Ha! I had fixed your link but apparently you were in the middle of editing your post again. Fixed it again. :D YouTube changed their links a little while back. They made their links "secure" which means there's now an added "s" in the link. To embed the videos the "s" needs to be removed. Use the link contained in the Share tab below the video. The link will look like this: https://youtu.be/dzcA8_EkYQ0 That "s" in "https" needs to be removed so that it reads "http." Remove the "s" after pasting it in here and you get this: http://youtu.be/dzcA8_EkYQ0 Ahh! Thank you!

You've been fooled! It an illusion that happens to happen to the hi-hats when he steps on the hi-hat pedal on each eighth note downbeat. Whenever a drummer plays the upbeat with the bass drum and plays straight eighths over a hi-hat that is being closed every downbeat this illusion occurs. The drum audio wasn't cleaned up at all. It's just a time keeping trick that fools many people.

Pics or it didn't happen

Made a spotify playlist of the set if anyone is interested.

The set rocks. Judging from the tourbook credits, I wouldn't be surprised to see Distant Early Warning alternate with Big Money and (unfortunately) Jacob's Ladder with Natural Science. A bit disappointed they didn't play anything off Test for Echo (Driven would've been nice) or Presto, but as much as I loved their mid 80s splash on the CA tour, I'm happy they overlooked that era.

They're opening the 2nd set with all of Permanent Waves. 36 minutes of music that would probably take up only a third of the second set. Three of the six songs are confirmed from the tourbook, Free Will and Entre Nous never had rear screen video productions. They're gonna do it. I'm calling it. Right. Now.

They shortened the song because of time constraints of their shows during their early years. They had an opening act through the Counterparts tour. That limited them to only two hours. They finally played Oracle because the T4E tour had more time and flexibility for more songs. It's still the reason they don't play all of 2112 nowadays. Takes up too much time.

Your Welcome! Woke up and did a quick google search on my phone and had to post it here.

Listened to the whole thing on my headphones: Ceiling Unlimited's guitar solo sounds out of place the first time you hear it. The second time makes so much sense and fits. Love the bass distortion effect in Peaceable Kingdom. How It Is might be my favorite of the remixes, the intro is incredible. I felt Secret Touch and Earthshine were the least tinkered with, but I suppose that's ok. I thought Nocturne turned out interesting with the reverb on the guitar and the room effect on the vocals. Freeze was drastically different sounding, but for the better. And of course, now I can hear the drum fills clearly on Out of the Cradle!

Yay! http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rush-remix-their-polarizing-album-vapor-trails-premiere-20130927

Do you have a link to that? Love to see what this person says about the remix. If people in Germany are getting it, chances are it will be floating around the inter-webs pretty soon.

Hmm... Thought the boys announced they were coming back to Boston. Maybe the 6 day gap between Hamilton and Halifax is hiding two shows?

Thanks! I record the videos on an iPad. The sound is meh, but I haven't really had a need for recording equipment (or the money). I had just changed the heads on the drums and they sound fantastic now, but the recording does not at all do it justice

Thanks for your kind words. I'm going over some of the Rush catalog for the first time in a year or two. I gave YYZ a go the other day, so I'll probably give it a few more go arounds and put everything together in a little more than week. Always appreciate another drummer's critique! Drummers share such a diverse language, it's always a pleasure to play for someone who gets what the whole deal is about. I should really vacuum that rug though. So many wood chips from the sticks, it's a potential warzone!

Hey everyone, just thought I'd share my drum cover of A Farewell to Kings. I've been playing for over 15 years and have yet to put out any sort of videos of my drumming. I thought I would start here with us Rush fans. If there's anything you'd like to request please let me know and I will try to get a quality cover up as I possibly can. Thanks!

Music Today has been very nice to me over the years. Starting in 2007, I had 3rd row, 12th, 40th or so, and 17th rows. The 40th row ticket was from the TMT at Mohegan Sun. Checked out the Mohegan sun tickets today and was unsatisfied with the 20 or so offers I stumbled upon. Nothing in the first 3 sections of the floor. Disappointed, but it was bound to happen with the run of great seats I had the previous few years. It's not a problem. I'll just hedge my bets with the Boston show later in the tour.

Geddy should play keyboards even if Lerxst wrote the part. It kinda seems like a gimmick to me. The only reason reason Alex ever does that is specifically because Geddy is playing bass at those times and Alex is not playing guitar like in Superconductor and Time Stand Still. That's not a gimmick, it's a necessity if you actually want the part played. There is a piano part in the song that's clearly sampled, though. If you watch the youtube videos from the show in Manchester, when the piano first comes in, Alex is still in front of his mic and guitar pedals. Then he walks over to the piano to play his part. That's inaccurate. I was there in Manchester. The piano didn start until he started playing it. And if you listen, you can hear him screw up.

QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Sep 8 2012, 08:51 AM) QUOTE (CygnusGal @ Sep 8 2012, 07:46 AM) Ahhh...a little sleep. I feel much better.... I'm replaying the concert this morning (HD 720p) and taking inventory. Wow! It was *so* fraking good. My reaction this morning is even better than last night. A few bumps are expected - it is opening night. I have never witnessed a flawless Rush show. The setlist: I was surprised at the '80s focus and the tracks from RTB. I thought it was very strong though. Great selections from Signals through PoW. Great to see The Body Electric! Loved PoW! Songs I haven't seen in decades and it was great to hear them again. A great change of pace from the usual fare. My only wish was that they would have played La Villa Strangiato...oh, well. Still awesome! Sorry, Losingit2k - no Losing It. I can understand them not wanting to play that song because of its underlying message. The bell is not ready to toll for Rush. My videos turned out pretty well for the most part. Some pretty harsh audio clipping at times. Shortened many songs to preserve battery - which was done during Manhattan Project. The Greatest Band in The Galaxy! Hey there!!! Top of the morning to ya... Could you tell me how CA the song went down...hard piece to play and sing. How did it translate live? I thought the all of the CA songs translated well. Didn't sound like they had to drop any parts musically except for Neil missing a few bars in Clockwork Angels to switch kits.

QUOTE (snowdog2112 @ Sep 8 2012, 01:48 AM) I just wanted to comment again after re-reading everything to thank you for all the details. It's really nice to read a review from someone who can really hear what's going on. As usual for an early (or in this case, opening) show, it sounds like there were a lot of flubs and some technical glitches. Alex is far and away my favorite player and has been for decades but there's no question he has the greatest range in performance from sheer perfection some nights to being really, really off on others. The fact that you referenced The Big Money solo on Rush in Rio confirms to me that you know what you're talking about. I've actually heard people say they can't hear anything wrong in it which makes me wonder just what the heck they hear when they hear music. He holds that one note during the solo way too long and then has to cram the next part to catch up to get back in sync. It's dangerously close to crashing. I posted the full Sarsstock performance on my youtube channel and some people have said they played perfectly, I just don't get it, there are many obvious total flubs throughout and it shouldn't take a musician to hear them, they're blatant. I say all this not to criticize the band, they're better than just about anybody, it just disappoints me how superficially people often hear things. Anyway, enough ranting about that. I'm sure they'll get it together. I saw them on the third night of the Counterparts tour which in over 30 shows was the earliest in a tour I had ever seen them and while I had fun it was just a series of techical glitches and flubs and stuff all night. The low synthesized voice in Double Agent wouldn't come on and Ged had to just speak it and so on. This is one of the reasons I'm so glad they film their shows much later in the tours when the bugs have been removed. Anyway, thanks again and I can't wait to see this tour! Thanks for your kind words. I go to Rush concerts with a keen ear, almost as if I'm listening for mistakes and nuances rather than the songs as a whole. A few notes: The only non-Gibson guitar Alex played with was a beautiful Red Fender Telecaster with a white pickguard during Manhattan Project. Geddy played a light blue (YES) Fender Jazz bass for some CA songs. Big Al used the Gibson Goldtop on just Carnies and Headlong Flight. He used the white ES-355 for Far Cry and Working Man.

EDIT: Already listed

Here's the video!

QUOTE (sitboaf @ Sep 8 2012, 01:16 AM) Great breakdown! One small correction... QUOTE About two minutes before the second set started, the strings joined the stage. About 10-12. There were 8 players in the ensemble. I posted about it here Also, the electric Alex solo between Headlong and Halo... I'm not a musician, but the tuning on that guitar seemed REALLY unusual. Sounded cool, tho. And I thought I heard bits of BU2B2 in there. Or am I mistaken? I thought the solo sounded fine. hmm. If there were eight musicians, there were eight musicians haha.

Ok, uploading the 30 second vid right now!
