  1. I'm late to the game here and there are too many comments on the thread to quote them all. Suffice it to say I agree more than wholeheartedly about an alternate live show, more specifically, one with the previous playlist that included the drum solo in the "Red Lenses" break. But a video version of the same is probably too much to hope for, isn't it?
  2. Also, for future reference, the Firefox browser has a "reader view" feature you can use by way of a little text-document icon located at the right of the url window. Clicking on that and then hitting "refresh" works to read paywalled items from the WP and NYT, among others.
  3. I assume you need to have the ability to make calls while away from home. If I am wrong in that assumption, and given your desire to limit tech in your life, allow me to extend the following advice: If contrary to my assumption, you merely want a mobile option you can leave behind, consider getting a tablet instead. I got an iPad mini a few years back for the sole purpose of being able to do digital presentations in the classroom and only ever use it for that. Otherwise it never leaves the apartment. If I had a phone, I'm afraid I'd know no such discipline.
  4. Thanks for all thee, uh, feedback! Really, it's great to see the replies, as my reaction to Stills' saying that mirrors his words: It was really cool for me. On a similar note, a friend not long ago called up a video of The Yardbirds doing "Shapes of Things" live in the Page era. I didn't say so but found it underwhelming. Later, on my own, happening upon Rush's version again, I decided the next time I saw my friend I would have him call up the Feedback version. I preface the following with the fact that my friend has no Rush bias. They were never on his radar and he hasn't showed any inkling of getting into them. Anyway, he searches out the video on Rush's YT channel and gives it a play. No reaction in real time, he just sits silently listening. When the song finishes he pauses for a moment and then says that it is clearly better than the original in all aspects, adding that this cover version had managed to accomplish everything great he'd thought about the original but had been mistaken about.
  5. You're welcome. No side eye from me. I had never thought much of Feedback and hadn't seen the point even though I'm a fan of the songs covered. Seeing Stephen Stills genuine reaction has me thinking more of the album... and seeing the point.
  6. "It's like... that's very cool for me. We always thought that was very cool." —Stephen Stills about Rush's cover of "For What It's Worth" https://youtu.be/oNEsZYyti_U?t=1042
  7. Yes, I assumed that was part of the plan because of the AtWaS liner notes seeming to hint at that, at least retrospectively upon ESL's release.

    If side one had been produced by Terry Brown and sung by 1975 Geddy and side two produced by Peter Collins and sung by 1987 Geddy... somebody might've freaked out and quit the band.

    Would that I were able. Suffice it to say — (at risk of saying the quiet part loud :oops: and derailing the thread) that while I default to "no", I'd be willing to hear it should someone make it possible.
  10. Like all rankings, it's a challenge because of diverging personal definitions and projected perceptions. I'll get around naming each of these by what I think is the majority standard, which would be the one I think should be more popular, and one I think is too well known or appreciated by naming just one that I thought for years was so overrated that it crowded out better songs and have come to realise had been underrated by me for its compositional quality. Watching the 1997 live video last night sold me on the concept: "Roll the Bones".
  11. He got it right the next time. Besides, almost no one pronounces it right unless they've been told or heard it before. Are you sure that it's not Pairrrt? 'Cus we're really big fans?
  12. I do believe that "Unused Paper Tickets" is part 3-&-a-half of the Rowboatloads o' Regrets pentalogy.
