Rare CD: Rush "Rushian Roulette"

"Rushian Roulette, a rare live CD from Rush. This is the show from the Pinkpop Festival in Geleen, Holland in June 1979, at the very tail end of the Hemispheres tour. CD is an original silver disc in excellent condition with no scratches or scuffing and pressed on the Metal memory label (MM 90018). This recording was actually made for FM broadcast, so the quality is nearly flawless. One of the nicest surprises is a rendition of The Sphere as an intro to Closer to the Heart, which is not listed in the track listing. And this version of Xanadu is, in my opinion, superior to any other recorded version. With the band embracing keyboards and other instruments during this period, some of the older songs are spiced up a little. Very, very cool set clocking in at just under 56 minutes.
