NOTES:

Primus opened up for Rush on their Counterparts tour which was the last tour Rush had an opening act. I recorded both nights with my Radio Shack SCR-59 Analogue Recorder & decided to release these shows for the fans with Rapscallion's persuasion. This recording comes from my master analogue tapes which have been locked away for 10 years. The goal is preservation of the master analogue tapes so only minor EQ & Amplitude have been applied. There is a slight hiss considering the source analogue recorder but I didn't want to try & remove it in order to preserve the integrity of the original recordings.

PLEASE DO NOT REMASTER THIS RECORDING ! Remember, the goal is preservation.

Overall these recordings are very decent quality considering their age & equipment used at the time. There is a few spots where the recorder had to be moved to accomodate fans coming to their seats. Track 10 is a bit muffled because there was this woman making a fuss that somone was in her seat which was close to me & she got security to sort it out. Needless to say, I had to hide the recorder so I wouldn't get busted. With that being said, I'd have to rate this recording an VG + EX- or 7-5 but you be the judge. I'd rate it higher if not for the issue on track 10.

A very special thanks go out to "Rapscallion" for his awesome artwork & inspiration to release these recordings. Thanks Rappeh :D

Please do not convert to MP3 or other lossy formats and TRADE FREELY.
