I'm a sucker for power-trio live albumsOctober 23, 2008 R. Miller(Arlington, VA) Back in 1976, Rush was a much better live band than studio band. The live versions of "2112" and "Something for Nothing" leave their studio-born siblings in the dust. The same can be said for just about all of the tracks here. Heck, I even like this version of "By-Thor and the Snow Dog." I'm not a huge fan of Phase-I Rush, but the energy here is contagious and the album is a lot of fun to listen to.
And what would a 1970's-era live hard rock album be without an extended drum solo. At least we get to hear one of the greatest rock drummers of all time on this one.
One of the bestJuly 2, 2008 David J. Rumbaugh This live album probably captures Rush at the height of their career. It displays the tightness of the band through their early evolution. Notes are crisp, timing is superb and the musical riffs blend together in as close an approximation of the studio recordings as possible. Geddy is at his finest, suppling a driving back beat equaling the "perfessor" Neil Peart on the skins. Un-like other three man bands, there is no "emptiness" when Alex performs his wonderous guitar solo's.
An excellent selection for those of you wishing to sample Rush for the first time and a must have for those of us that love this Canadian band.
Rush owns live albumsJune 14, 2008 Tyrel Sackett(Oklahoma) This is the first of many incredible live albums by Rush circa 1976. I had this one on cassette back in the day, wore that thing out! A great live version of 2112 on this one, plus Something for Nothing and a Working Man/Finding my Way melody that is out of sight.
An essential live record from RushApril 21, 2008 Johnny Boy(Hockessin, DE) As a longtime fan of Rush, I am a proud owner of this live album. Alex, Geddy and Neil just jam on this great live record from one of the best progressive groups ever.
It's great to hear 'By-Tor And The Snow Dog' live. Alex plays some mighty fine slide guitar here. 'Working Man/Finding My Way' features a great drum solo from Neil, who is, in my opinion, one of the best of all-time. The drum solo alone is worth the price of the entire album.
The record ends with 'What You're Doing,' which was the one that was used for compilations. It's a great one; Geddy's vocals are great, and Neil plays a great beat.
Overall, this is one of the best live records ever released. Highly recommended for any Rush fan. An amazing record from one of the finest trios in rock history.
Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!
The best of Rush's early Live work.February 9, 2008 Richard D. Borum(El Paso, Texas United States) All THe World's A Stage is a truly epic compilation of Rush's growth as a progressive rock genre group at this point in thier career. The lyric excellence and outstanding live performance skills of Neil Peart coupled with geddy Lee's vocal and and virtuoso bass and keyboard performances and Alex Lifeson's complimentary guitar abilities make this a truly elevating sonic experience.
