Additional Comments on show:
From Duley
This show was is more well known to most seasoned Rush collectors by the Moose Records release called Better Beer. While a very good sounding release in it's right, this new DR release is taken from a lower gen source, and sounds excellent for an audience recording, and is a definate step up from the Better Beer release.

From The Digital Dan:
Taken from a digital clone of a 1st gen source. This is more or less a maintanence release of a previous DR production. Since the original production was done 4 years prior with a lower quality source, an upgrade seemed in order. Not only is the 1st gen an improvement sonically over the original, the processing software, hardware, and techniques have also improved in that time. This is by far the best audience source of the tour and rivals the known soundboard in clarity and impact. A worthy addition to any collection and a must have for even you "soundboard only" people. No noise or hiss reduction was used on this production. As with all Digital Reproductions releases, this is for free trade and blank media trade only. Please do not buy or sell, help keep the spirit of trading alive and well.

Taken from Ron's Rush ROIO Review:
It seems like Rush gives a little extra during Milwaukee performances, and this show is no exception. The performance is very seamless and tight, even though the setlist is the same as with almost every other show on this tour. What really makes this show special is the sound quality -- it almost sounds like it could have been an official release! The fidelity is great, and all the instruments can be very clearly heard. Every tom, cymbal crash, and bass riff is crisp and clean. This is so far the best full PoW show I’ve heard.

Taken from the Great Rush Bootleg Series:
The best sounding boot from the Power Windows tour. From an audience DAT. Excellent sound. The encore was played in medley format (no gaps between songs) but the songs were played in their entirety with nothing cut.
