Imagine Bravado recorded on MP.

Given Geddy's voice at that time, we may perceive that song different. Put it on Counterparts and I think it would be rockin'!

I think with TCE, if it were recorded the way it was played on the Signals tour, it would be much more enjoyable.

The Camera Eye.

There, I said it.

Thoughts?

Cairo, Egypt, to central Missouri: 6440 miles. I was born while my parents were working overseas. A more fair/telling measure might be: I live about 50 miles from the house I grew up in (ages 2-18), and where my parents still live.

I forget: are you native to a college town?

My ear and technical musical knowledge isn't as good as yours so I don't really notice the tempo changes in ESL. I'll just say that I don't think they had lots and lots of MP live shows to choose from for the ESL album. My guess is that all 3 Toronto shows and the Montreal show were recorded multi-track. The only other MP show recording we have confirmation on is the Edmonton show June 25th, and I don't know if that's a multitrack recording or just a board tape. Having listened to a fair bit of live recordings from MP tour and editing compilations using various performances stitched together and then trying to sync that to video, I found Rush's tempos very consistent.

 

Now the Signals tour... whoa, that's a different story 

I was bummed we didn't get the whole Edmonton show.

Compared to the studio recordings, no. The fast and loose they would play though was generally consistent. The known recordings from Signals were all that energetic (I suspect this was done to get all the material played that they wanted to in 2 hours or less).

If one wanted to look for clues to how coke was affecting their performances, I would start listening to the vocals first. Coke can wreak havoc on the pipes.

What kind of a f***ing idiot goes to a game with wind chill predicted around 30 below?  An idiot i guess.  Probably be a few without shirts on too!

Chiefs fans do.

They are a special breed.

Assuming they didn't turn his guitar off, he actually learned the whole song, too. Jambi is a f***ing killer track

I think he learned at least some of it.

This is also my birthday and would have been a SWEET concert to see. I am not a big Tool fan, but your assessment of Jambi is correct. Seeing Alex play this song would have been a great concert moment.

With the way the Chiefs are heralded around here, I'd be floored if it weren't on broadcast TV.

I plan to avoid it and would be pleasantly surprised at a Dolphins win.

Four more dropped balls, though .  . .

Not to mention the question of if they win the division at all.

I saw this from John Densmore's FB feed. Ladd pulled some excellent interviews. I suspect I won't see his like again in my lifetime.

RIP.

I'm a K-State guy too, so maybe that has something to do with it?

I'm as happy as the next Missourian when the Chiefs win, but the officials have been directed to call that penalty more often this year, so what're they supposed to do? This is on Toney -- he can't see the effin ball from where he's standing? If I were Veach, the Chiefs' GM, I'd have cut that guy or traded him to the Panthers by 8:01 this morning.

Does every Missourian like a Chiefs win?

is anybody going to watch  the Patriots /  Steelers  game thursday night?    haha   

Nope.

I have vague plans to watch next week though.

Well considering Presto is a better album than VT, I hardly find that surprising! 
 

No no, it’s the fact that Heresy and You Bet Your Life are more popular that has me confounded.

I like Heresy.

I still have mine.

This answers the question of whether or not I should pick up this book.

We should be more sad about this.

RIP.

Yeah, when I was in the military, one guy was always volunteering to be part of a crew finishing a building involving glue. Later I found him in the toilet with his wrists slashed. We managed to save him. Needless to say, he got discharged. Btw, how can anybody find 'Friends' funny? Total crap. 

I am sorry that Matthew Perry is gone, but Married With Children trumps all for '90s sitcoms.

Frankly, this looks great. Time to get the Paramount + password from my daughter.

But you already know the answer to his question!

That was . . . not convincing. On the other hand, if a team is what they're record says they are, then it's hard to argue against five wins in a row. Keep grinding, KC!

What if you're undefeated?

Next KC Game

 

Is Taylor Swift going to the New York Jets game?

 

 

Via Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com, the pop icon Taylor Swift plans to attend Sunday night's game between the Chiefs and the jets at MetLife Stadium. Swift is now dating (or whatever they call it)

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. 

 

 SELL OUT MOST LIKELY>

Who cares what is going on with those 2?

While I appreciate a mix with the guitar front and center, I can't even hear the bass.  Still, thank you for posting!

This tour was notorious for that.
