Rush - A Desert Passage Live in Tuscon, Nov. 20, 1978
Date: November 20, 1978
The performance and sound are spectacular and also very unique.
The problems with the crowd are further expounded upon by the
venue management after Geddy is unable to gain the cooperation of the massing
crowd. Cygnus X-1 is finally presented in an uncut format.
And we finally have the rest of 2112 and the encores.
Geddy has a little fun with Lerxt in the Working Man lyrics.
Then the soundman decides to do some interesting things to the sound of each of
them during the Medley. Geddy's vocals are changed considerably during
"In the Mood" and some of the effects on Neil's drums are quite interesting in the
Drum Solo. All in all the definitive Rush concert! And with amazing sound from the Soundboard!
