What song is this?

Greetings Rush Fans...

 

Ok, put on your thinking caps as this question is a bit of a tough one.

 

Eric (from Power Windows) and I have been trying to figure out what song was being played on the following image:

 

http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/images/tourbooks/powerwindows-27.jpg

 

This image comes from the Power Windows Tour Book, so it was more than likely played during the p/g tour.

 

Any ideas? This one has us stumped.

 

To see all the images from the PoW tour book, click HERE.

 

Thanks,

 

John

It looks like the scientist's head from the Manhattan Project video. That's my guess.

Unlikely as "The Manhattan Project" was on PoW and this shot is more than likely from the p/g tour...

Maybe you're right. I read your post too fast and focused on keywords Power Windows. Still, wow that looks so much to me like Manhattan Project.

 

If these shots are from p/g tour, I'm at a loss then.

A little more research has revealed that the song is, in fact, Red Lenses...

Can't confirm this, but seems likely.

-John

Oh cool. Damn I've never heard that song live. Must be awesome!!

Seeing Geddy's hands on the keyboards and that animation on the screen still makes me think it's "Manhattan Project," performed during the warmup tour six months before the actual Power Windows tour started. In Contents Under Pressure they mention introducing "Big Money" and "Middletown Dreams" during those shows, but they worked on the other PW tracks during soundcheck every day. That photo could've been taken during a full "dress" rehearsal -- note that you can't see any audience members in that shot.

 

Just a theory.

Or maybe I'm wrong... tongue.gif

 

"Red Lenses" is probably right. Seems like a weird animation to show during that song, but since when to the boys do anything "normal?"

That is a possibility as Red Lenses was played durning the PoW "Warm Up" tour (see the setlist of that tour HERE.)

 

So the question then would be - was the PoW Tour Book created after the Warm Up tour, which would allow for this image, or before (which would point back to Red Lenses...)

 

Questions, questions...

A definite possibility. If it were to be Red Lenses, I'd be curious as to why the animation is so damn close to Manhattan Project. They've never done anything like that before.

 

This plot is getting as thick as peanut butter. (let's see who recognizes the obscure reference).

A Steinberger bass. Ged used it on both the GuP and PW tours.

I was wondering about that one myself. I have seen many pictures of Geddy using that online and in Contents Under Pressure. I had no idea what it was. trink39.gif

No but I like yours better. Mine was a silly reference loosely quoting Yukon Cornelius.

That's what I was thinking! I know that image is used in the Manhattan Project video, and I don't ever recall them ever using part of a video in another song either. I'll bet 1-0-0-1's right and it's from a full dress rehearsal prior to the warm-up tour. confused13.gif wacko.gif laugh.gif

 

 

 

Oh yea, don't forget about Bumble...

You can't have Yukon Cornelius without Bumble! biggrin.gif
