This album really bothers me.

On the one hand, Rush was truly motivated by playing live in front of their largest audience ever, supposedly around 60,000, and they delivered nothing less than a spectacular performance. On the other hand, the three CD set is mixed with the crowd noises interfering with the music. And this crowd was roaring along with the music from the start of the concert to the finish. Did these people really think that everyone there paid good money to hear their countrymen drown out the band? And did Alex Lifeson, who co-mixed the album, want to leave the mix this way?

Oh well, at least it was relatively inexpensive for the set.

Minus the crowd, this would have rated 4.5 stars.
