Update

Hello, its Vaughn speaking. I'm saying I cannot currently burn DVD's because I am having troubles burning the DVD's, simple as that. I am not going out of trading, I just cannot trade DVDs as of this moment, I can trade anything else. Another thing, I changed e-mails. Here is my new e-mail: vaughnrush@hotmail.com so don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Thank you Digital Rush Experience!

This is definatly the best Rush bootleg information source, and I would love to thank them at the source for everything. The reason why I thank the people there is because I get all of my information about tours, setlist, dates, and everything else from them, they are one of the greatest sites around. I would like everyone who reads this to thank them too, because without them, I would have no prior information about a bootleg, and without the reviews, I would probably, most likely, have a bad bootleg. And, also, thank you reviewers of Digital Rush Experience, for letting me know what bootleg is good, and what bootlegs are really bad. So, I just want everyone to thank them for the information!

Here is the link to their site: www.digitalrushexperience.com/

I hope you guys love it as much as I do, for bootleg information, can you please click on this link, and it will show you each tour and each bootleg information sub-link.

Happy Trading!

Comments: Though not as good as the Mountain Views show in terms of both video and sound, this is an excellent and very rare source. There are some claims the the audio is better than the video, I completely disagree. First off, the sound is wraped in tape hiss and compression, and the drums are nearly nonexistant at times. The guitars, vocals, and bass really standout though, which redeems the listening factor. The video, despite being very high generation, is very enjoyable, and in my opinion, a low excellent. It dosen't have as much clarity as the Mountain Views show as that show is much lower generation, this show gives a completely badass Geddy for us to watch! Its a great DVD, with a great performance. If your a Presto fiend as I am, you will really like this show.

Comments: Here is probably the best proshot that I own. Its probably not my absolut favorite, as that might go to Detroit 90 and Passaic 76 as my favorites, but this might slip right under those. The sound is much improved over the Critical Mass bootleg that I own, as this is much more clear sounding, and much less flat sounding as well. The bass tonight sounds great, as its the best instrument that is being played that night. The video is, well, outstanding. Its amazing for a proshot, the colors are so vivid and amazing. The band looks amazing, and its really cool to watch Alex play keyboards in time for Time Stand Still, he does that on the Presto tour, but its cooler here. The performance is excellent, with the best version of The Analog Kid around, you can't find any other one thats like that one. This is a must have.

Comments: Here is an excellent Test for Echo show, while not as good as the Albany DVD a few weeks prior, this one is definatly great. The sound is definatly much better than the Albany show, as it has much more depth and much less rough spots in the recording, and there isn't so much taper talk on this one. The mids and highs are just about right as the lows seem to come in perfectly with the show. The video is outstanding too. One of the cameras had better optics than the other, as it didn't move so frequently, but they both offer different and interesting visuals of the band. There are 4 cameras! There is one on Alex side, near the stage, the rest are in the back, on in center, and 2 on left and right hand side. Everyone can be seen and heard fine on this recording. The audience is up for the night, and so is the band. They give in a pretty damn good performance for the Philly crowd, as they surge into a very good Red Sector A, which is when the video mixer screen actually pops up! Its actually funnier than anything, as it shows excatly what kind it is. A must have DVD that you can definatly enjoy for a long time with great sound and great video.

Comments: What a great show we get here, with some awesome video and some awesome sound to match! I do think that the audio is from the scanner source from Digital Reproductions release Stolen Signals, but I can't be for sure as I don't have that source. That source that is listed is from the same exact date as this show. I definatly think that the bass sounds really nice here, with some good mids and the overall sound is awesome. The mix is near perfect, with no distortion or anything that would make this a bad sounding show. Now the video is the best part of the show. Not only is it the best single cam from the tour, its one of the better from every tour. The only detractor is that Neil isn't seen as Geddy's keyboards get in the way most of the time, but you can see Neil on the video projector screen above, so we can still see shots of Neil, which is very good. The video is so clear and great, it amazes me. There are only a few security ducks, but none that would detract from this overall awesome show. The performance is one of the best from the tour, with one of the better versions of 2112 and Force Ten caught here. A must have recording, you will enjoy it alot if you really love the Test for Echo tour, and if you love Geddy and Alex.

Comments: The third and fourth discs of this awesome release. This show is great, I think that the performance here is a tad higher than the nights previous, though this version of 2112 might not be as strong. The sound and video are a tad lacking, but not too much. The video is pretty good, you get a full shot of the band and the close-ups are decent, but the overall picture quality isn't as excellent as the few nights prior. The sound, although not in pristine condition, is very good and you can hear everything very well. A must have for the more serious collector.

Comments: Right off the bat, I think that this was recorded from the camera because when the camera moves to Geddy, the drums sound a bit more compressed, and when the camera is on Neil and Alex it has a more drum sounding mix to it. But this show is amazing. The performance is great here, Geddy has a sleeveless on, and his hair is really cool looking on this video boot. The sound here is excellent, definatly. There are parts were the mix seems to be a little compressed, but there is an amazing amount of sound flucuation. There seems to be a bit of crispy-sounding qualities to the recording, but its an amazing sounding video boot. The video is the star though. There are amazing close ups here, as this was recorded on Alex's side of the stage, and there weren't too many heads or security ducks, which is very good here. Its clear, ands a personal favorite from any tour. With good sound and video, this is a must have video bootleg, definatly one of the best audience shots I have ever seen.

Comments: This is my favorite Snakes and Arrows video boot, and I may stress the word video in the sentence. The sound is very far from perfect. There isn't too much distortion or anything, but its so very distant sounding and the mix ins't well captured. But I don't think its terrible, as you can hear the instruments seperately, and the drums sound good here. The video is the obvious standout here. Its a 3 camera mix, and all of the cameras are pretty much near the tripod level for anything. There is one in the middle right in front of the stage (probably the one that was taken for the audio, as that is the most distant one, and the audio itself is very distant and has very poor resolution) and 2 other cameras on each corner. I think the guy on the right corner liked Geddy's crotch as he positioned is camera right there in Entre Nous and Digital man, but they camera men are amazing here. There is an extremely rough part in the audio in Limelight, were the taper may have been breathing too heavily, as there was some distortion and some wind noises going on. That only lasts for a minute or so. You can hear coughing in Digital man, but it dosen't detract from this outstanding video. A must have, if you can get past the minor audio problems, this is amazing.

Comments: This is excellent! The sound, the video, the everything is so good here! The audio is excellent, with the exception of Dreamline sounding a little bit more distant and a little more distorted than the rest of the show, as the rest is distortion and distance free. The video is the standout here. There is so much clarity here, and every band member gets their moment on the camera, which makes for a great bootleg. There are a few heads in the beginning of the show, but other than that the camera man does a very good job on focusing in on the action and does a really good job of keeping the lense on the band and into the crowd. The performance is pretty good, with a great version of Force Ten and the Analog Kid come to mind when it comes to performance on this show. The sound and amazing clarity in the video are enough reasons to get this great DVD we have here.

Comments: If I had the 3 camera edition that I hear is floating around somewhere, I would like that, but this isn't bad by any means. The sound here is a bit better than the video. There is a good amount of bass and drums, the vocals and keys come through fine and the guitar seems to jump right at you. So by me, this is a perfect mix. I think that the sound might not be as good as the first night they were here at the Radio City Music Hall, but this offers a little more clarity, but lacks in overall punch as the first night. The video here is excellent, but somewhat suffers from one camera, but overall the taper seems to keep a good eye on the band. There are little obstructions in the video, which is great. The performance is amazing here, they give a good shot for the New Yorkers here, and the band is up for the night, as they were the first night, but both nights produced good performances. A must have.

Comments: An excellent show, one of my favorites. The sound here is excellent. There is a great amount of clariy in the instruments, and the depth is fantastic. I wish the highs were a tad brighter, but they are fine as they are. If it were a bit brighter, you would get more clarity, but I think that it sounds excellent as it is. The video quality here is definatly beautiful. There are a few moments when he has to hide the camera from the security, but that is very rare. Most of the security hiding happens on disc 1, luckily. It was synced with the best audio, and it really is a great production. The performance here is a very good one. They seem to be doing well after their few month break, and they are now on their Snakes and Arrows Live tour, if any distinction from the Snakes and Arrows regular tour and the Snakes and Arrows Live tour can be made, except for a little bit of a change in the setlist. A great DVD set, a must have for the new fans who want to see them now, in the present.

Comments: Here is an excellent 3 cam mix from the R30 European part of the tour. The sound here is excellent, great depth with the audio and it gives it some soundboard qualities because it seems to be very close to the stage at most times, there is little distance with anything. The sound is not flat, and I think it is in stero, if not, its the best mono recording that I have ever heard in my whole life. The bass sounds great tonight, and there is not distance. The first camera is probably the best looking one, but that, unfortunatly, is the one that only works for the first few songs, and then goes. The remaining cameras a pretty good, but we do get to see alot of heads at times, but when they zoom, it looks great. Disc 1 is the worst, which respectivly gets about a B+ for the video, but Disc 2 and Disc 3 are amazing, so I bumped up the grade to an A/A- more or less. A great DVD that you can enjoy for many years to come.

Comments: How fucking lucky are we to get this super rare Signals DVD? This is great, but it isn't perfect. There are 2 cuts, none too bad, luckily. The sound here isn't great until "Digital Man" then it gets a B/B+ rating really. Its very distant sound because it was filmed in the back of the Forum, but I think that it still sounds pretty good for the most part. The video is the real star on this night, though. We get clear shots of everyone, and its very interesting to see them on the Signals tour. Geddy looks bad ass with those leather pants on. Oh yeah, something that is really cool here, Geddy uses the Steinberger on "Digital Man" and it sounds really good. The sound has exceptional bass response, as that is the clearest instrument there. The performance here is very good, Geddy and Alex are really happy to be there. Alex is moving all across the stage, and its really cool. A great DVD that no Rush fan can live without.

Comments: Here is good proshot in-house feed, meaning it has all of the little videos that they had playing over the band while they were performing. The video and the audio have major problems, but they both look and sound pretty good for the most part. The performance here isn't that great, very average to say the least. They seemed a little tired tonight, but I think that the Snakes and Arrows tour has much better performances than all of the the Presto shows combined, but this is a definatly average night for the boys. They seem to have a few problems, like when Geddy makes an ugly note in "Marathon," but nothing else is overly bad about this show, but it is a little average tonight. The sound here has alot of treble. In fact, I have never heard so much treble in a soundboard/proshot recording. The overall sound isn't terrible, but it lacks life. It dosen't have so much fun to listen to, very flat and very boring to listen to, but I think that everything is very clear. One main problem for me with the audio is that it is in mono, so you don't get a very full sound like when you are listening to a normal stero soundboard or audience recording of that nature. The video has some problems, but probably not as bad as the sound problems with this show. There is pixelation, due to the fact that this show is only on one disc, but I think that it should stay that way because you don't have to change discs every hour, but it means less quality with your recordings, and that can be bad. The cameras have nice angels, a good amount of clarity, and it has great shots of Niel in this show, which really amazes me. There are moments when the video and audio freak out, just look at Distant Early Waring, but that only happens 2 times, so it is a very rare occurance. Also, when the camera is further from the stage, there is much less clarity with the video, but this only happens a few times, so it does not interfere with the rest of the show, just a few sections. This is a great Presto show that any fan with love, mainly because it is a Proshot recording.

Comments: Another excellent video bootleg that I have found. This is a 2 camera mixdown, with is great, because it has very good angles and such. The band seems really good for their first night on their tour, they give a really good performance. Geddy introduces "Driven" with "There not mess-ups, just new parts" and its pretty funny. The video quality is great, clear and steady. The audio is fine, but there is alot of audience noise, but the band comes in very clearly, making this fine bootleg. Highly recommended.

Comments: This is the second show from the Caught in the Act DVD, which includes the Caress of Steel video as well, which is another this you don't want to pass up. The intro is just Neil telling how bad the tour for Caress of Steel really was. There is alot of rare footage, which is really great. But that bad thing is the audio. It was taken from the only Caress of Steel source. The Stainless Steel isn't that bad, it was a little hard to watch with the audio, though, but definatly not a bad boot. You get alot of good shots of the band, Geddy, Alex, and Neil in their indiviual shots, and what not. This is a great DVD, and you really don't want to miss this rare DVD.

The sound is really only one of the best parts of the performance. Geddy sound incredible on that night. The sound is actually much better than the audio bootleg of this. The performance was overall outstanding, you can see that Alex has many problems with the tuning, though. Neil's drums came in really great. The video is clear, but in black and white, which isn't really all that bad. You can see almost everything. A boot you don't want to miss.

Comments: With the possible exception of the Tampa show, this is the best Snakes and Arrows show out there, performance and sound are amazing. The performance here is very spirited, Geddy is in a very good mood tonight, and Geddy even jokes with the crowd as you can hear some laughing in the backround after Digital Man, as Geddy forgets how to say music it seems, and its hilarious! The sound is something too get crazy about. The mix is just about perfect, nothing wrong with it at all. There is an amazing amount of bass, and drums. The guitar and highs are well captured too, the keyboards and pedals sound amazing and extremely full here too. The only complaint is that it is barely incomplete. Its missing Limelight and some of Digital Man, but I can live as this is just about soundboard as there is absolutly no taper talk, no distance, and this show is about as close as pure heaven as you can actually get on earth. A must have show, its amazing in every single way.

Comments: If this show was complete, it would get an A, because what is here sound very good, but maybe not best of tour. The performance is excellent, as I was there, far from the stage, with my step-father unfortunatly. Alex almost fell a few times, but the performance was very good despite almost falling. Geddy was in a very good mood, and it was very loud tonight as it scared me when Alex started to play Limelight. The sound here isn't excellent, but its more or so a low excellent. There is some distance with the recording, but it actually adds more than detracts as it gives you more of a feeling of your there. The mix here is exceptional. A very good recording, but I definatly wish that this show was complete, as what is here sounds pretty damn good.

Comments: Well, this isn't very good, but it isn't bad. Medicore, I should say. There is a great amount of people around the taper, and I can't really hear the band at all that night, so it was a bring down, for me. But, it has its highs were you can hear them pretty well, most prominatly in "Far Cry" and "Natural Science". The band seems to put on a good show that night, to. The performance, mainly , is the only reason to get this, and because it might be a more or so rarer than normal source, that that is okay. So, I can really only recommend this to collectors.

Comments: This is probably the best from the tour, from what I have. The sound is almost perfect, I swear, when I'm listening to it, it sounds like a great soundboard show. The only real problem is that there are a few annoying people, and the crowd gets in the way at first, but settles down after "Limelight". Geddy was singing all of the high notes, and overall, a really, really great perfromance by the boys. The boys seem to really be enjoying themselves tonight, and I'm very glade that the performance is so good with such amazing sound on this one, so you know you really can't go wrong here. You have to get it if you love the Snakes & Arrows days of the band.
