Rush/IL, USA 1981

From the “Moving Pictures” tour, an audience recording of the last day of the Chicago performance on March 1, 1981, which is the beginning. Although it is the same source as the previously released item previously released as “Mystery Eyes” (GE) (there is a cut at The Trees 2:37, Working Man ~ 11:53), as the master directly said, it is definitely Gene’s The youth is obvious, and the ultra-clear and edgy sound is truly goosebump-inducing! ! The beginning ~ 2112 is recorded for about 10 seconds longer, which is an advantage. The “Moving Pictures” tour started on February 20, 1981 with a performance in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and toured North America until July, making it a fairly long tour (although it felt like it was a fairly normal scale for them at the time). However…). The Anaheim performance in June, which is the final stage of the tour, has been released as “Anaheim 1981 Master”, and this is also an item where you can enjoy the ultimate performance with incredible sound. It’s a “Moving Pictures” tour, but the set list includes the Overture and Grand Finale of “2112” before and after the main part, so in a sense it’s a charm that seems to sum up their footsteps so far. In fact, the next work is “Signals”, which has shifted to a contemporary style, so it can be said to be a very important tour that has a strong meaning of summarizing Rush’s 70s. It was also a time when their popularity in America was solidified with the huge hits of “Permanent Waves” and “Moving Pictures.” Anyway, the ultimate set list, which can be said to be the culmination of Rush, and the rich and fulfilling performance are the most shining in Rush’s history, and you can definitely say that everything is worth listening to! ! The definitive edition of the “Moving Pictures” tour has been decided to be released! !
