and Reviews:

Taken from Brent's Bootlegs:

Take a look at that setlist one more time. There are a lot of songs there that you do not find on many other bootlegs. Not to mention that this is the best sounding bootleg available from the signals tour and now it has been made better. The original Signals From London ran approximately 4.5% too fast. This bootleg corrects that problem.

Taken from the Rush Trading Register:

Wembley Arena, 1983. Rush had not visited since the Exit.. tour and was I ever ready.  From what I remember the show was superb, video was much more prevalent and the keyboards where very much to the fore.  So how about the bootleg? - does it do the memories justice. - Yes  - and then some. This is one of those superb audience boots which, when played loud - and I do mean LOUD - really gives you the feeling you where there.  This is probably the best sounding Signals boot out there and certainly the only one committed to CD. For this leg of the tour, Rush dropped Chemistry and where definitely having fun - as the vocals on 'Plumber Who Fix Your Sinks' bears witness.  Other highlights include rockin renditions of Digital Man and Vital Signs plus Countdown.  As a bonus we get some 'Power Windows' filler tracks on disc-2.  Unfortunately while these are nice to have the quality is nowhere near as good as the London show - however a rare treat is a version of Middletown Dreams!!  Packaging is a let down and rather badly designed - but who buys boots for the pretty pictures?  I love this boot!

Bill Girton:

This is a very good audience recording.  Everything can be heard fine and the audience noise is minimum.  It is a complete show but there are a few edits between songs where empty space was deleted.  The band puts on a good performance and do a lot of goofing off at the end of the show.  Sorry for the terrible scan of the cover.  Prism really started to produce shitty liners towards the end resulting in shitty scans.

Nate Hertzog:

This is a great show.  It's the old Signals from London show cleaned up and with the speed and signal problems corrected.  Much better than the original.  This is a great setlist, featuring Digital Man, Vital Signs, Countdown, The Camera Eye, just to name a few.  This is one of my favorites.  Alex sings (I mean moans) at 1:50 of Overture!  But, I'd have to recommend Autumn Woods and Winter Skies as the Signals show to get.

Ben's Notes:

This is a truly amazing show from the last night at Wembly and the band sounds like they are having fun! The sound is very good for an audience tape and this is the re-mastered (speed corrected) version. It's a must have!  Other than a few source tape related glitches, the show fade in, an abrupt ending to In the Mood, most likely the tape ran out,  YYZ fades out and some very slight hiss, this is a very listen-able and enjoyable show.  There is some bonus material tacked on to the end
