EXIT... STAGE LEFT

As I have said before, all the live Rush albums are good, but this one is probably, overall, the weakest one. The recording is not so good as on the others, it is quieter and seems to lack something, especially at the beginning. Nevertheless, there is some good stuff here. Red Barchetta, Beneath, Between and Behind, Jacob's Ladder, Xanadu, Freewill, and, of course, La Villa Strangiato are all played superbly, with feeling, and technique of the highest calibre. Probably my fave of all would be La Villa. Alex shows off his prowess here in fine style. Recommended, but not their best.
