By-Tor 74 - Rush - December 5th, 1974

This show really confuses me. I got my version off a website that included the By-Tor 74 artwork, but also included a bunch of other art works similar to the one black/yellow/red one I put in with the other picture that are officially included with the "By-Tor 74" show (A quick note, I don't have those picture because my computer's hard drive died and that was my latest show and I hadn't backed it up yet, but it was on my iPod, so using a program called "SharePod" And I was only able to get the artwork that was used as album artwork on the iPod) . Quit a few of them said "Element of Crime" on them, or (like the one seen below) "Electric Lady Land Studios 1974"  And on top of all of that, it didn't  include the bonus tracks listed on the Digital Rush Experience. So I'm calling it "By-Tor 74" without the bonus tracks, but don't download this taking my word as law, I don't know exactly what show this is, and I also can't find the web site I got this from. In terms of quality, if it is "By-Tor 74" then it's an audience recording, and a really good one at that. I would recommend a show like "The Fifth Order Of Angels" or "Finding Prime" over this one, but it's still a good show. 8/10, good quality, all instruments sound good and clear, and it's an all around great show to add to your collection.

The Fifth Order Of Angels - Rush - August 26th, 1974

This show is a "Pre-FM Broadcast Soundboard ". This show was recorded off the same broadcast that "ABC 1974" was, and to me, sounds better than ABC 1974. It's got a 12 song set list (13 if you include the intro (I did not)). This was my first ever bootleg that I got in a sort of strange way (not listed in my 1st post). I got this off of YouTube using a website called YouTube-mp3.org. The drum solo starts about a second off from where "Working Man" ends, but I don't think it's that big of an issue. This show also includes the unreleased songs "Garden Road", "Fancy Dancer" and "Bad Boy (Cover of the song by Larry Williams)". The mix is great. Good highs and lows, all instruments are even and sound great. Overall I give this boot a 9/10, it has amazing sound quality for such an early show, has 3 unreleased songs and like "First Time" has great Rush "Historical" value.

First Time - Rush - 8/14/74 - NON *RTA* VERSION

This is the first ever recorded show August 14th 1974, the non *RTA* version, I put that artwork up because it's a lot nicer than the first and third art works, but back to the point. This show is pretty awful quality. The guitar is the loudest, followed by vocals, then drums, and I can't make out any bass in the mix, but of course, the sound quality isn't reason enough not to get this show. The first ever show preformed with Neil at the drums is reason enough to get this show, if all that matters is sound quality, then don't get this show. Another funny note, in songs like Finding My Way, there are people in the audience mocking Geddy's voice, kinda' funny to hear. Over all, I give it a 3.5/10 in terms of sound quality, but I think it's definitely worth it terms of how historically important it is. (P.S. I didn't split Working Man and The Drum Solo on this show because I wanted it to be as close to the original copy as possible, you know, for "historical" reasons)

How I get my bootlegs.

 I use many different methods to obtain my bootlegs. The one I use most 

often, is getting them off of different YouTube videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/mrjonesy2112)   I use a program called "Total Recorder" to record the bootlegs off of YouTube. I have it set to record with these settings for high quality.

Format: PCM

Attributes: 44 100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo 

After doing that, I take the show and break it up into songs using "Goldwave". Normally sticking as closely to the original timings as possible, but I will somethings separate things that were not originally separate, such as medleys and when a song and a solo are combined (Ex: Instead of Working Man Medley, I make it into Working Man, then Finding My Way, then Anthem) (Ex #2: Instead of YYZ/Drum Solo I make it into YYZ, The Rhythm Method) <-- That's another point, I normally change things like "Drum Solo" into "The Rhythm Method" and "Intro" into "The Three Stooges Intro". After breaking it into separate songs, I use a program called "Free WAV MP3 Converter"  After all of that is done, I will have a great sounding .mp3 song labeled something along the lines of "01 The Three Stooges Intro" So I put it all in a folder and smack it into iTunes. I then label the songs with song and album numbers, remove the "01 " from the name, add album artwork etc, to make it the most professional looking as I can. (See image) I have also gotten some from misc downloads, a few passed down from my dad and some from torrent files. If you want to know more, or have questions, email me Music746605@gmail.com (P.S. If you want to share a show with me that you don't see on here, go ahead and message me) (P.P.S I'll be putting the download links in the comments of each post)
