April 2nd, 1994 - Nuts and Bolts (Madison)
The famous Nuts and Bolts show, sometimes brought up as the best Rush bootleg out there, and I know why it has that title. Counterparts is up there in my top tours, so hearing it in such amazing quality is awesome. This show was also the first bootleg I ever heard, so it set the bar pretty high. The sound is just great, better than a live show in some aspects. Everything is well balanced. The bass sounds nice and punchy, the snare is as crisp as ever. The guitar also finds a really balance between present and over powered. The only "negative" is that there is little to no crowd noise for most of the show, but that's not something that takes away from the show completely. This is a great boot for those that just want the best, good sounding shows. It's an amazing soundboard that is widely considered one of the best, but I do miss crowd noise, makes me feel as if it's a studio recording with a live feel to the instruments. 9.9/10
