It's not an official release according to the rushisaband link.

I used to have this on cassette. I taped it off the radio when it was originally broadcast.

Also, this was the first tour that I saw them on.

I have every album from 74 (debut) to 82 (Signals) on vinyl. I have no Rush at all on CD. But I've also got 1 or 2 on cassette.

Thanks, we'll make a note of that.

Yea, I see you've contributed positively greatly to the thread. One post, just criticising, well done! You should be proud of yourself.

There must be some legality to it as its been available as a dowload on i-tunes for a while!

Always liked that often-bootlegged St. Louis show. I remember hearing it as it was being broadcasted.

Widely available boot, you probably DL from one of the torrent sites like dimeadozen. Europe seems to have more lenient copyright laws on these kind of releases, I don't think the band gets anything. Might as well DL for free.

It is also going to get a USA release. I fail to see the reason that just bevause it isnt on Rush's label makes it illegal. The run of KBFH radio shows were never on any of the bands 'labels' but they were all legit releases. Whether Rush get a penny or not wont stop me buyin g this!

If you read the Rushisaband piece more closely, it says: It will be available in the US and Canada as an import only - likely due to legal issues as it's not an official Rush release. I'm not sure anyone's saying it's an illegal release. Probably Rush SHOULD be getting paid something for it (or the original radio station that broadcast it or something), but I doubt Rush cares that much if their fans buy this release. I doubt I'll buy it, but I'll probably download a copy from SOMEWHERE.

I don't see it on iTunes though...

Great show! I recorded it off of WMET in Chicago when it was broadcast. On 8 track. LOL! Definitive versions of 2112 and By Tor. They were on fire....

Really?!

Nice.

[Rufus]

Really?!



Nice.

So did any of the bands profit from the legit KBFH releases & did you buy any?

[Scott Bails]

I've bought a few.


But I didn't know at the time that they weren't legit. Had I known, I would not have bought them.

[Phlakaton]

I have the old cd "La Villa Strangiato" same broadcast - love the sound. A rare flub on Natural Science from Neil too - gives it all the more character. lol I'll stick with that.

Question about the setlist: Considering this was from the Permanent Waves tour it's actually pretty light on material from that album and heavy on oldies. Was this the same setlist from the original FM broadcast, or did these people drop PW songs to get this onto a single CD? I notice it times out around 75 minutes so it's clearly not the entire concert.

Those CDs weren't legit? Didn't know that. Sony released them without the right?

They played the entire PW album except for Different Strings & Entre Nous when I saw them. The setlist advertised for the CD is not the complete show.

I just looked at the setlist again and it's also missing Cygnus- X1 and Hemispheres.

I just edited my post above to include a couple more missing songs.

Damn that's a shame!

Indeed. It was a great show!

Been burning out lately to A Desert Passage from Tuscon in '78. My new live Rush favorite. (Except for the crowd mobbing the stage. MOVE BACK)
