Sound wise? Best sound of any hard rock or metal of the time. Def Leppard were hot and cold. One tour they were unbelievable, the next sucked ass, the next - back to brilliant.

Ray Charles was at the Madison Blues Fest about 8 or 9 years ago. All day long the sound system was working great and the performers sounded great all over the park. Just before Ray came on, a couple of the jackasses running the show decided to "adjust" the sound system. They fucked it up so bad you couldn't hear/understand what Ray was singing anywhere in the park. After maybe 5 or 6 songs most of us left in disgust.

I love Rush, but the problem with Rush live, at least the two shows I saw, is that they play everything just like on the album. So it's pretty much like you are running the CD through a huge sound system. It is impressive to a degree that they can play everything exactly the same, but I would prefer to see Alex just let it rip. Primus opened for Rush at one of the shows, and that was excellent! I also saw Primus at a small venue once. Only time I ever moshed. I got punched in the face. It was awesome

Did you get to see the Vaopr Trails tour concert? Alex really did let go and improvise quite a lot! Very impressive!!
