I am not convinced it was coke doing the sudden increase in temps, but rather a desire to play all the material they wanted and get it done in 2 hours or less. They were that quick every night it seems.

I am excited about Mathieu leaving. It helps the Chiefs. A lot.

Be prepared to at least make seasonal adjustments. This could be more noticeable if you like really low action on your guitars. Ask me how I know.

What I don't like is that it seems this was being advertised as a complete show when it isn't. At this rate, if Rush continues these reissues I will likely assume we will never get a complete show outside of AFtK.

So we have a mish-mash of both nights then?

Agreed, and I never understood the appeal of Jack White's music.

Too bad. Push Comes to Shove is the best song on the album.

Fine with me. I asked for it as a Father's Day present, so I can wait.

I seem to recall this now that it is mentioned. I also forgot he was in Some Like it Hot.

https://deadline.com/2022/04/nehemiah-persoff-dead-obituary-actor-yentl-gunsmoke-was-102-1234995573/ He was pretty good in Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the Twilight Zone. Gotta give it up to 102.

I like this choice. What I heard did nothing for me, but good for him for pursuing music in the manner he wants to.

You did not disappoint. I did not expect an answer.

Unfortunately I do not have them saved but I can think of at least 2 that have been shot from 2015 to the present. IIRC, there is also a brief moment in Time Stand Still where you can see Geddy without the glasses on.

I look forward to the answer of question 18!

IMO the 4's are easier to sell than the 8's (i.e. 7/4 versus 7/8. You can at least tap a toe to 7/4. 7/8 would lose a lot of people in a hurry. This is one reason why the section after the second chorus of The Spirit of Radio works).

IIRC, Solsbury Hill is in 7/4 and there a lot of Tool songs that have odd meters in the entire tune. I can deal with 7/4; I think that lick could have been much more interesting than what it is. The trouble with "Xanaconductor" besides Superconductor being bad is that was a very odd choice so late in the program.

I think that song is an uninteresting attempt at hard rock and odd meters.

A lot worse IMO. I like Tai Shan and Virtuality. Quite a bit. One tune I have yet to see mentioned here for all-time worst Rush tunes: Face Up. It starts off with a fantastic intro and then left turns somewhere that I do not like. Face Up may be the worst Rush song ever for me. Trouble is, about half of that album is bad.

I suspect Zelensky has bigger problems/concerns/desires than wondering if he is invited to the Oscars.

Agreed. I also do not think there is enough evidence to say this is a knock on Phil Collins.

I saw him in August. I am glad I did.

I am with a noted Rush collector on this topic. I think the trouble started in 1987 and didn't sort itself out for about 10 years.

If you can, please do. I am unsure how much of his side of the story he has discussed.

I was trying to think of a question to ask him about Rush, but I could see where perhaps he would get tired of that stuff. I would be curious to know if he saw any trouble between James LaBrie and Mike Portnoy in Dream Theater. Did their troubles show up after he was done working with them or did he see problems even back then?

I may come back to this later, but I will be surprised if 1967 doesn't win. Far too many superb albums released that year.
