Hemisphere's 40th Anniversary Edition - Pre-Orders Now available.
currygoat11 replied to Jag2112's topic in Rush
Reviving an old topic, not sure if this was discussed?? I tried searching but couldn't find.... anyway... The point is that "2112" from Hemispheres 40th Anniversary, as advertised on Rush Backstage Club link where is says: "LP 3 – SIDE F Live in Arizona – November 20, 1978 1. 2112*" this is surely incorrect -- the recording of 2112 certainly appears to be taken from the May 28, 1979 Stadhalle, Offenbach, Germany performance and as mentioned above, this version on Hemispheres 40th Anniversary plays back a little slow which is unfortunate. -
Good Article on Geddy in today's The Washington Post

Wierdness in Jacob's Ladder (Live In Missouri, 1980)
currygoat11 replied to currygoat11's topic in Rush
Now it's very possible there was some kind of minor mistake, and the audio was attempted to be repaired, but they made (another) mistake (?); speaking of fixing mistakes, like on Different Stages on Xanadu live, where they covered up Neil's dropped drumstick on Different Stages, but once we got the same recording on A Farewell to Kings 40th, the mistake was instead preserved. -
This post is ridiculously inconsequential. In Jacob's Ladder (Live In Missouri, 1980) from the Permanent Waves 40th anniversary, after the quiet synths section, why does the 6/7 guitar arpeggio section actually start off in 6/7, then inexplicably shift to 6/6 just one time right when the china symbol comes in? It's supposed to be in 6/7 throughout there.. what happened? Or more importantly why do I care?!?! LOL I don't care, just thought it was completely weird. Here I've linked to the exact moment below..

John Rutsey - not returning phone calls/unpredictable
currygoat11 replied to currygoat11's topic in Rush
My main takeaway I think is that, his departure from the band wasn't exclusively because of future concerns of managing diabetes and rock 'n roll antics on the road. His current sidelining due to illness and how diabetes can affect your mood also was a factor. Plus musical differences which John himself calls out. Illness Diabetes can make you feel like crap; he was ill for months in 1974: - Alex link - Alex link Mood: Diabetes can affect your mood dramatically.. - John talking about the ripped up lyrics link only viewable if you 'View Page Source' - Alex link - Alex link - Geddy link Musical differences We've all heard quotes from Alex and Geddy, but straight from John: John - " link only viewable if you 'View Page Source' -

This is something I have never read. For some reason this web page doesn't show the text content, but it's only available if you 'View Page Source'. This is straight from John and then a comment from Alex.. http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19880404banasiewiczvisions.htm -

currygoat11 replied to currygoat11's topic in Rush
I think I found the Alex interview I was thinking about: http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/20130513musicradar.htm Kind of no reason? A couple of months? How are you going to be in a band with a guy like that? You think maybe it was from the diabetes? He kind of had enough. -

I did find this, which is not exactly aligned with my original rememberance, but it's a little close: http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/20150700classicrock.htm -
John Rutsey - not returning phone calls/unpredictable
currygoat11 replied to currygoat11's topic in Rush
So the reason I'm asking is that my friend was asking me about details, and I wanted to give him an informed response, that's all. -
Sorry to bring this up .. but a year ago, I recollect reading an interview (I think with Alex) where he said in the early days, John Rutsey was kind of unpredictable and wouldn't always return phone calls or (perhaps) show up for practice etc. I'm trying to locate this interview. Does anyone have it?
