AnEggplant Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It's a pretty good live album. I don't really care for Alex's tone on it, but they played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamrahai Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My local radio station just mentioned this but then proceeded to play Ghost of a Chance which is not even on it I do give them props though for playing probably a dozen Rush songs a day :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I was at one of the shows records for this album (Brendan Byrne Arena)...seems like yesterday. Great live document of the 80s Rush era. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Played it to death when it first came out.Got the vhs soon after and wore that out(it was my first Rush video).Only one hiccup,Mystic Rythmns,not a patch on the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I was at one of the shows records for this album (Brendan Byrne Arena)...seems like yesterday.

Blue J Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I remember buying it when it was new. :) Honestly, I like it better now than I did at the time. Great live document, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I was at one of the shows records for this album (Brendan Byrne Arena)...seems like yesterday. Great live document of the 80s Rush era. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODA5WDE2MDA=/z/63cAAOSwYHxWN-8M/$_1.JPG $12.50, holy wow... I have a ticket from about eight months earlier, Moving Pictures tour, that was only $8.00. I wonder if the popularity of that album was what caused the jump in price (more 50% higher in the same year)...9or if maybe it had to do with the location/market, too (Jackson, Mississippi vs. Brendan Byrne).

YYZumbi Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I am listening to this album right now on vinyl, and it sounds great! And then Im not talking about the 2015 release, I got a original one in mint condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirteen Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Still have the VHS version.For a long time ASOH on VHS was the only Rush I had.Finding anything Rush was very hard in Australia years ago. The band is on fire on ASOH. Absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Looking back, it's a *bit* over-produced, but still one of my favorite live albums in the collection. In some ways, that album is the soundtrack of some of my favorite years. I have very fond memories of listening to it on many a college roadie.

Crimsonmistymemory Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I remember one of my favorite things to do was sync up the VCR and the LP on Force 10 so I could simulate the concert sound in "HiFidelity Stereo" !!! I had it down to a science and impressed many who had never experienced the live Rush experience with sight and sound. Today I just use my 5.1surround sound but for some reason the effect seems not as fun ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I remember playing this on a little kids record player at my neighbors house since they didn't have a stereo. Still sounded good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas7 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm on the video, you just catch a glimpse of me as the camera pans across the audience before CTTH. Live version of songs from Power Windows and Hold Your Fire miles better than the studio versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It's aged well. It's really one of the few good live documents from that period. It's very intricate and I'm still amazed they were able to pull off the Power Windows and Hold Your Fire songs that well live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
