===========

This is one of the best sounding Rush concerts, thanks to thir13en who did a great job improving the sonic signature on this.
I don't have the skills to do what he does, but the original files have phase inversion and out-of-phase venue reflections
which can be easily fixed and now IMHO it sounds even better. Check out the mp3 sample to see what you think.

thir13en original notes

I had to grab this when it was seeded her recently. I saw this tour at the Cap Centre, killer show. Seeing the wealth of comments
I just had to hear this show, this source...

...but I'm a bit confused by the "remaster" tag applied to it. I'm thinking it was more like a re-transfer. And though it was a
nice source, I had some issues with it:

-It does have a decent SBD mix that's clean and airy, but also sterile and bright.
-It has a slightly low imprint with significant bounce of low-to-high amplitudes.
-The drums are louder than everything else with some random spikes.
-The highs are quite sizzly and brittle.

I corrected all that was possible, with some compression to give it a smoother mix, much warmth of both the high and low end, and
digitally maximized. I really love it now.

Here's a clip of the "fight scene" from Bytor & the Snow Dog:
