Welp, the solo audio is mostly not in sync with the video.
I would pay to just have the one camera shot. This was probably cut back then, seems to be the fashion, and not released for the 60min VHS.
The Terry Brown remixes are great, you can hear Neil and Alex much better, more energy. I bought the box set on an impulse buy, returned it unopened when I saw they released a lot on YT.
Then I saw the travesty of the solo video and feeling less stupid.

Yeah it's a head scratcher. Some of the footage thats in sync is cool but the stuff that's not is a bummer.

I understand Anika is playing with Geddy and Alex live at the junos.

They just opened up the Junos. A safe choice.

I like her ad-libbing the hi-hat hits at 2:17, and how she covered alot of the fills more "economically"....
Looking forward to see how her playing evolves over the tour as she gets more confident and comfortable with the tunes.
Very cool.............

Really interesting hearing a more relaxed feel compared to Neil. He was so on top and gave it a driving feeling that I'm so used to.
It's a tough chair to fill and she did it. Pretty impressive.
I noticed a lot of fills that start on the snare she's only using toms - little things like that.
I'm really happy for Ged and Alex - they seem happy to be out making music. I'm glad Rush is still active.

Was at the show Sunday for the first show of the tour. It was fantastic. What a way to open up the concert with a silly film and Zanadu. So slick with the lighting and such. Anika was great. Played it safe. Didn't really play any of Neil's parts. Generic fills for the most part. I'm sure once she gets more cozy with the songs she will get more creative. Power was there. drums tuned kinda low. snare was a bit flat with no body in the mix. super fun sight and sound for sure.

Rick Beato did an interview Annika shortly after the first concert. Pretty fun.
