Permanent Waves

La Villa!

I agree with the Hemispheres -P ermanent Waves - Moving Pictures option.

sweet guitar!

Rush - All The World's A Stage - By-Tor And The Snow Dog

wow, tough choice for me between: A Farewell To Kings - Hemispheres - Permanent Waves and Hemispheres - Permanent Waves - Moving Pictures but I went with A Farewell To Kings - Hemispheres - Permanent Waves

La Villa = Win

I usually try to avoid missing any part of any show for a bathroom break if If can help it, but sometimes nature calls...And it's usually a mad rush for the can at halftime or at the end, so that isn't always the greatest time to go, either... On the Vapor Trails tour back in Nov. 2002 I went to the concert not knowing the set list. I made it well into the second set but got to the point where I just had to go. It was during the drum solo that I decided "screw it, I have to go, no matter what song is next..." As I headed towards the john, the drum solo ended and they started playing "Resist" (acoustic), and I was quite happy at my timing...So I get to the can, and as I'm taking care of business I overhear two guys complaining about how "Rush doesn't play any of their old stuff anymore, blah, blah.."...As I left they were hanging around, still complaining, and as I get back in and heading back to my seat Resist ends, the lights go black, and I hear the intro of 2112. Perfect Saw them twice on the S&A tour and had great bladder timing - didn't miss one minute of either show. At the Time Machine Tour show last year, I knew the set list going in. It was at the MN State Fair and I got there a couple of hours before the show to partake in some of the State Fair eats and stuff and so I pretty much knew I'd have to take a break or two at some point. Since I knew the set list I kind of planned the best spots to go. I'm not a big fan of most of the S&A stuff, so I went right after LTTA during Faithless to beat the halftime crowd and hopefully make it through to the end of the show (I really didn't want to miss any of the 2nd set) , but I ended up having to go again so I went right after 2112, during Far Cry. Got back to my seat with plenty of time to spare and thoroughly enjoy La Villa Strangiato and the end of the show with an empty bladder

Did this guy even listen to the music? All he talks about is lyrics....he probably read the liner notes and didn't like what he read, so he wrote a bad review...

I first heard 'Fly By Night' and 'Closer To The Heart' on the radio as a kid in the mid-late 70's and for a while didn't know who they were, but they were different than everyone else and I liked it. Then in 1980 I heard The Spirit of Radio and Freewill and was like "holy sh^t!"

1. La Villa Strangiato (always #1) 2. Cygnus X-1 (full version) 3. Jacob's Ladder

Permanent Waves Hemispheres A Farewell to Kings Moving Pictures Fly By Night

definitely Hemispheres then A Farewell to Kings then listen to A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and Permanent Waves in chronological order.

QUOTE (TristanHemisphere @ Jun 27 2011, 11:05 AM) Yeah, my second favorite song off that album, next to By-Tor & the Snow Dog Yeah, I agree with this. However, I agree that they probably shouldn't play it nowadays because of Geddy's vocal range. Anthem is way up there. Geddy would blow his voice out quick trying to tour with that one. I also don't think I'd want to hear a down-tuned version either; I think it works good for 2112, but I wasn't real crazy about the down-tuned Circumstances from the S&A tour...and Circumstances is one of my all-time favorites...

What's a shrimp cot? and something about soup.

I'm not a big fan of that era or the album, but those versions of Marathon and Turn the Page back to back on ASOH are incredible.

Great album, great song, and great guitar solo. The solo sounds kind of Eric Johnson-influenced. (Al is a big fan of EJ)

great!

I'm one that often listens to Rush tunes in chronological order rather than favorite song first, and so on... Today it would be: By-Tor and the Snow Dog 2112 Cygnus X-1 Cygnus X-1 Book II- Hemispheres Circumstances La Villa Strangiato (always #1 on my favorite list) The Spirit of Radio Freewill Jacob's Ladder Natural Science
