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.

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 :)

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.
