Comments: Oh my god, almost soundboard! I swear, honest to god it is that good, the sound is near soundboard! The sound is crisp, phenominal, and extremely clear. The bass is so tight, and the guitar is just about right in the overall mix. Geddy's vocals are pretty good, and can be well distinguished. The drums are near perfection as well, in fact, the whole recording is pretty much near perfection. The performance here is pretty good. Nothing too special seems to be going on with the performance, but definatly nothing that is extremely bad. The version of Tom Sawyer is pretty good, just of note. A must have recording in your collection.

Comments: This is the only Vapor Trails bootleg that I have (not anymore, check my other reviews). Its pretty good, Geddy comes in very well, the guitar is a little short, but nothing extremly serious. The bass is loud, same with the drums. So, overall, its a great show. The performance itself is great, which is probably why there were so many bootlegs from the Atlanta show, about everyone in the crowd had a taper, or anything that could record, and this came out fine from the huge Atlanta bootleg mix, I guess. One more note on this definatly excellent show, Geddy coughs on Limelight into the microphone, pretty funny. This is probably the best source of the show as well. I highly recommend it.
