Chrome Edition Notes by Cynergestic (EX-):
Ok. I know. MP3 SOURCE! MP3 SOURCE! MP3 SOURCE! But what came out was a damn fine audience recording by almost EVERY standard. I got the MASTER mp3 files (the raw unaltered files that my Archos Jukebox MP3 recorder produced that night) to SimpleMan and MY GOD did he give 'em a working over. Gave me several versions to choose from. I ultimately settled on this mix of the show which is a bit livelier, the bass is a little more prevalent without becoming too boomy and probably as good as this recording will ever get.
Now a word on why this show should NEVER be shared as an mp3 (whaaaa???) I don't know if any of you have ever made an .mp3 from an .mp3, but the generational loss makes the tape generational loss look like nothing! I share this show in shn format to preserve the master recording as closely as possible. Yes it was an mp3 source but this really is going to be one of the better recordings available from this tour. Geddy's vocals & Keyboards are clear as Day. Alex's guitar is clear and up front you can hear every single cymbal Neil hits! Don't judge this one till you hear it.
Tapers Notes by Cynergestic:
Recorded from the 7th row on Alex's side using an Archos Jukebox MP3 Recorder set on the highest quality settings (which uses VBR averaging about 170kbps) as two large master file set (Set1 & Set2 which included the encore) using a Sony ECM-MS907 stereo electret condenser mic. The master files were then split into individual tracks using Sound Forge 5.0, and encoded to shn using the MKW tools. There is some minor glitches in the first few tracks due to a couple of security ducks and equipment checks, but for the most part a solid recording.
The fans that were close to the recorder were very well behaved. Some of the highlights to this evenings show are when Alex messes up the beginning of Freewill (I think he was expecting a different tune), but recovers quickly and then delivers an EXCELLENT version of one of his BEST solos (IMHO). During Driven, Geddy added a lil bit to the bass solo.. just a skosh. La Villa, of course, where Alex is being wacky on the guitar, joking about songs for a new album songs, and about how his doctor told him he had Alzheimer's which promptly gave him amnesia.
Ok, ok, I know, I know, it was recorded directly to mp3 but give this recording a chance as it sounds superb considering the source... you will not be disappointed I promise!
The bonus tracks were an afterthought actually. As I was creating the artwork I was thinking to myself that it would be nice to provide all the songs being played this tour (Between Sun & Moon, Vital Signs and Ceiling Unlimited being on the A-set-list and The Trees, Freewill and Ghost Rider being the differences in the B-set-list.)
I have always enjoyed it when a bootleg contained alternate tracks from another show presenting the whole live song selection for that particular tour, so I figured it would be even cooler to add them from the previous time Rush had visited Chicago using the excellent boot "A Huge Giant Marshmallow" as a source.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it and a special thanks to Daneck who helped me hammer out some of the details :) Remember, This recording is not for sale. For free trade only!!.
