YYZumbi Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Which of these 2 live albums do you like the most and why do you like that live album more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Even tho I was on the Time Machine Tour (it was my first Rush concert as well), I must say I like the Snakes & Arrows Live album more. It just got a better setlist, and more power-feeling. And they play some great songs such as Circumstances, Entre Nous, Natural Science, Secret Touch and A Passage To Bangkok! And I also really enjoy the Snakes & Arrows songs. So Snakes & Arrows Live gets my vote! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I prefer Snakes & Arrows. Better setlist overall, and much better vocals, although they play at a slightly slower pace on this one, that's my one gripe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Snakes & Arrows because the vocals are tolerable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes some of the songs better in my opinion. I can see why you'd prefer that for some of them. But, take for example...Natural Science. That version compared to the Test For Echo live version, which I imagine you've seen, I think there is only one winner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatribein Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I voted Snakes & Arrows Live because it has more songs from the best album RUSH released in this millennium, Snakes & Arrows. Time Machine has Faithless, Presto, Caravan, & BU2B, which are all good, but I'm not into them playing the entire Moving Pictures album in the middle of the set. The Camera Eye, in particular is just a waste of space. Also, I feel a little bitter about it since, I did actually love Caravan, & BU2B the moment I heard them and therefor expected an album on par with Snakes & Arrows to be delivered in a year's time. I was massively disappointed with Clockwork Angels which I consider the worst album RUSH has released since the 70s.

EagleMoon Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Snakes, mainly because of the vocals. Best live video release they've done. They actually put some effort into making it, with the intro and extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 TMT has a much better setlist, but everything else, especially the vocals, are much better on S&A live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I really enjoy a lot of the Snakes set list. Time Machine was my first Rush show since the Grace Under Pressure tour. But the set list was a little too heavy on the PoW - T4E period. Part of the reason I left the band was that material. So Snakes for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chain__lightning Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Tough one. Ged's voice was a little better on the 07-08 tour than Time Machine. Both setlists were different. Snakes had Ghost of a Chance and Mission. Both revived from the vault, which made me happy. Time Machine had Stick it Out and Leave That Thing Alone which were played really well, and it also had Presto. Seriously can't decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 S&A Live by far. Better set list, better video screen stuff (Alex at his best and most funny!), better vocals and just a better overall performance. Honestly, this was the last DVD where I can tolerate most of Geddy's live vocals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Geddy's voice on TM was pretty bad and Alex looked older sweatier and fatter than normal. Not sure if it was the lighting or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_L Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Geddy's voice on TM was pretty bad and Alex looked older sweatier and fatter than normal. Not sure if it was the lighting or what. I would agree with most here, and say that Snakes is overall better than TM. Only advantage I would give TM is that the stage production was more elaborate / had more going on, which I like. But the vocals are not the greatest, and I do prefer the sound production of S&A as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus_2112 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Well, which one has the best version of La Villa Strangiato and Working Man on it? That's right, Time Machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I will say that both albums have better set lists than the god-awful one on A Show of Hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
