Rush: 1994-01-18 Pensacola, FL (FLAC_SB Rehearsals Master_2 CD)

This si a superb+ recording shared on Dime back in 2005 and then re-seeded again today.  This is the band's almost complete show/setlist rehearsals four days before their Pensacola, Florida concerts began.  The recording sounds like a studio recording because (a) it is a soundboard and (b) there is no crowd noise.  This is something you'll definitely want if you're a Rush fan and you do not have it yet!

Rush is a very talented band!  They're true musicians in all aspects of music.  And this rehearsal soundboard is a great sample into how talented the band is.  And this is just their informal rehearsal four days before the concerts began too.

Most bands do a few tracks from all over the sprectrum as they do their sound check.  They'll play a song, stop mid stream, move on to another song, and a lot of times they play songs not even in their setlist or songs they ever made (other artists music).  But here, Rush sticks to their setlist (with a few additional changes, errors, and other goodies).  There is total silence between songs other than an occasional comment heard between some songs as well as during some songs too.  This is what is called an informal recording.  There is no pressure to please an audience or anyone other than themselves and the guy running the soundboard so they can get everything set up right for the live show.

Rush is a group with a sense of humor I've noticed in my years of listening to them.  Both onstage and off stage, the guys have a great sense of humor that is easily spotted at shows and in interviews.  They seem to be just three laid back musicians that are not uptight or egotistical at all.  And with the exceptional talent they have musically as well as some of the best shows of any artists from the past and present days; their laid back and humorous attitude is just like the icing on the cake.  And I respect them for that.

Thanks to "jtm9734" for re-seeding this show earlier today because I'd never heard it nor had it.  I'm burning it to disc as soon as I finish this upload.  And I've been listening to it as I prepare this posting and get everything ready for the upload.  It's a superb+ recording as I started off saying in the first paragraph and I'm sure you'll agree.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this rehearsal show from days before before their first Pensacola show in 1994 on their Counterparts album tour...
