Rush - 15 June 1981 - Aladdin Theatre, Las Vegas, Nevada

Rush live at Aladdin Theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada during the Moving Pictures tour. This is a completely new, uncirculated Rush recording, having surfaced on Dimeadozen on 11 June 2022. This is not one of the best audience recordings of the Moving Pictures tour, and occasionally has brief distortion, but once your ears adjust to it, this show is easily enjoyable. There were a handful of audio dropouts during The Camera Eye and YYZ, for which I have carefully gone through and removed the annoying gaps of silence. Removing the gaps of silence still don't quite make those areas flow completely flawlessly, but it is much more subtle and less detracting. Alex plays a very short guitar solo during the end of Vital Signs, which I've never heard in any other recording. There are a couple entertaining moments, such as when Geddy is introducing Tom Sawyer he says their next song is from Permanent Waves, but quickly corrects himself. When introducing Natural Science, Geddy emphasizes that the song IS from Permanent Waves, in reference to his slip-up earlier.
