YYZumbi Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 My vote goes for R40 Live. I really enjoyed that one. And I liked that Geddy finally was singing Xanaduuuuuu live again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Studio, R40 may be my least favorite but still a fun listen. Geddy's voice is too rough, but I appreciate the effor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Normally I say studio, but in this case, I honestly love the Exit...Stage Left version. It's all tinkly and pretty. Edited December 18, 2015 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I voted studio. However i listened to exit today and it is a work of art.The R40 is a highlight of the show for me so this was not easy choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graxxus Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Broon's Bane > The Trees > Xanadu. ESL by a huge margin. On the studio version the master tape is sped up and Geddy's vocals border on chipmunk territory in spots. The intro is kinda sterile too: Alex's volume swells weren't executed with as much patience and don't have near enough delay and reverb like the later versions and the keyboards are too thin and unrefined. They figured out how to play this song better over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I like the studio version the best and even more so since I time-corrected it so it's in the correct key. It sounds awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you mean? I mean the studio version was sped up. I time corrected it so it's in A440 (standard pitch) like it's supposed to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Just like all the other threads like this, the studio version is almost always the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Anyone who says R40 is the best version is conning themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel Yddeg Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Studio. The higher pitch, IMO, enhances the song, and overall, it sounds so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
