awesome
Rush- Different Stages :Live is the greatest album set. I absolutely love it. I listen to it all the time and can't stop. I am starting to become a HUGE fan. I definitely think everyone should get this, and all the other, Rush CDs!

THERE BEST LIVE RELEASE YET
I would have never thought Rush could out do All The Worlds A Stage, but they have here. What I like about the release is you get a little bit of everything here. Released in 1998, you get alot of songs from the 97 tour. Also included is songs from the 94 tour & a extra cd of live recordings from 1978. The 97 material to me is the best. They have never sounded better. This is a highly recommended live recording from from one of the great live bands out there still today.

By far their best live album
The compilation of songs blew me away. Rush do not get any air time out here, so a live album with some of their greatest work, it doesn't get any better. I've been a huge fan since I found Power Windows in 1985 and I hope they keep on coming.

Rush - 'Different Stages' (Atlantic) 3-CD
Rush's fourth live release straight off their 'Test For Echo' tour.Has the same raw and rocking 'feel' that their first live record 'All The World's A Stage' did.Disc three of this title is what drew me to 'Different Stages'.It's an unreleased archive live 1978 concert from London,UK.It's just so good to be able to experience a live CD from their 'Farewell To Kings' tour,with outstanding cuts like "Xanadu",the title cut "Farewill...","Cygnus X-1" as well as the others.A must-have for all true Rush fans.

Best Live Prog Album
I'm a huge progressive rock fan, and I must say that, of all the live albums I've got, this is BY FAR, the best of them all. First of all, it's Rush. Enough said. Secondly, it's three discs of material, ranging from their debut all the way up to Test For Echo, and it even includes the entirety of "2112", "Xanadu" and "Cygnus X-1", three things I have been waiting to hear live for a long time. The third CD, which, I think, is of a show from '76 is great-sounding and a great look at Rush's earlier stuff (which I can't get enough of). The mixing on the album is simply amazing. You can hear the crowd, but it doesn't drown out the band at all; it serves almost as another instrument (though not loud), to remind you that Rush played all of the incredible songs on the first two discs in one show with only one break halfway through. The guitar is very clear, which was a problem for previous live albums (Exit . . Stage Left), yet the bass and drums, as always with Rush, take the lead and drive the music. Especially good are the extended jam of "Closer to the Heart" (complete with funk bassline), the impressive bass solo on "Driven", and "The Rhythm Method", which is an amazing 6-minute-ish drum solo by the master himself, Neil Peart (this was later actually refined and improved on the live album "Rush in Rio" as the song "O Baterista"). Instead of saying "There is nothing wrong with this album", I will be positive and say "There is everything right with this album". Everything about it is amazing. Buy it now.
