Probably the second most booted show in Rush bootleg history behind the Grace Under Pressure Tour video. The St. Louis show is about 75 minutes as recorded (not the whole show, which has never surfaced), but there is an abbreviated vinyl version of the show "The Temples of Syrinx" which is about 45 minutes. There are no commercially available King Biscuit Rush CDs, but there are radio shows. Most of these shows are some combination of the Exit Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure or A Show of Hands videos.

I had this in my head during the whole ceremony to combat nervousness. I'm not sure if it worked.

Perhaps it's safe to assume then that this error on the Canadian copies of Clockwork Angels was never corrected. I thought the zeroes were pretty cool, that's why I have a copy.

These were played at our wedding. Madrigal -- Rush Time Stand Still -- Rush The Spirit Of Radio -- Rush Witch Hunt -- Rush With a bunch more songs available now, I'd consider many of those too.

One of my copies of Clockwork Angels has 0s where the times of the songs should be.

VERY likely the St. Louis show.

I don't think they changed that. My copy has that too. By the way, I have this available but the cover is not as nice as this one.

Update?

6/28/2002 -- Saw them six times on that tour, but I was in tears for most of the Harfford show. I've never been with a crowd with that vibe before or since. It's hard to put into words the joy of that night. You could see it in the band's eyes that night too.

Not commercially released, but it was released along with the Dreamline promo CD single about 6 weeks before Roll The Bones came out. As far as I can tell, this was never released anywhere but in the US. Supposedly only 200-to 300 copies exist. I still remain baffled as to the rationale behind it though it is a favorite of mine. Those Counterparts promo 12 inches are the last vinyl Rush singles until Caravan/BU2B and are fairly difficult to find.

I've seen pictures...

Not on DVD. I've still got copies of the laserdisc and video (I might part with the video). The only videos that have not been upgraded to DVD are Countdown and The Body Electric. Thr Vital Signs video was finally released on as part of the Deluxe Edition of Moving Pictures. I think the rest of Through The Camera Eye ended up on the Chronicles DVD.

I guess I'm a purist, but where possible I always try to keep the original sleeve if it isn't completely destroyed and if I know it's original. Sometimes it's impossible to tell though. I have all vinyl formats on the UK The Body Electric (7, 10, 12). I think my favorite is the 12 because the picture sleeve just might be my favorite Rush front cover photo ever. I love that photo. At that time there was still that perception that they were serious all of the time and this photo was one of the few that debunked that theory. I'm reasonably certain it was taken April 8, 1983 in Montreal (I believe I matched the photo to the bootleg video once-- I suppose I can double check that on you tube) If I recall correctly, it also makes an appearence in the Grace Under Pressure tourbook. I don't have many 45s from countries other than Canada, US and the UK. I have a few from Japan and a few other countries, but they are usually difficult to find and tend to be more than I want to pay for them when I do run across them. I'm not even sure exactly what is out there because those releases aren't as frequent as in the US, UK and Canada. I'd have to check, but I think my Canadian Copy of that Special Edition A Passage To Bangkok 12 inch also has a buildings and trees label like the other two do. Apparently, the record label must have been in some sort of transition then

I'd say gray market rather than official but as long as you're enjoying it that's what counts.

I actually collect these, but only managed to find about five so far -- 2112, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Archives (2) I never bought a Rush cassette in my life though (Actually that's not quite true, I have a few cassette singles (remember those?) from the Presto, Roll The Bones and Counterparts.) I've seen Rush cassettes (including all compilations) through 1997 (I don't know if they bothered with remastering the cassettes aside from Retrospectives I and II) I'm also not sure if Vapor Trails was released on cassette in the US, but it may have been. I would imagine Different Stages wasn't but that came out in 1998.

Just to avoid confusion for those that aren't aware, this is from the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame Ceremony from a few years ago.

I' have the Korean 2112 myself. It's definately a fave of mine. I'm pretty sure I have most of the UK 12s. I think I'm missing Countdown. I started out not really wanting to get involved in the UK releases, but the fact is they are very creative over in the UK with their formats and I was sucked in by the artwork and how much cooler (and more plentiful) it was than the US releases (Marillion is another good example.) By this point, the only unreleased tracks that were never commercially released on any albums were the B-Side from Exit... Stage Left (Vital Signs) and the excerpt of the Countdown Interview (which if I recall comes from that Signals Radio Special you posted earlier.). That was another reason I hadn't wanted to get involved with the UK releases as a lot of it is the same stuff so I mainly have them for the cool art. That " Special Edition" is one of my favorites too. It seems to be a lot rarer than it should be, and of course the live cover is pretty neat too. I don't think the prices on those will ever come down. Those seem to be the only two releases that have been holding their value for a while now possibly due to the fact that you have other record collectors who aren't necessarily Rush fans interested in those. It's also interesting that there always seem to be people who are sell their copy on a somewhat regular basis, possibly because they know that they will almost certainly get their money back. Or maybe they found a better copy and are upgrading. You wpuld think something like this would be impossible to find, but they don't seem to be if you really want one. The single is probably the rarer and more expensive of the two I'd say.... ipb.global.registerReputation( 'rep_post_2918831', { domLikeStripId: 'like_post_2918831', app: 'forums', type: 'pid', typeid: '2918831' }, parseInt('0') );

Vapor Trails Snakes and Arrows Clockwork Angels (I'm not kidding)

I was trying to assemble a list of every show I've ever seen and was trying to figure out who I saw Steve Morse open for in San Diego in the late-'80s (I still don't know) and my googling led me to this thread. I thought, what the hell, I'd sign up and definitively answer the question. If your first show was in 1986, it may have been Steve Morse that opened.

I'm just going to go with the very first copy of everything (Vinyl or CD) and not get bogged down with the mulitples game. Everything on release days (or before when I learned how to do that) except for compilations (got those later and cheaper) beginning with Power Windows. (I bought my own copies of everything before that over a period of a few months in 1984).

Uh...something of European/UK origin from the late 1970s? Seems to be what it was modeled after anyway. Could be official, but maybe not. It could just be a knock off. If you like it though, that's all that matters. I have a framed Vapor Trails lithograph hanging up and I doubt many around here would be caught with such a thing on their wall. Not because it's extremely rare or anything, but just because its Vapor Trails.

Not only that...the first tour and a half has some NICE sounding shows as well! Very true. What often gets overlooked in the exposure of those Cleveland shows is the Electric Ladyland Studio gig that was also a radio broadcast. Very Cool. I love how it seems like there's live five people in the audience. And an alternative version of Fly By Night. Written a few weeks before.....so they say.

CD singles? The first Rush promotional CD single ever pressed was Time Stand Still. The first CD single, more like a gold video disc, was The Big Money (which included the video) with Marathon and Red Sector A from the Grace Under Pressute Tour video.

Interesting. I guess you could say that it's Rush's first 45 bootleg. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for it. Sailing Into Destiny is one of my favorite vinyl bootlegs. Grace Under Pressure video on the first three sides and some audio from the Exit...Stage Left video on the fourth side. This was invaluable when it first came out because you could record it for the car or play it on your stereo as the audio wasn't commercially released at that point. As far as holy grail stuff goes. I don't value the Moon stuff as much as some others (I do have the Moon album but not the single) That's a really hard question to answer. I think about it periodically and can never really settle on anything.
