Enjoy, and keep it lossless !

Really amazing, i was looking for this. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Bob

Nice.
Thanks.

Thanks! Love the soundchecks! :D

Nice one. Was the gig shared?

A soundcheck with Brian is like watching a game replay to see maybe your losing favorite team will win this time.
Usually you will notice if someone is saving the voice for the gig, but now it's hard to tell. Probably because there is nothing to save.

There is a remarkable Rush soundcheck in sbd quality, in fact a full show rehearsal before staring the tour. They are at their best when are not struggling to prove something in front of an audience, and finally overdoing it. As Brian does. Just saw the Milton Keynes interviews and i'm amazed (once again) of how a man of such artistic and human quality could appear so frustrated an boring.

Thank you very much!

Ha ! I like something unexpected now and then. Thanks for the share :)

^ this stuff? Or is there more?

Besides the full rehearsal from 1996, I mean. It has great moments, but you can so clearly hear how they don't want to play Closer To The Heart.

Turns out I got two things wrong.

1) it has been shared before:

and 2) it's actually from the Newcastle Australia show in November, not the UK in October.

Some great stuff in that thread.

Yes...so now..we need the complete Show! 26.11.1998 Newcastle - Australia, it exists.
