives this one a good run for its money. Edited November 10, 2015 by bordercollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains Cygnus X-1 and Hemispheres back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't traded in years, but I know there are sites out there that with a little work, you can download them for free. I think one site was called dimeadozen.com, and I forgot what the other one was. I never used dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Canadianice, why don't you do a search in the bootleg section? I'm sure someone posted a link recently (the past year or less) for you to download it. Better yet, why don't you put your name on the hard drive vine list? http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/60890-ext-hd-vine-is-here-complete-rush-audio/page__st__1300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Another suggestion is to pm Zumbi. At one point he put a lot of bootlegs for download somewhere. Maybe he can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Definitely a great show. There's something about Lee's bass playing on one of those Hemispheres Germany boots, though - Universe Divided, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Why not just rip the remaster from YouTube? It sounds much better than the one on the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 To my ears, Cygnus Gold has a better sound than A Dessert Passage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 This show was kind of a holy grail in the early '90s when it became available. Until then, there were no decent soundboard Hemisphere Tour shows around. I played the crap out of this one for about 6 months after I got it in 1994 or so. Eventually four or five pretty amazing shows from 1978-79 finally made it out, but this will always have the distinction for me of being first.
