Wish that DVD had the entire show. Yes, me too. Never understood why it didn't and what happened to the rest of it. Also wish they had back then the equipment they have today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 I love to watch Alex at the end of the song. He was playing his heart out and giving it all he had. Yes, I know I've said it many times before, but that IS the way I always want to remember him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think the booklets are little replicas of the tour programs, aren't they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I want to Gush Over Earthshine. One of their best songs. If one thinks about the title, the meaning... quite scientific yet beautiful.Very progressive and modern.There's something glimmering on this planet and Neil does get it! :Neil: :Alex: :geddy: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it is gush worthy. :wub: :wub: That's one of the most beautifully haunting and goosebumpy and emotional Xanadu intros. Even Neil did his cow bells different (not sure if that is what it is, but y'all know what I mean :)). 4:19 Always so majestic that part. Triumphant might be a better word.

Eel Yddeg Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Have been listening to A Passage to Oslo (5/22/1979) and found two AMAZING parts: First at 44 minutes in we get a STUNNING version of "Cygnus" in HemispheresAnd at 1:21:45 we get a MINDBLOWING solo in "2112: Presentation" The Tour of the Hemispheres had the band in top form! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eel Yddeg Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Want to gush over Secret Touch! An incredibly under-rated song, just discovered it a couple weeks ago while watching a Vapor Trails bootleg, top-notch song. Effortlessly switches between hard and soft sections, and is filled with top-notch melodies. The riff Lifeson does at 4 minutes in... WOW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you that it is under rated. I think that's some of Neil's best lyrics in that song. Rarely do I listen to the album cut though. Mostly just the live versions from the VT tour.

Lorraine Posted December 25, 2016 Author Share Posted December 25, 2016 I thought so too. Whoever did it, either was up real close or had some type of super camera. Did a good job. I noticed that Geddy looked choked up during that song too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
