New live videos: 1990-era bootlegs

Wed, Jul 5, 2006@10:00AM | comments removed/disabled

UPDATE - 7/5@1:04PM: Reader Ian noticed my error in reporting that the rehearsal video was Spirit of Radio. It is, of course, Freewill (the post is now corrected). Sorry- it was a long holiday weekend. He also noticed that the live bootleg of Spirit of Radio was from the Counterparts tour rather than Roll the Bones. Thanks Ian!

I located a couple of bootleg Rush videos from the early 1990s era on YouTube recently, and also uploaded one myself. The first is from a soundcheck on the Presto tour recorded on May 17, 1990. This one is fun to watch; the boys play portions of several songs including Subdivisions and Xanadu, and joke around with the tech crew. The second is a video of the band rehearsing The Spirit of Radio Freewill prior to the Roll the Bones tour in 1991. And the one I uploaded is a video of the band performing Spirit of Radio on the Roll the Bones Counterparts tour (I think) - although I'm not sure of the exact date or venue. You can view these videos at the following links:
