Notes: Rush Mid-American Dreams - Platinum Edition Mecca Arena, Milwaukee, WI March 24, 1986 Source: Audience (1st gen) These shn's were generously provided to me by Digital Reproductions See notes at bottom for further credits. *************** Notes *************** This show was is more well known to most seasoned Rush collectors by the Moose Records release called Better Beer. While a very good sounding release in it's right, this new DR release is taken from a lower gen source, and sounds excellent for an audience recording, and is a definate step up from the Better Beer release. See below for setlist and reviews. *************** Posting Info *************** This disc will be posted over a 4 day period. *************** Repost Info *************** >>>>NO FULL TRACK REPOSTS<<<< I will post segment fills as required. If a segment is missing on your server, please split the file and download and save the parts that are available so that they don't expire off the server before the missing segment is filled. Help me to help you. I've repeatedly asked for lurkers/leachers to help out with full track reposts. No one has helped. Therefore, if you won't help each other, I also will decline. Requests for full track reposts will not be replied to. Sorry. I hate coming off as the bad guy here, but as no one else is willing to share the load, I'm only willing to post the files once. I will make sure that the files are complete on Giganews. Beyond that, I have no control. Giganews offers a free 3 day trial, and has 10+ days retention. You can sign up for that trial, get the files you need, and it won't cost you a cent. Or ask for others in the group to repost the files for you in the repost group. For regular posters in this group, I am willing to make exceptions and make limited full track reposts if required. I normally hold the .shn files for 4 days on my hard drive, before I delete them. Please make your segment requests prior to that. On to happier things :) ************** Show info: Mid-American Dreams - Platinum Edition Media: 2 CDr Time: 59:33, 53:58 Catalog: Digital Reproductions DR 32486-9 Source: Audience (1st Gen) Quality: EX / EX+ (Rating on the DRE) Date: 03-24-86 Location: Mecca Arena, Milwaukee, WI --------------------------------------------- Track Listing Disc 1 3 Stooges Intro 0:56 The Spirit Of Radio 4:59 Limelight 4:55 The Big Money 5:53 New World Man 4:11 Subdivisions 5:47 Manhattan Project 5:32 Middletown Dreams 5:03 Witch Hunt 4:55 Red Sector A 5:08 Closer To The Heart 5:45 Marathon 6:22 Disc2 The Trees 4:47 Mystic Rhythms 5:28 Distant Early Warning 6:49 Territories 6:13 YYZ 3:17 Drum Solo 5:18 Red Lenses 2:15 Tom Sawyer 5:40 2112 6:18 Grand Designs 4:56 In The Mood 2:52 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments and Reviews: The Digital Dan: Taken from a digital clone of a 1st gen source. This is more or less a maintanence release of a previous DR production. Since the original production was done 4 years prior with a lower quality source, an upgrade seemed in order. Not only is the 1st gen an improvement sonically over the original, the processing software, hardware, and techniques have also improved in that time. This is by far the best audience source of the tour and rivals the known soundboard in clarity and impact. A worthy addition to any collection and a must have for even you "soundboard only" people. No noise or hiss reduction was used on this production. As with all Digital Reproductions releases, this is for free trade and blank media trade only. Please do not buy or sell, help keep the spirit of trading alive and well. Taken from Ron's Rush ROIO Review: It seems like Rush gives a little extra during Milwaukee performances, and this show is no exception. The performance is very seamless and tight, even though the setlist is the same as with almost every other show on this tour. What really makes this show special is the sound quality -- it almost sounds like it could have been an official release! The fidelity is great, and all the instruments can be very clearly heard. Every tom, cymbal crash, and bass riff is crisp and clean. This is so far the best full PoW show I?ve heard. Taken from the Great Rush Bootleg Series: The best sounding boot from the Power Windows tour. From an audience DAT. Excellent sound. The encore was played in medley format (no gaps between songs) but the songs were played in their entirety with nothing cut.
