From 1977 All The World’s A Stage Tour June 4, London recorded the Hammersmith Odeon performance with an audience recording. It was recorded with a master quality exceeding the already-released “Thank You For Your Warm Welcome”, and the final version of Final / Angkor’s Best I Can was also recorded. The separation feeling between each musical instrument is also good, it is enough to distinguish clearly one bass sound. The excitement of the venue was also real, and at that time I can understand how rush was supported in the UK. Listen to the best set selected from the earliest 3 albums, listen to the fullest, and a fan listening board that caught the young rush who overwhelms the audience with spectacular performance full of lively dynasty appears.

The sound quality far exceeds the already-developed “Thank You For Your Warm Welcome”. Clearness of the base should be noteworthy. By-Tor & The Snow Dog ~ The Necromancer is a powerful full-bassed bassist, even all the sound sources that record this song are the best. Also, the last recorded existing, Best I Can, Finding My Way etc playing with a pitch shifter on vocals, is exactly the perfect answer to listening comprehensive set list of the early rush.
1977年All The World’s A Stage Tourより6月4日、ロンドンはハマースミス・オデオン公演をオーディエンス録音で完全収録。既発「Thank You For Your Warm Welcome」を上回るマスター・クオリティで収録されており、ファイナル・アンコールのBest I Canも収録された同日の決定版。各楽器間の分離感も良く、ベースの一音一音をはっきり聞き分けられる程です。会場の盛り上がりもリアルで、当時、ラッシュがイギリスでいかに支持されていたかがよく分かります。初期3枚のアルバムからセレクトされた最高のセットも聴き応え満点で、躍動感に満ちた壮絶なパフォーマンスで観客を圧倒する若きラッシュの姿を捉えたファン必聴盤が登場です。

音質は既発「Thank You For Your Warm Welcome」を遥かに上回る。ベースのクリアさは特筆すべきだろう。暴れるベースで迫力満点の By-Tor & The Snow Dog～The Necromancerは、この曲を収録する全音源でも随一だ。また現存する最後の録音であるBest I Can、ボーカルにピッチシフターをかけて遊んでいるFinding My Way等は元より、まさに初期のラッシュの集大成的なセットリストは聴き応え満点だ。
