Tombstone Mountain Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I was at the Spectrum in Philadelphia Sept 25, 1980 when I first heard "Tom Sawyer" - I'm not sure how many times they had played it live, but at that point, it couldn't have been more than a handful .. I didn't like it then, and I still don't like it .... I have heard Xanadu mnay many many more times, and still love itFirst I heard it was live too. I believe it was at the second Permanent Waves (not the pre Waves show) show I saw. It went something like... " Here is something from our upcoming release blah blah blah"... :) Go for it Alex :D and man, Neil was all over the place with the tempo .... Some different lyrics .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kflP2yBvFYIt's funny how those warly versions are such train wrecks! I like the approach to the guitar solo. Analog Kid kind of shreddingYeah, it's cool but not terribly well crafted. You'll notice that 'The River!' is left out of the lyrics in this early version. Here's the conversation in the studio between Geddy and Terry Brown when they actually recorded it: Ged sings "His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the day's events"Terry: cut. You know it needs something extra at the end of that line to fill some space. Something like a short exclamation that doesn't make sense.Ged: well, ok, let's see what I can come up with.Ged sings "His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the day's events....the Cattle!!"Terry: cut. um yeaaahhhhh, no...let's try something different k?Ged: hmm ok, help me out Neil....oh ok I got it. Let's do it again.Ged sings "His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the day's events....the Poodle!!"Terry: cut. ok come on guys, you can do better than that.Ged: *sigh* But I like poodles. ok fine, try it again.Ged sings "His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the day's events....the River!!"Terry: that's a take. awesome. The River!....makes no sense but neither does the rest of the lyrics so it works. Now let's do some work on that goofy track about the Toronto airport. There you have it folks. The complete history of 'The River!'I'm growing fonder of you daily. We need more of this banter. that's cool. but one word that will not apply: bromance.Bromance is something that applies to Mick and Segue.

They all have their charms absolutely. That won't matter and it won't make him feel better. They are still your five worst albums. The only thing that would have been worse would have been had you included ATWAS. As it is, the Debut and AFTK...... I've got an extra hanky just in case. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) That'll make Narps weep.Just saw this . How AFTK is not universally loved is beyond me. They were right in their wheelhouse. Pure greatness. I can sort of understand the Debut if someone doesn't really like straightforward kick @ss rock... :) Edited September 29, 2015 by Narps 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion and all that good stuff, but I just don't understand how you can shit on Alex's guitar work in the 80s and then make a bizarre claim like this one...at least Alex had a measurable amount of nuance in the 80s :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go f*ck yourselves! :PFor me, it's not that it's 'too mainstream'. It's that I genuinely find it overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's very good, but I genuinely enjoy Counterparts, Test for Echo, Hemispheres, Clockwork Angels, and a few others more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
