Rush/PA, USA 1975

The best soundboard recording of early RUSH has been decided to be released as a shocking new excavation. What is recorded in the shocking work is “March 10, 1975 Northampton Performance”. This is a live album containing a scene from “FLY BY NIGHT TOUR 1975”. Anyway, this work is shocking. Speaking of the recording of “FLY BY NIGHT TOUR”, only two performances (Cleveland performance and Toronto performance) are known so far, and it would be a big deal if it appeared in the audience recording. That’s a sound board, and what’s more, it’s of the highest quality… Before we get into the details, let’s start with the show’s position. Let’s take a look at the tour schedule that the three young geniuses ran through. [“FLY BY NIGHT” released on February 15th] ・February 14th-18th: Canada #1 (5 performances) ・February 20th-March 11th: USA #1 (10 performances) ←★Here★・March 19th – June 7th: USA #2 (42 performances) ・June 13th – 29th: Canada #2 (13 performances) [Production of “CARESS OF STEEL” begins in July] In total, 70 performances . It may be difficult to summarize, but there were 70 performances in about 4 months (136 days), and they were held at a high pace, performing at least once every two days while traveling. What’s more, they were on tour for their debut work until a week ago, and they toured in parallel after the production of “CARESS OF STEEL” began. Even though they were on average 21 years old at the time, when did they sleep? It’s a date that shows the tremendous momentum. Under such circumstances, the Northampton performance of this work is the 9th concert of “USA #1”. It was the only show that took place just before a week’s holiday (Currently, there is a rumor among enthusiasts that it might be March 11th, but in this work, based on the official website, it was held on March 11th). 10 days). This work that jumped out of such a show is a truly shocking soundboard. This is a radio sound source from Pennsylvania radio station WSAN that was discovered late last year, and is an amazing recording that was unknown until now despite being broadcast. Moreover, the quality is also excellent. Until now, the FM sound board of the 1975 Cleveland performance has become a staple, but this work is superior in length and sound. Although it is a broadcast, it feels more like a direct connection to a desk than an official one, and although it is not stereo, the glaring edges are sharp and the master freshness is excellent. The wild trio’s performance is at zero distance… no, it’s hitting my brain with shoes on. The youthful RUSH and myself are completely in sync. And the show drawn with that sound is overwhelming. The set is of course “RUSH” and “FLY BY NIGHT”, but the Beatles cover “Bad Boy”, which is unique to the early days, is interwoven with it. “Bad Boy” and the debut work “Need Some Love” are valuable repertoires up to “FLY BY NIGHT TOUR”, and you can experience them on the finest soundboard. Even more pleasing is the big song “By-Tor And The Snow Dog.” Of course, it is a representative song that will be played until later, but it could not be heard on the aforementioned Cleveland broadcast. You can enjoy it with the excitement of an average 21.3 year old. Anyway, this work is overwhelmingly harsh, but it’s a little interesting…or should I say, it’s surprising before “Bad Boy”. When Geddy Lee MCs, “The next song is from “BEATLES VI.” Does anyone have the LP?”, you can hear the small voices of the audience. When Geddy saw this, he responded, “One?” as if in disbelief. At a loss for words, Geddy simply says, “This song is called Bad Boy,” and begins to play. It seems that there were about 300 people at the “Roxy Theater” where the event took place, but I couldn’t believe that only one person had a copy of “BEATLES VI”… The performance that follows is also intense, and the sharp contrast is strangely realistic. I’m sorry to repeat this so many times, but it’s shocking. If the discovery itself is surprising, the sound quality and live performance are also extremely intense. RUSH ended with Neil Peart’s retirement, but its legacy has not died out. The ultimate soundboard album released in early 2019. Live at Roxy Theater, Northampton, PA, USA 10th March 1975.
